We have reached a creepy time in our civilization. Socialism has led to secularism and the absence of a religion is driving people nuts. The dark secret is that God does not need religion, Man does. Without God, there is no controlling moral authority. Atheism’s pretensions toward logic overlook the disturbing conclusion that if we are just clumps of chemicals haphazardly assembled through trial and error over time through evolution, then we are not our brother’s keeper. Kill. Rape. Steal. Lie. Cheat. For there is no God under that system, and no reason not to.
Societies need religion. But because all the past religions, like every other endeavor of mankind, were imperfect, the pseudo-intellectuals reject them all. They see salvation only through a new religion. Jane Fonda once embraced Jonestown. Oops.
Call it Gaia, but it is the same caveman reading the entrails of some animal to predict tomorrow. There is the same loony sacrifice to try to sway the gods to spare us. Offered up are SUVs (never pickups) and incandescent lamps and turning off the Eiffel Tower for a few moments. Divinity School dropout Gore makes a perfect leader.
You can't argue against environmentalism with facts, because environmentalists don't care if it really does any good or not. The purpose of environmentalism is not to change the environment, but to demonstrate and perfect the righteousness of its followers. It's the new, more perfect religion, endorsed by the elite, and it creates an excuse to do all kinds of crazy crap. That would be fine if it was any other fad like CB radios or the Equal Rights Amendment. Unfortunately, politicians have caught on:
I saw Barbara Boxer on the "Larry King Show." She said the debate is over. That statement of finality is more harmful than all the emissions from all the SUVs ever built. The politicians are using this to expand their power. This is the Patriot Act on steroids.
