Frank, if it doesn't shake you up to badly, I am with you on this one!

Ha ha ha! Nope, I may get super ****ed off at the American right, but when
hasn't political debate been a nasty business? What the hell, eh? This
*is* usenet, after all :-)

Stewardship is the key, and in fact I believe there will be a day of
reckoning for all those who claim to be Christians and were poor
stewards. The Scriptures say that we who claim a greater understanding,
will be held to a greater responsibility. Now that is not an excuse for
staying ignorant, but those who may be proposing to hurry the Lord's
return by trashing the environment, may not be so happy when He starts
asking them to give account.

I completely agree with you. I've always thought that certain individuals
on this earth who claim to be about the Lord's business may suddenly
discover that they're in fact opposing it; Christian, Moslem, Jewish, or
otherwise. And making that discovery when they're standing before their
maker won't be pleasant.

Now I would also have to say that I have never heard any of the
Christians I know propose trashing the environment, though I can also
understand that there could be some that would. There are definitely
some wackos out here who make some pretty bizarre claims. However the
solution is not to lump all Christian fundementalist into one big pile.
There are many various flavors, though the lions aren't to
discriminating. TnT


Agree again. I know a few fundamentalist-types who are very deeply involved
in environmental protection. With the current conservative politics of
America, Christians in the United States feel (and are) politically
empowered. Unfortunately, this gives the lunatic fringe types a louder
voice, along with those who have more moderate opinions.
