Moonbat Lent

Posted by Dave Blount at February 5, 2008 9:06 PM

Every Christmas and Easter, moonbats righteously screech that some Christian traditions were adopted from pre-Christian pagans. Likewise, the emerging moonbat religion of our dystopian future borrows from Christianity. For example, two Church of England bishops have called on Britons to give up emitting carbon for Lent.

All human activity, including breathing, produces CO2, which makes this crucial component of our atmosphere unholy from the viewpoint of antihuman moonbats — thus the charade of pretending CO2 will destroy the world by making the climate warmer. (In actuality, it's warmer weather that produces more CO2, by making the world a more hospitable place for the life forms that emit it.)

Already the Church of England is a transitional religion: half Christianity, half moonbattery. It is presided over by the leftist screwball Rowan Williams, best known for debunking Christmas, bashing America, sucking up to Muslims and blaming Christianity for domestic abuse.

Here's how James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, suggests Lent be honored:

[P]eople can take out one of their light bulbs and whenever they go to turn that light on, and it doesn't work, they can remember why they are fasting from carbon — to help the poor of the world. At the end of the fast they can replace it with an energy-saving light bulb.

How unscrewing a light bulb could "help the poor of the world" is not credibly explained. This must be a vestigial remnant of Christianity, which features a commitment to alleviating the plight of the poor. In stark contrast, moonbattery strives to sink the poor every deeper into poverty, less they achieve dignified lifestyles that would result in the emission of more unholy CO2.
