Michael Coren: Put People First

Life matters more than planet on which humans dwell, says Michael Coren in his Toronto Sun article:

Here lies the point. Life matters much, much more than the planet, which is merely a place on which humans live. We need to care for Earth not because of it, but because of us. Pure self-interest. If humanity did not exist, to hell with the planet. It's a means to an end. We're the end; Earth the means.

Problem is, fashionable thinking has reversed the equation. The planet is to be saved because it is precious in itself and we, dangerous intruders, are the problem. Earth is to be revered, loved and even worshipped. Like some perverse replacement theology, Mother Earth takes on the role of real mothers and fathers.

This is why some of the leading spokesmen for the green movement are calling for the world's population to be reduced by 75% and see every birth, particularly in the developed world, as an ecological disaster rather than a living miracle.

They won't allow a scientific discussion but they still pretend that their neopagan suicidal cult is scientifically based. They mock Christianity by wishing each other a "merry solstice", but they cling to a fanatical belief that buying "carbon offsets" will somehow make the air cleaner. Or how about a hotel chain that has replaced the Bible with Al Gore's "inconvenient truth"? To make things worse, earth-worshiping missionaries have virtually unrestricted access to our children:

The same ideologues behind the public school system that has worked so hard for years to expunge classical education from our children and prevent them learning about true greats such as Shakespeare, are obsessed with promoting Earth Day and guaranteeing that if kids know nothing else, they will know how and when to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another reason to choose homeschooling? You bet!
