When i opened the new york times this morning and saw a full-page ad with the headline, “Our commitment to Jesus Christ compels us to solve the global warming crisis” my first reaction was that perhaps the christian-right had finally gotten behind an issue that i can agree with.
how great would that be? it seems that for the first time in quite a few years, i can agree with the two dozen or so evangelical leaders who signed their names in support of “the evangelical climate initiative“.
that was until i got to about the third paragraph. [clears throat for emphasis]
“therefore, with the same love of god and neighbor that compels us to preach salvation through jesus christ, protect unborn life, preserve the family and the sanctity of marriage…we the undersigned evangelical leaders resolve to come together…to stop global warming.”
oh son of a bitch! you guys had me at hello! i was totally buying your genuine concern for the environment! why did you have to go shooting your mouth off about abortion and gay marriage? what does that have to do with your initiatives to stop global warming?
so now i’m back to where i started this morning, pissed off at the religious-right and wondering what is it about boys kissing that worries these people so much?
