The Daily Mail reported:
Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.
The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.
The German-born Pontiff said that while some concerns may be valid it was vital that the international community based its policies on science rather than the dogma of the environmentalist movement.
WAIT JUST ONE SECOND. . . . ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS?
Well, folks. . .it’s been a long time. Just leave it to the Pope to get my panties all in a bunch!
After hearing this, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The first thing that strikes me as amazingly ironic is, that the Catholic religion wrote the book on “scare-mongering!” Pope, don’t you know when you point one finger, there is three pointing back??
Then of course secondly, and probably the most ironic is, he wants us to base everything on hard science! The Pope! A religion that is faith based would like the international community to make sure they have hard proof the environment is in trouble! Are you sure we can’t rely on a gut feeling?? Maybe? No!? Why not??
Does anyone else feel uneasy about the Pope using words like: science, dogma, and ideology in the same breath?
It may just be me. I may be crazy! But, I thought one of the greatest proofs of God’s existence was the “environment.” From the swamps to the mountains and everything in-between, everything below, and above!
Every day the rain forest and amazon are in more trouble and with that, unknown amounts of species of plants, and animals. Every day more pollution goes into our air, our rivers, lakes, and oceans. Every day children starve around the world. That is the most sad of all. However, that brings up a crisis even more dire. . . the human crisis.
It just makes me very suspicious. . . WHO’S POCKET ARE YOU IN POPE BENEDICT?
Well, that’s it for my ramble quotient for the day. Just wanted to give a shout out to everyone! Hope all is well! (I am doing fabulous… I actually just bought a Toyota Prius…(or maybe I will call it my Toyota Pious from now on!) 50 mpg!)
Oh wait, one more thing!
Revelation 9:4
“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;”
TAKE THAT POPE!!
