M. T. Cross Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 .....The fact that you specifically target "christianity" as the witchhunter demonstrates who's really doing the witchhunting here.... Christianity is not or has not ever been involved in witchhunting???? Surely you jest!!! History, history...history.... Not sure if that was aimed at my witch hunt comment or not. If so let me carify. I don't think Christianity as a whole is witch hunting. But when I see these videos and some of the comments in this thread denouncing the enviromental actions because of pagan involvement - I call that witch hunting. Quote

Then you won’t have any problem when the Earth decides it wants an abortion… UN document would give ‘Mother Earth’ same rights as humans By Steven Edwards, Postmedia News UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving “Mother Earth” the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country. The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to “dominate and exploit” — to the point that the “well-being and existence of many beings” is now threatened. The UN debate begins two days before the UN’s recognition April 22 of the second International Mother Earth Day — another Morales-led initiative. Canadian activist Maude Barlow is among global environmentalists backing the drive with a book the group will launch in New York during the UN debate: Nature Has Rights."

olger Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Let me begin tying this all together. Pope Benedict has a nickname throughout Europe. Know what it is? The Green Pope. Look it up. "The pope and his predecessor John Paul have put the Vatican firmly on an environmentalist footing. Last month, in a message sent to heads of state and international organisations, the pope called on rich nations to acknowledge responsibility for the environmental crisis and to shed consumerism." "Pope urges workers' voices be heard, unions adapt to global economy By Chaz Muth Catholic News Service WASHINGTON (CNS) -- When Pope Benedict XVI released his third encyclical -- "Caritas in Veritate" ("Charity in Truth") -- he stressed that the voice of workers must be heard as heads of state, industry moguls, labor union leaders and environmentalists develop long-term solutions for the ailing global economy. The pope's encyclical -- released in early July -- re-emphasizes the Catholic Church's continuing support of workers associations going back to Pope Leo XIII's encyclical, "Rerum Novarum," in 1891, but it also challenges labor union leaders to adapt to a growing global economy to remain relevant. According to John Carr, executive director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the pope's encyclical says a healthy economy depends on workers who earn a sustainable wage, receive reliable health benefits and have a safe environment in which to perform their jobs. "Pope Benedict, like earlier popes, thinks labor unions are a big part of the solution," Carr told Catholic News Service. The Pope recently told the EU (European Union) that workers should take a day off to save money, and to let the planet heal. Guess which day he was thinking of ?????????? WAKE UP WAKE UP Wake up.

Christianity is not or has not ever been involved in witchhunting???? Surely you jest!!! History, history...history.... Excuse me? How exactly does a historical witchhunt of the 16th or 17th century connect with my use of the word "here" (as in this particular discussion)? And if there's simply no evidence of a "religious" aspect to many promoting the green movement then why not address that instead of automatically turning any discussion into an opportunity to bash Christianity?

Guess which day he was thinking of ????????? Uh, Saturday? Speaking of which,it should be plain to every thinking SDA that the ultimate solution to any long range environmental solution should be the keeping of the Sabbath and God's environmental protection plan which involved the Sabbath rest for all every 7 and 50 years.Think about the global ramifications of cooperation with these principles!If it worked for Israel it should work for everyone.
