Oh? Have you heard some news of which I'm unaware?
I'm reasonably sure that this has been discussed on the list, but here's
(http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2004/10/27/scherer-christian/) an
article that discusses the topic.
Mm. But that's not on par with literally being eco-terrorists with an anti-preservation agenda...
OK, so maybe the term "eco-terrorists" is a bit over the top. Nonetheless, I
boggle at the fact that there are self-proclaimed Bible-loving Christians in
positions of power whose interpretation of the Scripture is so out of bounds
that it threatens not only life on Earth, but makes it possible -- even likely
-- that millions will relegate their beloved book to the same pile that holds
the gods of Olympus.
It's as if they are saying "We have to destroy our faith in order to save you."
