"Preach green"; and it was a question to spark debate, not a statement and certainly not a stab at humour.Bubbalo wrote:

Better that than "preach racism", "preach hate", "preach scientific ignorance", or even "preach whatever political viewpoint the minister was bribed to preach." There's a lot of evils in this world, "churches going Green" I would put near the bottom of the list.RicardoBlanco wrote:

I agree. No one's going to die. I don't mind preaching in general, but I like to think the people preaching to me are experts in what they are preaching. Since when was the church an expert on green issues?GorillaTicTacs wrote:

Since when was it an expert on gravity, determining if someone was a witch or not, the shape of the earth, biology, anatomy, or history. Church people don't need facts, they just need to believe. If they believe planting a tree is good, let them. They won't hurt you, and if they come door to door bible-thumping, just do what you always did and sic the rottie on them.RicardoBlanco wrote:

Lol, you've won me over with humour. Let them do what they like, no doub't it won't affect me in the slightest. It just goes to show how irrelevant and inconsequential the church really is today, something I'm very grateful for too.GorillaTicTacs wrote:

It was a debate on relevance and the consequentiality of the church in the context of green issues. Never mind Bubs, go rest your sleepy head.Bubbalo wrote:

Seriously, how do you come up with these topics? It's the job of religion to tell people what to do. That's what the pope does.

And thus essentially to tell them that he exists and to believe in him. So Bubba's right.RicardoBlanco wrote:

It's the Pope. He comments on anything of importance because he's a world leader. That's what he does.RicardoBlanco wrote:

I will when I feel like it.RicardoBlanco wrote:

No, that's the job of a Christian, or the sacred duty of a Missionary. A Priest/Pope etc. is supposed to instruct people on how to live their lives. Hence why Christians go to see them rather than unbelievers.RicardoBlanco wrote:
