And on the eighth day, God created jackasses. People like this are why religion scares me. The fundamentalist Christian and Evangelical movements have high-jacked the Republican party, and their ideals have infiltrated our government and its policies. He is using bible verses as a reason to not have to worry about climate change and environmental impacts of our actions, and most Repub's follow this line. Since God 'decides' when and how our world will end, it's okay to pollute, dig up, and lay bare our planet, since it'll all be destroyed eventually anyway. This attitude infuriates me and should infuriate any other reasonable creature.It is NOT okay to just throw environmental concern out the window just because you think some invisible man is going to come down and scoop your righteous ass up onto his shoulder and then lay everything else to waste. And the religious nutjobs aren't the only reason they do this. They are pandering to their corporate and CEO buddies, making sure they don't need to environmentally responsible and can pad each others pockets with bills of a monetary and big-business protection kind.
I'm more afraid of what people like this can and will do to our country than I ever have been or will be about any boogey-man terrorist/dictator/communist threat. These people can immediately affect our lives through legislation like this. As mush I feel sorry for coal miners losing their jobs, we need to stop raping the earth to completely dry up our limited coal and oil reserves so greedy oilmen, speculators and refining companies can make a few dozen more billion dollars. I truly despise this douchebag and all of his ilk.
