Why do idiots always get my righteous indignation fired up...?

Question

A question was asked about global warming. Now I dont claim to know if its completely caused by man or not but it is still something that ought to be looked into. One answer to this question struck me like a slap in the face. I will paraphrase in the way it came across to me.

"Jesus is gonna take me away from here one day so I dont have to give a f***."

A couple of things.
A: According to the christian religion no one knows the when he will return.
B: We know natural and man made disasters occur.
C:It is obvious we are heating up if you think it is caused by man or not.
D:Most of us have children.

Are you really so disgustingly arrogant to barter away the future of YOUR OWN children on a bet about christ returning in your own lifetime?

Makes me sik.

Answer 1

I'm a Christian.

I don't believe Global warming is strictly a man made phenomenon.

You're right, that persons attitude sucks.

Answer 2

that answer was unbiblical and probably not from a
christian. No Where In The Bible does ADONAI give
us permission to thrash HIS garden. Anyone/everyone
knows this planet is in serious trouble because man
has thrashed nature. christians and non-christians alike.
you have a right to be angry, by the way ADONAI is too!!

Answer 3

Troll through these fourms man. Youll see some people who belive that Jesus will be back tomorrow. But i Guarantee that if he did come back not a single one of these people would belive him. "you dont look like Jesus!"


Dont feel bad, theyll all die in vain.

Answer 4

Primoa is obviously arrogant and cares about nobody but himself. Not unlike so many other Christians we know of.

Answer 5

Jesus is going to love that guy

Answer 6

You know, that was actually the take of one of Reagan's environmental advisors.

It is very sad.

Answer 7

I agree with you totally, One wise person once said "Have faith in God but do tie your Camal"

Answer 8

wow, I'm very amazed as well! that's a very selfish answer! he doesn't give a f*** because he's not going to be here anyway? wow... I don't know what to say... I'm totally shocked...

Answer 9

It shouldn't make you sick... it should make you scared. I think that everyone is still missing the REAL story... the story that accounts for why we're not making any real progress with regard to the environment and global warming, for example. The real story is that the people who actually have the power to DO something about these problems do not think it matters. Every now and then, though, some blabbermouth lets something slip, which provides a critical insight:

"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and... know nothing but the word of God." ~ Martin Luther (This blabbermouth included for historical perspective, only.)

“My responsibility is to follow the Scriptures which call upon us to occupy the land until Jesus returns.” ~ James Watt, Former (US) Secretary of Interior, Washington Post, May 24, 1981

“We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand.” ~ James Watt, Former (US) Secretary of Interior, Washington Post, May 24, 1981

"I don't know how many future generations we can count on until the Lord returns." ~ James Watt, Former (US) Secretary of Interior, to a Congressional committee in 1981, quoted from "A Brief History of the Apocalypse"

It is NOT that the people who are high up in our government DO NOT BELIEVE that the destruction of the environment, and global warming are immediate and dire threats... it is simply that they DO NOT CARE about the threat. They BELIEVE that the return of Jesus is imminent... that this world will be destroyed, and a ‘new earth’ will be created for the ‘faithful’. They BELIEVE that is their 'Christian duty' to establish the necessary conditions here on earth such that they can hasten the day of Jesus' return. So, it simply DOES NOT MATTER that the earth may soon be unfit to support human life. For this same reason, they are not concerned about the burgeoning national debt... they simply don’t think that anybody will be around to 'collect'. They are NOT CONCERNED about future generations for the simple reason that they do not think there will be more that one or two future generations.

Of course, our ‘leaders’ cannot admit to this... if they were to do so, a large part of their ‘Satanically-misled’ constituency would denounce them and repudiate them. So... they prevaricate... they obfuscate... they lie... they deceive... they misrepresent... they ignore and even discredit the ‘science’. To them, it is no more than a delaying-game... a ‘rear guard’ action in what is (to them) a very real ‘war’... a war against Satan and his minions... and they think that they are the ‘good guys’. What a hoot... the 'good guys'... intentionally and gleefully paving the path toward the destruction of civilization and humanity, believing that they are going to put one over on Satan. In short... our leaders are quite insane.

These people think that they are the most moral of men... working tirelessly to further 'god’s plan'. And since they are are working on behalf of ‘god’, they see absolutely nothing wrong with lying, cheating... whatever it takes to thwart and delay those who would interfere with “god’s plan.” In other words, lying to those who (they think) are doing the work of Satan is not regarded as a sin. They think that god gave man ‘dominion’ over the earth (from Genesis)... and they view it as their god-given duty to claim the earth, subdue it and use it... physically and politically... for the glory of god... and anybody that opposes those aims is, of course, working directly for (or deceived by) Satan.

This is the real story... and it is a BIG story... bigger than Watergate... bigger than global warming itself... real ‘Woodward and Bernstein’ stuff. It needs to be told... and these crazies need to be exposed... and stopped.

Don’t take my word for this... it is relatively easy to research. The best place to start would be in investigating ‘dominionism’... ‘theonomy’... ‘Christian reconstructionism’. Here are a few good places to start:

http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/DirectoryRiseOfDominionismInAmerica.html

http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/nrms/ChRecon.html

Here is an excerpt from the first link:

“Dominionists, are attempting to peacefully convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order.”

This endeavor has been underway for some years now, and guess what? It's working. In 2004, 'dominionist' congressmen made their first move, introducing the "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" (HR 3799 IH). The following proposed law will be added to Sec. 1260 of Title 28, Chapter 81 of the U.S. Code: “Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an element of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official personal capacity), by reason of that element’s or officer’s acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.”
 
Implications: Because the judiciary is 'an element' of the federal, state and local governments, this wording, if it becomes law, may allow any judge to institute biblical punishments without being subject to review by the Supreme Court or the federal court system.

“Anyone who cares about the fate of civilization would do well to recognize that the combination of great power and great stupidity is simply terrifying, even to one’s friends.” ~ Sam Harris

“The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive.” ~ Sam Harris, 'Letter to a Christian Nation'
