Naomi Klein: “it’s about changing the paradigm of a culture that is based on separateness from nature, that is based on the idea that we can dominate nature, that we are the boss, that we are in charge. Climate change challenges all of that. ” http://ow.ly/XWn4P

And that, my friends, is (or SHOULD be) Eco Theology 101 (and in its absence, needs to be Theology 101, for until our theology recovers this awareness and recognition so aptly articulated here by Naomi, our Theology is destructive. Deadly. In its gaps and oversights, and in its eventual effects. It is in direct contradiction with LIFE ITSELF. It is an ideology at war with Theology (if we understand theology to be at it’s best —Life affirming— if it is to be deemed worthy of being called Theology at all) Destructive theologies (gnosticism, which is now more literally destructive than at any time in human history) are therefore what I call “Anti-Theology”, because “God talk” (the etymological meaning of the word ‘theology’) is LIFE – talk, and Theology without EcoTheology renders it Anti-Theology.)

(When I saw the interview above with Naomi Klein,  and the above quote, which recalls and reiterates the message of her book, This Changes Everything, I immediately thought of Paul Krugman ‘s article a few days ago http://www.nytimes.com/…/opinion/wind-sun-and-fire.html… and how Naomi Klein would have a few things to say about Krugman’s “lack” of urgency and optimism about technology, and too great a confidence in the “ease” of transitioning away from fossil fuels.)
