Why I fear for the future of Mankind

I found the below comments on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's website in response to a recent statement made by The Southern Baptist Convention regarding global warming.

I know I'm out in the Land of Tree Huggers (and a bit of one myself), but I think anyone could agree that this kind of willful, defiant stupidity is frightening (and I'm trying to hold my tongue here). Is it so hard to live responsibly?

While I believe that everyone should be responsible for keeping of earth as clean and as habitable as possible, I do not buy into the Gobal warming crap. It’s just another ploy by liberal politicians to take money from their constiuants by making either making the less intelligent feel guilty or by passing legislation that takes money out of my pocket. While church members should do their part, it’s political leadership should be ashamed by being duped into following the secular leadership of this country.

The false alarm being foisted on the inhabitants of Earth by Global Warming Prophets is not just shameful, it is harmful in every way. If I were a religious person I would call it sinful.
That some of the leaders, of all religions and all dominations, have embraced this new faith is proof that being a person of religion does not prevent one from being duped.
Global Warming is indeed faith based. There is no proof. Just a new religion invented false prophets and backed up by gamelike computer programs. In the wake of this new religion, we are being ripped off by a new industry.
The Big Carbon Industry is real. Real but based on false science. However, it might be the safest place to invest your money. I fear it is to late to stop this boondoggle.

I am from a Baptist background. If the Southern Baptist come out with a statement that Global Warming is real then I will no longer call myself baptist. Global Warming is a cult created by Owl Gore to destroy capitalism. I’m guessing there will be a lot of churches drop out of the Southern Baptist convention. To say that man can make a dent in what God created is arrogant. God changes the weather at will. We have nothing to do with it.

Traveler IQ Challenge

We're back!

Obviously. I'm only a week late with that statement.

We had a fantastic time in Mexico. We hung out with a great group of people, catching up with Andy's old friends and making new ones. Perfect weather, gorgeous scenery, good food, and a beautiful wedding. While we usually go for small properties when traveling, I have to admit that I was wrong in assuming we wouldn't like our resort-y hotel. The developers did a brilliant job of building it into the hillside - I was actually shocked when we went to the beach on our last morning there and I turned around to see how big it really was.

A couple random observations:

• Attending a wedding after you're married really is different.


• Drinking until the wee hours of the morning with people's parents takes a bit of getting used to.


• When booking international flights to LAX, one should budget plenty of time to clear customs. We had an 1.5 hour layover, but we were running through the airport. It was like a movie.


• Tamarind margaritas kick ass.

I'll post a link to all the photos once I get them organized.
