Christians should reflect on their own behavior before attempt to lecture others about their actions when it comes to Global Warming. |
So should you and Al Gore!

How many basically empty churches are there in your town that heat, and cool untold cubic feet of indoor area for the comfort of their paritioners, even though the bulk of those paritioners rarely attend the church?
|
How many other places where people gather socially do likewise?

How much does the church drive up the price of precious resources by consuming such vast amounts to heat/cool empty buildings making those resources more scarce?
|
Do they really consume "vast amounts"? Do they really heat/cool empty buildings? What about all these damned skyscrapers that have the heat/cooling and lights on over the weekend when the buildings are practically empty?
Quote:

Does one day of worship justify seven days of heating/cooling the church? Does it justify heating/cooling all those empty churches?
|
This shows you really don't know what the hell you're talking about and I am really sick of all these damned threads intended only to express animus toward religion! I don't know of any church that runs heating and air conditioning seven days a week if the building is only used part of one day a week.

Is this what Jesus want would want?

What He would likely want is for people like you to stop creating threads with the intent of showing your animus toward Him and His Church.

Even more important, do any of the people supporting such behavior have a right to lecture me about conserving resources?
|
More of a right than you have to lecture Christians about anything when your lectures are based on wrong information. Besides, the only "Christians" I know of that might be lecturing you on your use of resources are liberal ones that have essentially abandoned the core doctrines of the Christian faith (and, thus, have ceased to be Christian). If you have a gripe, take it up with the World Council of Churches!

Perhaps organized religion needs to reorganize into an more eco-friendly incarnation, or risk becoming even more obscure.

Why should religion be more eco-friendly and who are you to dictate to religion what it must do?
