28. My Bible says things like "Bless your enemies"
Fri Mar 9, 2012, 02:19 PM
Mar 2012

Haven't come across the climate change part but I'm willing to hear him out if he's willing to follow the basics of the Sermon on the Mount.
God gave us the earth to use and to have dominion over. When he comes back he's going to want to see how we have increased the bounty of the treasure he left with us.
He ain't gonna be happy.
