Which sort of Christian? You say it like it means one thing. The truth is Christians come in so many denominations that believe such different things, that your statement just can’t apply to them all. Anyway from the multi-denominational mega churches to the ultra conservative rolling on the floor and speaking in tongues (or holy rollers) denominations you’ll find believers in the church of Al Gore. Although you’ll find the vast majority of his believers coming from the church of Atheism.
No, my statement was to wonder why these atheists would take a political issue, like global warming, and turn it in to a religion. How they can turn off their so called critical minds, require no proof, and rely on faith alone that it’s all true. Seems like quite a leap to me.
Quote: Seeing as christians believe in the end of the world being in prophecy the idea that human kind could affect something as profound as the climate as blasphemy.
How can believing in prophecy from the bible be any worse than believing in Nostradamus or Astrology or palm reading? Many Christians believe the end of times will be nothing more than a great change brought to the world and that it will go on from there, changed forever. That change or destruction can be and is interpreted as coming from any numbers of sources, from asteroid collision to drastic climate change to nuclear war.
