LMBO- up until now I always thought the term was ‘bible thumping’!! what a nerd I am! LOL…I thought it was ‘bible thumping’ like as in your beatin’ people over the head with bible verses…

I dont worship the earth either, though, I do not believe in sh*ttn where you eat…((shrug))
I’m Catholic so I don’t thump; I thumb the Bible! :eek:
 
Earth Day celebrates clean water, clean air, and green, green, green jobs.

It does not celebrate life. It has been a “population control” movement for 40 years and that hasn’t changed - now we want to add a pro-life message. - I understand but still. The earth goddess movement has done soooo much damage.

I also understand that many of these forums may have environmental jobs.
 
Couldn’t get on the net last night ISP was down!

Anyway GO GREEN RECYCLE CONGRESS!

and why not?? its seems to me the government has no problem with twisting things to fit their agenda…why not flip it on them for once?! way I see it is the more things I can stick pro-life messages to the deeper I can embed the frekn message! LOL, and people dont think alike…for example I have a friend, and shes like, no make up, hippie, peace love, use reusable shopping bags, vegan type- and she usually disregards all my pro-life messages…shes into womens rights and what not, but when I posted this on my facebook, she couldnt help herself from commenting and she loved it…I’m not sure that one comment switched her from pro choice to pro life, but…it sure did hit home, made her think…

Idk nothings going to get done unless we do it…
 
OH WOW! and its a CATHOLIC pic!! I’m so proud now gloats

I saw that picture, by itself on a website…somewhere I forget where, and I thought ‘ohhhhh its soooo beautiful- I could put this to work!’,
and I put it as my status on facebook just as I did in my comment…Havent seen it anywhere before or since- but hopefully I’ll start seeing it on buses!!!

The picture is great. I just don’t believe that the Earth Day movement will accept it at all .They are pro-choice because they believe that it is humans (their over-population)that are destroying the earth.

It may work with a friend but to promote a movement that is really so bad and this in not just in the US but very big globally(donations) where there is lack of correct information about what these Earth Day disciples really want which is zero population growth, confuses I think.

I don’t know what or if Arbor Day has taken a stand on life issues but this day is coming up shortly - maybe associate with old environment holidays. I’m just not sure.

I remember the first Earth Day. I grew up on a farm, and still live on one. We grow things - crops and critters, observe good conservation practices, and pick up the garbage that migrates into our fields and along our roads, and want the same from everyone else. I see no harm in reminding people where their food and energy come from. Many people are truly ignorant. We’ve had people ask us why our potatoes were dirty!! :confused: Have you thought about how many people are involved in producing just one can of vegetable beef soup??? It doesn’t ‘grow’ in the back room of a grocery store!

I never connected population control, or abortion, with Earth Day observances. You may call that naive. The first Earth Day pre-dates the Roe v Wade decision by 3 months shy of 3 years, to the day. I don’t see it as worship of all things green, but, as a response to God’s call to be good stewards of all He gave us, which includes, fundamentally, life itself.
 
"The founder of Earth day, Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson was as progressive as they came. His fight for safe birth control in 1970 prompted the national governmental dispute to be dubbed “The Nelson Pill Hearings.”…

Population control was taught in the schools in the geography class - subtle but big at least in the northeast during this time and books such as . Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring", and Paul Ehrlich’s “The Population Bomb" brought it into the college courses.

I do think the founders of Earth Day had an agenda and this has turned many off.
 
I told my kids this morning, “Happy Earth Day.” Then I told them to go out and play in the dirt.😉
