How did Global Warming become a Christian issue?

[sigmapi1501]

I get it. Gays are evil and abortion makes the baby Jesus cry. But now global warming is a myth created by the devil? Really? Really?

Do you Christians think you are running out of ways to look crazy?  We still think it is funny that you think Jesus is coming back and that God is everywhere and all that. Stick to that.  And also "it's not Adam and Eve, it's Adam and Steve."  GOLD! We still think you are crazy, don't worry.  I mean you still have the "God put Dinosaur bones in the ground to test our faith" card to play.

Hahaha, brilliant!   

Christians don't care about global warming even if it is true because, you know, they're going to evaporate into the sky someday soon.  And as the famous bumper sticker says, I can't wait because then we'll have the earth to ourselves.

Way to prove their point.....   

That aside, where do you hear that Global Warming is a devil thing??  I haven't heard that one before....

[queenofnines]

Who cares, get over it! People believe what they want.

Which would be fine if ya'll could keep it to yourselves and out of our policies and government.  But you can't.  Thus, the need to speak out against such craziness.

so spend less time making fun of christians and spend more time with loved ones because the time left is ticking.....

Tick, Tick, Tick wanna waste another minute of your precious time bashing God?

Way to be a troll.  How about get off your *bleep* and do something about global warming if you care about our future generations?

Religions such as Islam pose an even greater threat than global warming does.  We can always enforce laws about waste and the number of children you're allowed to have, invent greener technologies, etc. to cope with global warming (or your mentioned asteroid)...but we're kind of f*cked if some nut job religious terrorist gets a hold of nuclear weapons and wipes humanity out because they think god wants them to "kill the infidels".  Do you really want me to stop speaking out against religion now?

We have an asteroid that may hit on Friday the 13th )april 2029.

And what does this say about your god the fact that we can predict something like this?  God's responsible for it, right?  What possible message is he trying to send us 19 years in advance??

The fact that we have the scientific technology to track and predict natural events shows there is no god who is specifically hurling asteroids at us or creating hurricanes to wipe out gay people (yay!).  These are just natural consequences of living on Earth; they happen in all parts of the world at all times but NEVER for any reason but a natural one.  The fact that we can often evacuate in time to beat a natural disaster really foils any god plan.

If that's the best scheme the devil can come up with, we're all saved.

Again, do some friggin actual research before you run your mouth! According to NASA and every other scientific organization across the world, Asteroid 2004 MN4 will come scarily close to Earth on April 13, 2029, but it will not hit. Isn't it just so typical that the only groups predicting this hit and the 'end of the world' are religious fanatics?! I try, every day, to cut some slack to believers, but then read ignorant things like this, which cannot be backed up, and that slack goes out the window.

Now, marieelissa, I see you have a banner up about the coming of Christmas. Again, funny thing, but nearly 100% of religious scholars, NOT atheists agree that Christ was not born on December 25th.

Your mantra "I know what I know, I am who I am" is comical because you really know so very little and who you are seems to change with the winds.

[queenofnines]

Well if you are atheist then you need to quit wasting your time even thinking about GOD because we all know we could die any time! How bout you shut your mouth because you don't know what I do and don't do...like you know me or something.

Geez, you sound threatened...I do know what you know, a.k.a. the delusional mindset, because I've been there.  You, however, do no know what I know because you won't allow yourself to ever escape said delusional mindset.

Fighting against something that is not true is a very good thing indeed.  And no, I'm not going to give it up while there are still *bleep* hats who stand on the side of the road with signs like, "God hates our troops", "God hates America", "God hates fags", etc.  I'm not going to give it up while there are still parents who let their children die because they prayed for them to be healed rather than taking them to a doctor.  I'm not going to give it up while there are still crazies who drive their 5 kids into a lake and drown them so that they can go to heaven.  I'm not going to give it up while there are still homosexuals who are being murdered and gay kids committing suicide.  Etc. to infinity.  These are all real examples from YOUR religion, not Islam, btw.

Debate and discussion is good for one's brain...another reason to "waste my time" on god.

[queenofnines]

you were just so easily convinced by the Devil there is no God it's almost funny, poor thing...Satan that was probably easy huh?[/color]

You're seriously going to play the card of if a person uses their brain it's from the devil??  On that note:

My husband has an amazing product to sell you.  It's called a Rockular Phone.  Using our company's magic rocks you'll be able to make calls to anyone anywhere in the world free for life.  The price is $700, but just think of all the cell phone bills you'll save, so you'll quickly get a return on your investment!!!  ***As an added bonus***, the Rockular Phone doubles as a stoning device for homosexuals, unruly children, adulterers, and anyone who doesn't believe in the power of your Rockular Phone (THEY'RE FROM THE DEVIL!).

The Rockular Phone: Don't just stone scores of people like the Bible commands*, make a fashion statement while doing it!

Now, marieelissa, I see you have a banner up about the coming of Christmas. Again, funny thing, but nearly 100% of religious scholars, NOT atheists agree that Christ was not born on December 25th.

Oh yeah, any Christian who celebrates Christmas is a hypocrite!!  The vast majority of those seasonal traditions you hold dear have purely pagan origins, which god hates!  The date of December 25th itself was stolen from the pagans, as was the phallic fertility symbol, the Christmas tree.  God himself blatantly commands people NOT to decorate trees like the pagans do...

"Do not learn the ways of the nations
       or be terrified by signs in the sky,
       though the nations are terrified by them.

 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless;
       they cut a tree out of the forest,
       and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.

 4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
       they fasten it with hammer and nails
       so it will not totter."

-- Jeremiah 10:2-4

"Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen!  To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!  The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.  Think about it!  Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry?  Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves?  Can we obey through disobedience?" ~ Last Trumpet Ministries

If we're reincarnated, you could be reborn into a Christian family.  Oh the possibilities.

This is too funny! Not only is this the weakest example of sound research process, it is also absurd in its very notion. Hats off to an absurd post!

They allowed pagans to keep some traditions when they realized they couldn't kill them all off and instead started converting them.  A lot of pagan things were then incorporated into the celebration of Christian holidays, like Christmas and Easter.  My thought: God has much bigger fish to fry.

Well for the record I am not a Christian and I do not celebrate Christmas.  I wasn't trying to give a sound research process, I was just pulling up a quick example against Christmas.  The fact that the holiday was stolen from the pagans for the sole reason of converting people says nothing to you??  I can understand "allowing the pagans to keep their traditions" when the whole Christmas celebration was first getting started, but now that it has done its job of becoming a widespread yearly phenomena, isn't it kind of hypocritical to continue to partake in the customs of a "false religion"?

As for Sheryl's article about why Xtians celebrating Christmas is okay, I found it to be full of weak excuses.  Let's face it, the average Christian does not look forward to December 25th for the church mass or Bible stories.  They look forward to it for the same reasons the secularists do - the lights, the decorating, the food, the songs, PRESENTS, family and friends - all of which have nothing to do with god.  So quit lying to yourselves.  

In any event, this thread is getting off-topic.
