The study, based on data from the 2007 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, uncovered that belief in the “Second Coming” of Jesus reduced the probability of strongly supporting government action on climate change by 12 percent.

Praise The Lord!

Goddamit. Well as solid as this is, it still does not defeat freedom of religion. People "do" have a right to be fucking retards if they want to. However, people also have a right to educate retards. They just don't have the right to force their education of people via legislation, and I will kick some ass every time I see that.

Self  fulfilling prophecy

I know a fabulous argument for this conundrum though. They say global warming is god's will right?

Why not say, god's will is also explained in the bible, very simply in ten easy to use commandments. One of them is, THOU SHALT NOT KILL. What do you think its called when you poison people to death, and destroy the very earth they live on?

YOU HAVE SINNED. REPENT.

I take it you didn't know that it really means "Do Not MURDER".

Christians don't murder, they only kill. :M

Killing isn't murder when done to the sound of trumpets and the cries of men.  :M
