The Archbishop of Cantebury is a douche. Saying this makes him even more of a douche in my opinion.

"God will not intervene to prevent humanity from wreaking disastrous damage to the environment, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned."

Haha. Way to reinforce the unprovable...  :raised:

Well god knows everything and he has a plan so ofcourse he's not going to change it unless it's not perfect.

To which I reply: "Neither will Don Quijote de la Mancha!" I guess this is the Arch Bishop's way of avoiding the inevitable tilting at windmills.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

Well, the environment and global warming are important issues to me, so I am happy some religious are thinking about it, at any rate......

The environment yes, global warming no. I'm still not convinced that global warming isn't one big hoax, but I do agree with environmentalists that we must clean up the mess that we make. Here in Europe, global warming is used too much as an excuse to raise taxes, which are not used to fight pollution but to fight the government's huge budget deficits. Most likely my environment tax Euro's will now end up in the pockets of the German automobile industry as part of the government's plan to help them to survive the financial crisis. No wonder that the people here are now very wary about global warming evangelists, who are backed up by a hypocritical government.

So I take it the German auto industry won't be using those tax dollars for the creation of more environmentally friendly engineered autos?

We have the same issue except apparently we are pumping billions of TART money at industries with absolutely no regulations on how it's used.  Very very sad.  I'd be much more than happy and eager to pay more tax if it were actually going towards the progress of us being less reliant on oil energy.  Instead we are paying less tax and going negative to pay executive bonuses?  :hmm:

Takes the wind out of touting about global warming.  Maybe with the theists acknowledging that it's up to us we at least won't have to worry about them sitting around waiting for god to intervene....that's as much silver lining I can muster.

I have no idea what the sub titles in this video are all about, though.

I saw this a while ago and it seemed convincing at the tiime

The only problem though is that the guy (he looks like clark kent does he not?
 :blink:) admits in his video information panel that he discovered later that his argument in that video has

You have to love self fullfilling prophesies roflmao. "Hear me noble Christian masses! Your benevolent god, who has up to this point has done jack shit to reward your faithfull worship, will continue to do absolutely nothing to help you in any rationally concievable way. Thank for your time. PLEASE PUT A DOLLER IN THE BUCKET AMEN!" Rofl I'm gonna get crucified by an angry mob before this life ends lol. In all seriousness, what good is praying to a god who doesn't answer? Christians will jump up and say, "God works in mysterious ways." Very mysterious indeed. There is absolutely so perceiveable impact made on this earth by any sort of diety. Yet they pray on and will likely continue to do so millenia from now despite our attempts to reason with them. Its surreal. Kind of like we've timetraveled in to a past filled with superstitious primitives.

Old, but anyway.

I love the way we are told not to expect god's help Re the enviroment, ( ie, where it would produce a measurable, observable effect), but whenever we have a tough time in life, "God will give you the strength to get through it". Funny how he helps, in ways that makes it look like nothing was done at all.

Also Rowan is a bit of a wet noodle in my book, I would much prefer a fire and brimstone type of guy as the arch bishop.

Haha, definitely. It would spice things up, for sure.
