Christian Attacks Environmentalism: Destroys Irony Metre

http://www.rightsidenews.com/201004199638/editorial/the-high-holy-day-of-the-environmental-religion.html

I have argued that at times environmentalism feels like the new religion though I try to base that on the fanaticism apparent in some of the more extreme factions of the environmental movement, unlike the following article:

“Though touted as, somehow, NEW, worship of the earth is likely the oldest religion on earth. Born of child-like ignorance, it has survived centuries and is, once again, robust and thriving among those people of earth who have lost their way and have reclaimed this form of paganism at the risk of their eternal souls.

I must tell you, I question whether one who subscribes to the Christian faith can take part in a pagan rite without committing sin. The Earth Day celebration is, in my opinion, a pagan rite. Celebrants of paganism can only be in league with the forces of evil.

But here we are, this week, celebrating the annual, global, orgasmic, daisy chain of paganism -- Earth Day.

Paganism will be on display over the next several days. It is reminiscent of the days before civilization took root and the human animal began its assent from the caves and mud huts.”

Note the mention of “Christian faith”. I’ll wait for you to repair your irony metre. Have you fixed it? Ok, now read this:

“Our forsaking the worship of "the creator" in favor of the worship of "the created" is a cycle as old as man himself. And once again, we have circled back to the religion of our caveman ancestors.”

I apologize for causing the destruction of the irony metre once again.
