The Left Pushes Secular Religions: Global Warming, Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Religion by definition involves belief in the supernatural or a divine power. Global warming and stem cell research involve real things and observable events. What's next, complaining about the secular religion of nuclear physics? Microprocessor design? Heart surgery?

I couldn't get past your first paragraph. The premise is just stupid. People who are reasonable and conscientous don't believe or have faith in global warming, et al, they read/research and form an opinion of what they think is likely. This is the opposite of faith which is a requirement for Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I am a Christian and I think your article is ludicrous in trying to tie science to a "secular religion". God gave us a brain in order to think, and a conscience in order to believe his Word. These things are not mutually exclusive. You need to think about another line of work.

The fetish religion of homosexual monogamy...
Evolution can only occur through HETEROSEXUAL relationships.

"All forms of human endeavor are evil. The only permissible interaction between man and Nature is, conservation, restoration, preservation and veneration."
This new, dogmatic and intolerant State Religion has taken control of the media, courts, politicians, bureaucrats, and our children through educational indoctrination at eery grade and level.
Wake up people - pantheism has risen, again.

Antonio speaks with tongues. But Antonio you are not predicting the future my friend, all those things have already happened.
When was the last time you had the freedom to pick an electric car off the new car lot?
I have wanted one for 30 years but they were never built?
Why?
I have been in a controlled socialist energy market sponsored by the military industrial complex since 1952.
Try and not confuse your prophetical visions of the future with the reality of the past.

Obama plans plans to use the global warming hoax (secular religion) to force us to swallow his socialist/communist agenda. Billions will be wasted to solve an imaginary problem, energy costs will increase, which will force companies to close, which will increase unemployment, poverty and despair. The global warming pseudo science, which Obama wants to use to gain control and force socialism on us, can cause more suffering than the eugenics pseudo science used by Hitler to gain control.

Yes, the pan evaporation rate of water is measured religiously every day using the same chalice, the same spikot, and the same pool of water.
Each day the farmer refills the tub to the same level and writes into his Bible the amount of water he had to add to bring it back to the same level as yesterday.
When he made the Revelations that for the past 30 years he has had to add less water each day, the Physics must have changed.
But Physics doesn't change, so instead, in his book of Revelations(Farmer's Almanac) he surmises a reduction in solar radiation based on particulate pollution.
And tomorrow, he will repaet the same measurement regardless of how the prophecy changes.
