Some but not all Christians think climate change is a hoax or not man made.
You're not a faith of climate change deniers, but you are the preferred faith of climate change deniers.
These are massive issues for Christianity to deal with. And so, as usual, you don't.
I suppose it may be why I have a problem with Easter, when some say Jesus died for OUR sins....it seems to remove our responsibility of facing things we have to address about ourselves.
I suspect it's more complicated than that....especially when it required a kiss from Judas to point Jesus out to the guards. It would appear that Jesus wasn't easily recognized by the authorities.Like many progressive Christians, I don't believe that Jesus died for our sins - we are responsible for our own "sins".
I believe that Jesus died as a political assassination. The "sin" or responsibility for Jesus's death lies with those that ordered, carried out, or agreed with him being killed.
I agree.It seems to me that sin is when we fail to take care of and nurture our relationship with one another, were collectively when we destroy our living green forests with clear cutting, pollute our lakes and streams that provide our water, and poison our atmosphere – we sin.

I suspect the Judas kiss was an elaboration to the story - surely Judas could have just as easily point Jesus out?I suspect it's more complicated than that....especially when it required a kiss from Judas to point Jesus out to the guards.

The definition of “religion” from Black’s Law Dictionary:
"Religion. Man's relation (to Divinity), to reverence, worship, obedience, and submission to mandates and precepts of (supernatural or) superior beings. In its broadest sense includes all forms of belief in the existence of superior beings exercising power over human beings by volition, imposing rules of conduct, with future rewards and punishments."
X. Covet thy neighbor's goods and all that is thy neighbors, for thereby doth our Order prosper.
This sort of thing happens regularly. What's special about the Jesus case, then?Like many progressive Christians, I don't believe that Jesus died for our sins - we are responsible for our own "sins".

To a fundamental 'Statheist' like yourself nothing. It is par for the course.This sort of thing happens regularly. What's special about the Jesus case, then?

Nothing. Jesus is a metaphor for all people who suffer and die unnecessarily due to systemic 'sin'. Matthew chapter, "and whatever you do to/for the least of these, you do to me". Hunger, nakedness, imprisonment, loneliness, homelessness, are all failures of the 'system', not individual failings.

The vast majority of environmental injustice perpetrators in North America are 'Statheists' (some but not all of them call themselves atheists) ... In Canada ... without a SIN ... no individual 'citizen', whether they call themselves christian or atheist, can ever be invested by the power of 'your honorable worships' to legitimately commit crimes against the nature of humanity for their 'namesake'.But the vast majority of climate change deniers in North America are Christians. You keep running into this problem. You're not a faith of climate change deniers, but you are the preferred faith of climate change deniers.
Statheists gonna state ...I agree that these laws and commandments are the best people could do at the time.
