You say:

"Living in Harmony With Life is Christian Virtue."

What a presumptuous pile of crap. Living in harmony with life predates any christian value by a hundred thousand years. Your cheap propaganda is offensive to all thinking human beings.

Thank you.

Scratching their heads in disbelief and judgement? You'll know a tree by its fruits, and at the moment its very fruity in the Episcopalian church. When it comes to truth, truth doesn't change with the polls. If one goes with the current "enlightenment" flow, why bother with church? At least the atheists are being honest.

Bishop Spong, Understood, and I agree whole-heartedly. Demoninations and Faiths may look at the Episcopal Church scratching their heads in disbelief and judgement. They have no idea what sacrifices and efforts were made to evolve the main body of Episcopal Faith towards this modern enlightenment. Problems that arise from our brain stem drives must be intercepted and dealt with early on while our higher centers still have access. Once the midbrain is made up, good luck on intercepting the impulse from upstream. Good Bless you and yours. I am Blessed to be a member of your faith. Lost, hurt, and very angry I could have been had it not been for my adoptive parents and their faith, family, and friends. Amen.

I don't think that "religion" is trying to take "credit" for living in harmony with nature. These are religious panelists who are simply reiterating what their believers should already know and practice.

Personally, I think this topic is pointless. You would be hard pressed to find many people of Christian faith who don't believe that they have a responsibility to the planet and the environment.

There is NOT evidence to state that global warming is caused by humans or industrialized nations. Period.

"Couldn't we just say living in harmony with life is a human value?"

Good point, E Favorite. Just as no religion has a monopoly on morality, no religion has a monopoly on living in harmony with life.

Still, I deeply appreciate Sprong's contribution, especially the second paragraph of the article. It's great to hear a Christian commentator whose attitudes on the environment are far removed from Cal Thomas' pro-apocalypse ramblings.

Couldn't we just say living in harmony with life is a human value?

Do we have to credit any religion?

I see this as a bandwagon issue. Hard to imagine any religion saying the environment is not important -- even if they think that, because the rapture is coming.

Too, too politically incorrect.
