Religion

As weird as this sounds.... There are some religious folk out there, who actually welcome the destruction of the environment. As hard as that might be to believe, some people are ok about it. They say it is “inevitable” and must happen to fulfill Biblical Prophecy (especially as in the Book of Revelation). The world will see a third of the trees die; a third of the rivers become unusable; a third of all fish life destroyed… and more. It is all written in the good book (the word “good” suddenly seems quite inappropriate!). So they say.

It had to happen. The extreme right of the Christian faith has decided to attribute the tragic bush fires in Victoria to the wrath of God punishing us for the decriminalization of abortion legislation that was passed last year. Here is a news report from the Brisbane Times.
