The Christian Right’s stance on the environment

The Christian Right’s view of the environment can be summed up by a bumper sticker: “Just ignore the environment, it’ll go away.”  The Christian Right sees no use in trying to protect the environment mainly because liberals want to preserve it and anything a liberal is for, the Christian Right is automatically against. However, there is another reason: the Christian Right believes that we don’t need our environment because we are in the End Times.  What’s the point of preserving something if Christ is returning soon?  Well for one thing if the Christian Right is wrong about the End Times they are leaving a very unhealthy world to their grandchildren.  

It’s almost funny how the Christian Right believes that God created the Earth, yet they despise environmentalists who want to protect what God has created. The Christian Right prefers to use the Earth like it was a commodity, “use it up and throw it away”, like a capitalist uses a natural resource.  The two main reasons that the Christian Right doesn’t join in with the environmentalists is that the environmentalist, for the most part, are liberals and the Christian Right supports the status quo of the greedy capitalistic quest for money.  These are two very noble reasons to destroy the planet that God gave to them.  It seems to me that a true Christian would be a good steward of God’s gift and not support those that mistreat the Earth.

Good citizens of the US should seriously question the motives of the leaders of the Christian Right.
