A conservative OPINION blog --with bite. OPINION by Joel Johannesen.

Environmentalism ruled at par with religion by U.K. judge;  Gore, Obama the new Messiahs?

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday November 04 2009 at 11:24 AM

An apparently sober judge has ruled that environmentalism and belief in the “man-made global warming” is like a religion, proving what we’ve been saying for years. Except we were being sarcastic and mocking those loons.

I guess this means the government must cease and desist all manner of involvement in the debate now, because you know, “church and state” and all that.  (Snarf!)

Climate change belief given same legal status as religion
An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly dismissed for his green views after a judge ruled that environmentalism had the same weight in law as religious and philosophical beliefs.

In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Michael Burton said that “a belief in man-made climate change ... is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations”.

The ruling could open the door for employees to sue their companies for failing to account for their green lifestyles, such as providing recycling facilities or offering low-carbon travel. ...

As long as they continue to prohibit “Christmas” at Christmas time, then it’s A-OK, Jack.  (Again with the sarcasm.)

Vote liberal.  Make this long trip even longer.

Hat tip to Warren Z.


EXTRA:
It reminded me of this excellent column by columnist David Harsanyi I read this past summer:

What Would Jesus Do? Ask Obama

... As CBS News recently reported, Obama has thrown around the name of God even more often than George W. Bush. Then again, no group couches policy as a moral obligation more than the left. On nearly every question of legislation, there is a pious straw man tugging at the sleeves of the wicked.

What isn’t a moral imperative these days? As if they were chiseling commandments into stone tablets, Democrats refer to budgets as “moral documents.” Thou shalt compost, or climate change will descend upon the lands and smite the wicked and innocent alike. Extend alms to the downtrodden moneylenders and carmakers, for it is just, and the president commandeth thee.

If the apostate argues that dependency programs keep poor people poor or that progressive environmental policies are ineffective and create poverty or that free will is more important than free stuff, they will be dealt with like the Amorites. And you know what happened to those swine. ...
