Good to see you back in the blogsphere, Peter! Looking forward to insightful posts. God bless your mission and ministry on the web.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I am concerned about our summer being yet another pointer to climate change - but I'm not as quick to point the finger at atheists. Christians, especially those who can't be bothered with this planet because they are so certain Jesus will return soon, and/or who have a particular reading of Genesis texts, are, IMO, equally, and often more responsible for the human contribution to climate change than secular atheists.

Hi Bosco
ReplyDeleteI did not mean to point the finger at atheists per se re climate change denial which is an "equal opportunity" phenomenon between atheists and theists!
And, of course, there are theists who deny that hell exists!
There are also, Peter, amongst us, those theists who think that Hell might already be experienced here on earth! We may not have to wait till death for the experience!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blogosphere! Agape!
Peter, this heart was 'strangely moved' by your last link on this post. While staunchly Anglo-Catholic, I am also 'pentecostal enough to believe that our hearts can be stirred by the likes of this so obviously heart-felt musical tribute to God's Little Poor Ones. I hope everyone looking in today will click on this excellent link! Agape.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Father Ron:
ReplyDeleteThe sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise - Psalm 51:17
Lord, break our hearts for what breaks yours.
Welcome back Peter+
Bosco, you appear to be assuming that climate change is human influenced.
ReplyDeleteSome of do not accept that, not because of any theological position, but because we are rational creatures, i.e. we think there is plenty of reason to believe otherwise.
Yes, MichaelA, it makes perfect sense to me that people who write sentences like, “Some of do not accept that…” do not accept that.

Hi Bosco, I think you may have stopped reading my post after "some of [us] do not accept that", and missed the bit about reasons.
ReplyDeleteI will explain again: I took issue with your assumption that Christians who disagree with the idea of Human-Influenced Climate Change do so on the basis of theology. Therefore I pointed out to you that there are some of us (many I suspect) who don't accept that climate change is human induced, because we consider that idea to be irrational and unscientific. We consider that climate change happens all the time, and that what has been observed in recent decades is fairly mild compared to what has happened over e.g. the last 800 years, and it has nothing to do with human activity.
