Yes, we know you’re obsessed with atheism, but this post has nothing to do with atheism (or with KCFS, for that matter). Please try to keep your comments on topic when you visit our blog.

But why are you wasting time posting here, anyway? Cheryl and I are not atheists–we’re both Christians.

Our side certainly does have an agenda, though. It’s called spreading the Good News of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thankfully, we’re also both teachers, so we get the opportunity to do that through our words and actions on a daily basis. I encourage you to consider whether your own words and actions demonstrate the love of Christ. From what I’ve read from you lately, it’s kind of hard to tell that you’re a Christian at all.

Since you’re here, maybe I can offer you some advice:

Wouldn’t your time be better spent looking out for the black helicopters? I hear they have new detectors that can instantly locate anti-atheists based on their IP addresses. Keep posting on Pharyngula and who knows what might happen to you!

Speaking of wasting time, have you ever considered using bookmarks or favorites to keep track of URLs? It seems like a huge waste of time for you to go to Google or Bing and type in the name of a website every time you want to visit it.

I mean, who does that? Well, except for you, and “Andrew”, and “Winston Smith”, and “Christensen’s Clone”, and *redacted*, and “Goldstein”, and “Goldstein’s Ally”, and “Sethj” and “Old Coot” and “Concerned Poster” and “Albert Speer”…

Man, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were all the same person!

Cheers!

Quit pretending like your side has no agenda.

(And do all the snooping you want. None of us here give a damn anymore.)

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath either.

I think until we persuade people to look at the science, and stop listening to the demagogues in their echo chambers, we won’t be able to get past the polarization that has replaced what used to be somewhat-civil conversation. Until we get past this spirit of no-compromise-it’s-my-way-or-the-highway, a politically practical and possible solution doesn’t exist by definition.

Is there time? I don’t know. I don’t think we can use “we’re too late!” as an excuse not to act. Not unless we want our kids to fight bigger problems.

But the real dispute comes in when you deal with conservatives, not necessarly Christians by any means, who dispute WHAT to do about it. Some of them see it as just a means of more government control, which the government will botch anyway. And I can’t say I totally disagree with them; just look at the Gulf Oil Spill and the governments failure to act.

So, granted Global Warming, what to do about it in a politically Practical and Possible sense, and, is there Time to do anything about it?

In addition, I am convinced that one must occasionally find a little humor in this never-ending conflict in order to avoid going insane.

Don’t you agree?
