Christian Right and Global Warming Debate


Many of the top Christian TV Evangelists have joined the Global Warming Fear Motif. Some have asked what do the Christian Right TV Evangelists have to gain by doing this? Well some say they will have more access to the major media news outlets. Previously they could only get on TV with pro-Conservative news shows. By joining the environmental, Al Gore Global Warming debate they can have it all.
One would suppose the Christian Right has nothing to gain, except appeasement due to the fact that the Global Warming Scare has now gone from a trend to a movement. Like the Catholic Church had done thru the ages, it is therefore expanding its base and keeping control of defection and attrition of its membership by shifting its focus to include more socialistic viewpoints.
The Global Warming Fear was adopted as you recall by the Democrats and Socialists; and the Christian Right is now allowing itself to find middle ground and the ratchet towards the over all trend moves to center only to find the new center further left, which will move once again sometime in the near future. It is how things go in history.
Since I am not of any religion, I just watch and observe it all. The Christians have a lot to gain by adopting yet another fear such as Global Warming because Fear of Hell, well no one believes in that anymore. So, fear of the future and evoking the Maslow's hierarchy of needs; self-preservation is pretty high up there.
The Global Warming Fear is also able to use over played video of Natural Disasters like Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Ice Storms, Heat Waves, Wild Fires, Parched Earth Droughts too. Actually it really is even a Bigger Fear than Y2K, or Russian Nuclear Threats. It is right up their with the Fear of Speaking German and NAZIs taking over the world.
One would suppose next will be Fear of Space Wars with China, Terrorism with Nuclear Weapons, Computer Network Melt Downs and this Global Warming things is a real hoot I tell you. Long live the Global Warming Fear God. I hope this article makes you think n 2007.
