mmm, thanks, I will mention that. It’s a good hook. How nice it would be to have a few conservative friends in that liberal soup. At TG I teased him — ‘You sound like a National Enquirer article.’ He was going on about some conspiracy something, at a big clan get-together. We hooted and hollered him into clearer thinking.

You’re right, I’m not a Christian - I’m Jewish. More importantly, though, I acknowledged that I did not know enough about the situation to dispute your argument.

My only question was how it is possible that this act, in itself, is “non-Christian” - that is, how is it non-Christian to talk about any environmental issues (and, y’know, “the environment” encompasses a lot more than algore’s “global warming” BS)

Good for you. I hope your son takes the bait. This is going to be a good year to be involved too. There is more time to do things since the time between choosing candidates and the actual election is so long.

I hope you and your husband had a good Christmas. In Denver, we had snow all day and may have set a new record.

You had snow all day? Yes, it’s been quite a snowy week all across the country, it looked like. We were going to drive to Grand Junction and are so glad we didn’t.

I’ll mention that group. I’d love to see him involved in something like that. Have a good Christmas, too. ‘The time between the years’ the Volga Germans called it (in between Christmas and Epiphany, Jan. 6).

Is this the same dipshit who last week said the Nativity and Three Kings were all “myths”?

Good stewardship of the earth is not anti-Christian. Indeed, it would seem to me to be a Christian duty.

I believe however, that Archbishop has replaced traditional Christian doctrines and beliefs in order to embrace environmentalism as a kind of quasi-religious doctrine. When environmentalism replaces the fundamentals of Christian faith at the core of a sermon on Christmas Day, of all days, I begin to doubt whether the sermonizer retains any Christian beliefs. I suspect that the Archbishop finds environmentalism more congenial than a Christian faith he no longer possesses. Let me add that this in not the first time that the Archbishop has confused a leftist social agenda for ministering to his flock.

Further, I wish to clarify that in my previous post, I did not mean to insinuate that you were not a Christian. My comments were directed at the person of the Archbishop, and I regret any confusion.
