Uh, no. When you have a Secretary of Health and Human Services about whom you can assume he’s wrong about anything he says, then you have a nightmare scenario for the state of Health in the U.S. Same goes for all “Secretaries” or “Directors” who head any agency involved in decisions or direction re: government responses to address the Ecological Continue Reading
It’s “Anti-American”, this “Corporate Deviant Behavior”. because it is “Anti-Life”, not “Pro Life” in ANY WAY. And it is Anti-World. We are all Citizens of the World and of THIS Planet, our Common Home. La Dauto Si.
It's not a "BBB", it's an "FFF" (Fascist Financial F***fest). Happy INDEPENDENCE Day, America! Time for some serious INTER-dependence!
My ideas about "the way" is so broad and reaches across so many religious "boundaries" that I've rarely ever even thought it necessary at all to "convert" people, especially those who are "Earth Honoring" people and find a depth and wealth of spirituality in that. They are more "saved" than most Westernized Christians in my book, mainly because of their Continue Reading
All of us Eco-Aware Christians emphasize a Biblical mandate for Earth Stewardship. In the two Creation accounts in Genesis (one in Chapter 1-2:3 , and the other in Chapter 2:4ff), It's a little unfortunate that the chapter one account is the one that expresses it as a "command" ("fill the earth and subdue it….have dominion, etc.) this "command" is blamed Continue Reading
I think it's out of character with the "intent" of a "constantly revelatory God" (or maybe "persistently revelatory") to expect us to derive "the most important truths" from what we've had for the last 2000 years. Of course, I don't believe that "the most important truths" have EVER been limited to that, and that it was NOT God's desire that Continue Reading
Lately, I've migrated to describing myself as a "Citizen of the Earth" as a "Philosophical", "Ideological" or even "Theological" identifier, due to "Christianity" 's lost favor. Whether you believe it or not, each one of us is an "Earth Citizen". The Earth is home for ALL of us. Because the most privileged and powerful people (and we are a part Continue Reading
To those saying "Free Palestine" suggests "Anti-Semitism", I say "Tell me you don't read the Hebrew Scriptures without telling me you don't." Hosea, Joel, Amos, Jeremiah, Isaiah, et. al.
Trump's "Memorial Day Message" contains NOTHING about the supposed honorees (the ones actually being remembered"), but only the very clear message that it is HE who wants to be honored INSTEAD. And what he rants about and claims to be "solving" is EXACTLY what the "honorees" were thriving to prevent for America. As many things that are wrong about our Continue Reading
Sorry, but NO “President” that served after Hansen’s testimony before Congress** should be considered “great” by any stretch, since they joined in the denial of the inevitable consequences for humanity of not taking the Ecological Crisis seriously enough to take actual urgent steps toward re-working our entire energy system, among other things. None of them did more than a few Continue Reading
PLEASE don’t leave out “Action to address Climate Change”, which is what ALL of LIFE depends upon. We do this far too often in our media around the world. Without a livable Climate, we will have NONE of this. This is just one example in a LONG LINE of such “lists” of things that are wrong with American politics (and Continue Reading
This section of Barnes and Noble for their books that address the Ecological Crisis is actually far better than a lot of bookstores. But still, an incredibly paltry amount**, especially compared to the section on “Current Issues”, as well as Government, Economics, and Science. Just one of the ways our attention is diverted elsewhere, into areas considered “relevant” in a Continue Reading
The Earth is the "Spiritual connector" between people who identify as a "person of faith" and those who identify as "atheist or agnostic". Many "people of faith", like me, and also like many indigenous people, recognize the holy in "our common home", the Earth. Some dogmatic theologians would label me "pantheistic". I usually correct them with "it is "panENtheistic"…difference between Continue Reading
It also would “help a lot” if the media, education, theological communities, and governments would get truly serious. It’s an even bigger ask now during all this chaos. But terminal conditions will not wait for our full and sufficient attention. They just keep coming, amidst whatever is happening. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/09/planet-dying-climate-crisis-emergency-scientists
