Watching bill Maher when he stated some religious people pay no mind to climate and human activities effect because God will take care of these matters. Then a close friend of mine, stated this very belief. Wow! It's time I become more active. I have moved beyond the need for superstition and myth, and now have a personal relationship with reality and evidence!,
Just rape the planet in pursuit of greed and Republican Jesus will fix everything. Why should humans ever be accountable for their actions when god will always rescue them? I loathe the hypocrisy of telling the LGBTQ community how their lifestyles are sinful, but are perfectly fine with oil pipelines and fracking wells near schools. Is it not sinful to place a higher value on profit than on human life? Is it not sinful to take healthcare away from children so billionaires can have a tax cut?
That is the mind set of people I know and most of my family members . I just wish they would leave it all in their god's hands and not vote. Ironically, they think god needs their votes but not their efforts to preserve the planet of which he supposedly made them stewards.
Sounds like we have similar relatives. Some of my former family members are wanting a nuclear war in order to bring Jesus back.
Back to my freind who disregards human activities toxic effect on the planet. Abortion was another subject. My freind is adamantly against abortion which I have no problem with but I tried to discuss the importance of keeping are planet viable for future generations, but still no clarity could I find in her mind!....be fruitful and multiply! Just don't drink the water or breathe!
Fine, don't allow abortions or birth control, Is she going to help raise these children. I don't think so.
I know one fellow who has all his guns stockpiled for the big ending. He's going to prevail, and kill all the godless liberals. You know, if you don't believe in god, surely you have to be a liberal. If you don't love Trump, surely you are in bed with the devil himself (Hilary Clinton). All that news on the environment and stuff...fake!!! I live in a dangerous place, because there are a lot of others like him here. So I'm a single successful woman, living in Trumpland....and I'm a little scared.
The funny part is that even the Jesus fairy tale shows how LIBERAL he was. Religious folks are always challenged by logic.
If i had to live like that I would have to move, nightmare
@vnufall . I have everything in place to move. I have one more year until my son graduates, and is off to college. He has been offered early admission to Clarkson College, but wants to play soccer and graduate with his friends. Sadly enough, my house is the place where all the kids come to discuss politics and religion freely. As much as they like to call them snowflakes, and bully them, these kids are so bright and so aware of what's really up in this country. They are our future. 3 of them, including my son, have been chosen to attend "the state of the state" in Albany NY. They are my ray of hope in the middle of "deliverance" land.
Scary isn't it.
Yes, it amazes me how otherwise intelligent people can be so distorted in there thought process, when it comes to political and religious subjects. Nobody have me a hard time when I came to the conclusion that Santa was not the one putting gifts under the tree. Totally different response when I concluded that the bible and other religious txt were strictly human doctrine!
There is no magical entity named god. If you can't hear it,see it, taste it or touch it-it is not real. Love Bill Maher.
