The new religion

Religion, according to Websters (hey, do I sound like the kinda guy who can find a frickin' Oxford?), is the service or worship of god or the supernatural. Religion does not use reason or science to support its arguments of god or the supernatural-and if you deny that there is a god or the supernatural being of any sort, you go to a bad place. Now, frankly, I don't have a problem with religion or religious folk. Your beliefs are not my concern in that area.

But what I do fret over is that more and more people are accepting a very specific religion as being complete, undeniable fact. This religion is called environmentalism. The specific part of it that is growing is global warmingism. If you even think that global warming either doesn't exist or that it's not caused by people, even if you mention it for a moment to a global warmingist, you are immediately labeled as a right-wing fascist son of a bitch. That's right, folks. You are a right-wing fascist son of a bitch if you try to say that global warming might-might-be either natural or nonexistent. Even if you use reason, such as pointing out that the northern ice shelves are increasing in size and that the earth is getting increasingly cold. The response? Either you're part of the Nazi Party and you're an S.O.B, or you'll get the following:
"Well, the global warming is just being covered up by the natural cycle."
They will go on to explain that global warming does exist, but that the earth gets colder for periods of time, covering up the GW.

Now, here's my personal problem with that. Other than the obvious possibility that, hey, maybe global warming is actually just part of the normal cycle, doesn't this sound like something someone worshiping a god (global warming) would say to defend his religion (environmentalism)? It does. It's a pathetic, last-ditch attempt for the environmentalists to defend their feebly-built and rapidly deteriorating argument. The same thing is done by the Christian fundamentalists when you try to tell them that the earth actually is older than 6000 years. They say,
"Nope. All your science is wrong; all of the carbon dating is bullshit."
Yep, that's right, folks. Because of a very long, somewhat entertaining, book, everything you try and say to tell them that they're wrong is deflected by two words. The Bible. Only, in this case, the bible is called "The Inconvenient Truth," and the writer was a fat liberal swine who doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Environmentalism is a religion, one that is defended by ridiculously poor, half-assed arguments and one that is very dangerous to civilization as we know it. Think about it, folks.
