LYNCHBURG, Va. The Reverend Jerry Falwell says global warming is "Satan's attempt to redirect the church's primary focus" from evangelism to environmentalism.
But he said some "naive Christian leaders" are being "duped" by arguments like those presented in former Vice President Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth. Falwell says the documentary should have been titled "A Convenient Untruth."
Falwell said the Bible teaches that God will maintain the Earth until Jesus returns, so Christians should be responsible environmentalists, but not what he calls ... quote ... "first-class nuts."

The Bible tells you to take care of the earth too. But that's just a little too, uh, inconvenient for you, isn't it?

You know, I can almost understand denying global warming. The idea that our earth will soon be uninhabitable, and that we're causing it is almost enough to make me want to stick my head in the sand myself.
Christian anti-intellectualism was one thing, they really wern't hurting anyone but themselves and were actually helping out the rest of us by making themselves less and less competitive in the job market. Sixty-fucking-three. Do you think they give a fuck if the environment collapses in thirty years?
You are selling your children's future in the name of blind stupidity.

global warming is still in debate though. many people are saying it's us and how we need to cut back, many people say the planet is changing and we cannot stop it (kinda like a 'heat age'). the only difference is that they're trying to back up their claims with science and facts. you're just a fucking retard. i love how fundies know they're right.
Read your own book, asshole.over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Whatever is a convenient "truth" to you, eh bub?
Is this the same Jerry Falwell that said America deserved what happened to it on 9/11, and blamed it on feminists, gays, abortionists and the ACLU?two rabid, slavering, ignorant nutcases called Jerry Falwell out there?
That's it, i give up. I'm going to get a decent suit, a shitty haircut, and some jowels, and I'm gonna make it big as a televangelist. Screw ethics- if you can't beat these souless fuckers, I say join 'em. I can say whatever crazy shitball thing i want to, and so long as it's tied to Jesus or Satan, people will send me money. Screw everyone, I'm gonna be a millionaire!
