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

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.

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. …
