Leaders, Activists Throwing in the Towel in Copenhagen

And the liberals think that Christianity is evil and destructive to these native, pagan, “peaceful” cultures, when in fact Christianity was the only thing that was able to free these pagan animistic cultures from their evil, sadistic, gruesome & immoral practices.

Remember hearing about how the evil Brits stole away thousands of aborigine children from Australia and sent them to live with British families? Go back to that chapter in the link above and you'll see why in the section on Australian aboriginal children.

Take a look also at the home link at the The Childhood Origins of World War II and the Holocaust. It's quite dark but illuminating.

I’m hoping all this means that I can buy a regular lightbulb after 2012 ... ;-)

somewhat dark? Who ever wrote that tome is a psycho-—their view of human nature is warped, to say the least.

The conference, the largest of its kind, attracted scientists, activists and human rights supporters from every corner of the globe, who believe that without a climate accord limiting greenhouse gases, glaciers will melt, oceans will rise and the weather will go so warm it could wipe out 50 percent of the Earth's species. Until Friday, they saw Copenhagen as their last chance to stop it.

Mother Nature is not bound by man's laws. Again, Copenhagen is about global governance through a climatocracy.

The love of money is the root of all evil (1st Timothy 6:10) and it applies to these watermelons.

So in the end, capitalism keeps us warm, while Marxism freezes the Marxist rock solid. Now that, my friend, is poetic justice.

Yes, except for the victims, many of whom however will fight to be marxists until their last drop of blood freezes in their veins. Sad.

Gonna have a bunch of Ole Marxist Hippie Ice Sculptures out there in the Temperate communes. My guess is they will actually be demanding that we evil capitalists bail their lazy buts out again. The tropical Marxists will be running out of food as the tropics quickly turns temperate. I think Remember Copenhagen should become the rally cry for us Free Marketeers.

Now that might just work.

“You can scapegoat the process. That wasn’t it. It was the unwillingness of people to move around big issues: ...”

There was only one “big issues”. How much money to send to the third world.

The fact that ‘climate change’ was all about extorting funds from the US tax payer to send to the third world should have been obvious to any one with have a brain back 15 years ago.

I used to participate in UN simulations back in college in the sixties. The liberals running the simulation always wanted us to pass resolutions paying reparations to the third world for colonialism. Global climate change is just the latest tactic to meet that objective.

Don't shoot the messenger. Human nature is warped. The author was relating what others have observed over the past couple hundred years. The warped view of these things is largely what folks like Margaret Mead and other such anthropologists have done to minimize and explain away such behavior by saying that in the cultures they are observing such behavior is the accepted norm and, therefore, is not bad. It also didn't help that folks like Rousseau and Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson had earlier pushed a viewpoint that called modern (Christian) man evil and primitive (animist) man all things wise and wonderful. Many of the anthropologists went into the field looking to justify that view of human behavior. You'll see some of them saying things like their purpose as anthropologists was neither to condone nor condemn but merely to observe, describe, and understand.

This author takes those descriptions* and shows how being raised in a culture of extreme violence, nearly absolute lack of personal safety as a child, daily terror and pain inflicted upon a child causes extreme psychological harm and results in a child learning to do the same things to deaden or minimize the psychological (and physical) pain. He also maintains that serial killers in the modern world often have had childhoods very much like those of children in the primitive cultures. The similarity of practices across the world and the similarity of varied cultures' mythologies shows a common origin. For the author, this common origin is not transmission from one culture to another but is aboriginal in the human nature and behavior. He maintains that it can be changed, and has been changed, but that there's still a lot of improvement that can be made.

Poor guy, though, he is, like the anthropologists, locked into believing that any and all religion has the very same origins in human behavior and, therefore, is all doing the same thing. Consequently, he attempts to shoehorn both Christianity and Judaism into that mold with predictable results. Now it may very well be true that there are many people in Christian nations and people who describe themselves as Christians who grow up in surroundings similar to, though not as extreme as, those described of primitive cultures, with many of the same results. It is a mistake, though, to conclude that the Christian belief system is responsible or is merely an expression in religious imagery of these underlying behaviors seen all around the world (underlying in human behavior, not underlying the Christian belief system). But if you have a viewpoint that says there is no possible origin for religion other than human psychology, then three things follow: 1. You will interpret everything in every religion from that viewpoint, 2. You will entirely miss anything that could be from a different origin, 3. You will be at a loss to explain, other than the picking oneself up by one's bootstrap explanation, how things in all different cultures can be remarkably changed as a result of one particular religion.

It's similar to the naturalist's claim that all life arises from natural processes through random events and that all appearances to the contrary of design and purpose are only that, appearances. If they ever encountered anything that was of a non-natural origin, they have no means of being able to detect it because they've already ruled that out from the start. At best, it's just a mystery they cannot explain or a weird coincidence that their associative minds try to make them believe there is something there where there is not.


*which, in all likelihood, given the biases of the anthropologists, are watered down or edited descriptions of what they observed. For instance, Margaret Mead left out of her publications things that she described in her own letters back home.

Make no mistake. These third world hell hole dictators are not concerned about "Greenhouse gases" or anything else - except the extortion of money!

That is what this is ALL about.

Moreover, this "conference" was nothing but a front for Communists. If anyone has any doubts, watch this video from Copenhagen.
