Here's What We Have to Fight Against

Good gravy. I thought that I had seen the worst of the "Christian" political movement with the passing of pro-bigotry reforms in eleven states (including Ohio), but apparently I was wrong: even the environmental movement isn't safe from the "reforms" of the Religious Right-Wing agenda. And that scares me even more than the bigotry.

This seems to indicate that not only are religious right-wingers (I refuse to call these people Conservative Christians, as they are neither Conservative nor Christian) against issues of social justice, but that they are attempting to HASTEN the environmental downfall of the world. How is it that lunatics like these are able to gain access to political power? What exactly is the world doing wrong that this outlook is popular?

All you have to do is step outside and look at a sunset. Or gaze over the majestic views of the Appalachians. Or examine the world within one of our national parks. Or simply sit outside, far away from the world of cars, fax machines, stock options, and television, and close your eyes, and listen to the world around you. And you'll quickly understand why this world is worth saving.

Most people stop believing in fairy tales when Santa Claus becomes a story. Why is it that religious right-wingers can't do so?
