Religion of course is what it's about. It seems that plastic supermarket bags cause Global Warming and that causes homosexuality, sex outside marriage, promiscuity, and abortion. AIDS is God'- punishment of the sacrilegious. <The letter argued that evangelicals are divided on whether climate change is a real problem, and it said that "Cizik and others are using the global warming controversy to shift the emphasis away from the great moral issues of our time," such as abortion and same-sex marriage. > I forgot to mention the other purpose of religions is the priest gets to pick girls to inseminate in the seminary [or boys in the Catholic church]. <your daughter's Global Warming religious studies are like other religious studies, shroud waving, priests, faith and pay the money to the priesthood. > Tell your daughter to watch out for untoward moves! It's all about the power, the money and the girls. That's why there are so many brands of religion.

Weyrich, sent the board a letter this month denouncing the association's vice president, the Rev. Richard Cizik, for urging attention to global warming. > They won't like the competing religion of Global Warming. They are aiming to make it part of their religion. It's annoying to have all those Greenhouse Effect superstuds getting the girls, money and flash travel to first class hotels to harass the proletariat about cutting down their carbon consumption.
