John Kerry: Scriptures command America to respond to global warming

“Our faiths are inextricably linked on any number of things that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today. Our faiths are inextricably linked on the environment. For many of us, respect for God’s creation also translates into a duty to protect and sustain his first creation, Earth, the planet,”

“Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, and you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures clearly, beginning in Genesis. And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. Our response to this challenge ought to be rooted in a sense of stewardship of Earth, and for me and for many of us here today, that responsibility comes from God.”

  2. What about our stewardshio towards each other to respect human life. If we cannot care for each other, flesh of my flesh, who feel pain, have dreams and aspirations, can we really care for the planet earth. Those are just hollow words, falling upon barren earth.

    • These are the nuclear bomb wielding environmentalists. The ones that have spent the past few decades ordering fighter jet sorties and spewing DU munitions. The ones that are in Wales conspiring to increase military spending as I write.

  3. it is truly astounding how the US leadership acts as though the age of enlightenment, the revolutionary triumph of skepticism and reason, didn’t actually happen and does not inform our civilization. In an age when an education is necessary for any ordinary job, how can it be that cryptic manipulative superstition still informs the motivation of those who would understand our world and whose values and principles would lead us to support them. Kerry is a twisted blithering idiot. Reason rather than faith in or fear of god(s) or the imperatives attributed to them is our defensive against exploitative manipulation. Epicurianism illuminated and informed the framing of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. It placed those who sought to exploit superstition, fear and faith for managing democracy in a deeply inferior position from which it is now belligerently revanchist. No wonder the USA is targeting secular states and boosting the malevolent fortunes of sectarian insanity and strife. It wants to frame a competition between faiths in which we align ourselves with our various faith teams according to their proximity to the one true god. Murder authorized by “god” is god’s work, opus dei –Kerry is the unabashed hit man. M\\
