Right Wing Watch reports on a new video series about the “dangers” of environmentalism. Money quote:

Resisting the Green Dragon is therefore particularly timely because it not only refutes the scientific case for dangerous manmade warming and other “crises,” but also exposes how environmental organizations use sophisticated media campaigns and even seek increased global governance to promote their agenda among policy makers, religious leaders, and youth. “One of the greatest threats to society and the church today is the multifaceted environmentalist movement,” says Cornwall Alliance founder and national spokesman Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. “There isn’t an aspect of life that it doesn’t seek to force into its own mold.” (Emphasis mine)

Funny! Environmentalism is about man’s relationship to his environment and the preservation of those natural things that sustain life (like clean water and air). There is literally no aspect of human life that doesn’t impact your environment and isn’t impacted by it. Nor does the environment respect lines on maps.

Their scriptural references are not compelling, either. I know people who use the same word these guys do — “dominion” — to talk about preserving the natural environment rather than destroying it. Many of the folks at Appalachia Rising would take exception to their characterizations and insist environmentalism is about human rights.

And really, that’s where movement Christianity has lost its soul to Producerism, isn’t it? The green dragon is a mental construct to defend pollution and ecocide. They’re all about a right to life that ends at birth — and defeating their own mental dragon with magical powers of prayer. Who cares if the water is poisoned? Jeebus will set it all straight when he comes back.

If I could send this post back in time to myself, I would share it with friends whose moms came home from church with crazed stories of Satanic influence and threw away their childrens’ Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books. We’d probably laugh. Probably.
