Now? Now?
I grew up with evangelicals who were enraged at the blasphemous insult that God did not control the Earth absolutely, and therefore the earth couldn't be getting hotter unless God decided it was time for judgement day, in which case, celebrate, because those jews are finally getting what's coming to them.
This sounds like mental illness to normal people...
I grew up with evangelicals who believed it was blasphemous to say the icecaps are melting because God promised to never flood the Earth again lol
good looks at current state of humanity "Well, looks like I changed my mind"
But it was a pinky swear!!! /s
Did you ever ask them about nuclear bombs and we could wipe out all life except cockroaches several times over and make the earth uninhabitable for 10000 years or did this not count?

America is God's vessel.
Seriously, that's what "Under God" meant to them.
Yeah, "under god" was not added to currency or the pledge until 1954, in response to the civil rights movement of the era. The founding fathers would have be rolling in their grave if they could.
That's their entire Middle East policy, fulfilling the end times prophecies
If Jesus came back without all the jews penned in Israel so he could nuke them all at once, how can Christianity live with itself?
I came here to comment this. It's always been a culture war, beyond religious views, it's never been popular with the majority to say that our largest industries and companies are willfully ignoring and hiding the truth about what is in humanity's best interests in order to achieve growth.
I don't get this line of reason I ng, cause wasn't earth given to the humans by God to be the caretakers of the planet? If so, were doing a pretty shitty job of it.
Evangelicals rewrite the Bible in places where convenient.
God didn't give the earth to humans for caretaking, he gave it to us, and no man can undo what God hath wrought, so even if it is ruined somehow, God will rapture the faithful to a new realm leaving the damned to burn on earth for eternity as the new purgatory/hell.
Its muddled, but the point is it means evangelicals win no matter what, so don't worry about it.
I'm pretty sure it is mental illness....
We're not allowed to say that, or they might lose control and get violent because you incited them.
Now? Now as in the last 50+ years?
It wasn't fully polarized by party until around 2009, when the fossil fuels industry decided to buy off the Repiblicans in response to an attempt to pass cap and trade legislation.
"They're only 14 years behind the times, not 50."
As someone who grew up on the early 00s, this is inaccurate. It was fully polarized during the Bush years.
alway has been
No it's a capitalist issue. The biggest problem by far is corporations. Anything distracting from that fact is propaganda as far as I'm concerned.
Slow news day?
FYI The Sky is now blue.
Literally always has been...
Shocking, US in another war
Now? Ad nauseum.
I think we might be doomed.
If it's a culture issue, then let's frame it as "capitalist culture vs save the planet culture."
Gonna spam this in 3 different places?
this is an opinion piece.
