“This whole arguement is plain silly. God the bible, carbon dating, Darwin. When you come down to brass tacks without technology there'd be no men as we know them and obviously no bible because there'd be no writing.
As for the church and morals or ethics how is it that in practical terms the church endorses war. How does it go 'For god, king and country.'
The first war joke about the Germans erecting a sign saying 'Got ist mit uns' and the British reply 'So what we've got mittens too' comes to mind. The joke's as much about god as mittens. I don't think there were many veterans of that slaughter that came out with their faith unshaken. On the question of global warming it's perfectly clear that the only real solution involves controlling the word economy. Keynesean economics brought brought unprecedented standards of living for the working people of the developed countries but expansion of two percent per year obviously cannot continue indefinitely. Until we achieve a stagnant world economy and stable population global warming will tend to accelerate.”

“Interesting that the Bishop thinks that faith is the solution. The problem would not be known about at all without science, the exact antithesis of faith, pointing it out in the first place.

To conquer this huge problem we need to rely on the best research. We need to be careful and evidence-based when decide what to do about it. Again, this is the exact opposite to a faith-based approach where you simply decide what to believe and stick with it.

But in reality, the bishop's ill-informed article has nothing to do with climate change. It's simply another method for him to put forward his religiously motivated bigoted view that atheists are immoral.

I find it strange that that BNP supporter was asked to leave the church a couple of weeks ago when clearly the views of the church and the BNP are so clearly aligned.”

“What I find most remarkable is your condemnation of capitalism - you add 'secular' but this reads as a conflation. Recently appointed Bishops' Convener in the unelected House of Lords, are you proposing a return to feudalism to resolve our environmental problems?”

“I'm not sure which rates higher in the mumbo-jumbo stakes: religion or eco-alarmism.
Me? I just put the recycling out every other Thursay morning.”

“Correction. Must proof read properly in future :-( .

"I have no doubt that many people of "faith" care about the environment, as to most with none, since the atheist believe that there is NO god out there to rescue us from the results of our own follies."”
