Comments on: Russell Moore on Climate Change http://www.dennyburk.com/russell-moore-went-to-washington/ A commentary on theology, politics, and culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:54:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Luke Britt http://www.dennyburk.com/russell-moore-went-to-washington/#comment-10419 Luke Britt Mon, 11 Jun 2007 05:11:36 +0000 http://www.dennyburk.com/?p=754#comment-10419 Josh, The two issues are not the same issue. Global Warming challenges evangelicals to be more aware environmentally and fight for better alternatives, whereas abortion challenges evangelicals to cherish life and fight for the unborn. I'm not sure I see Dr. Moore's point. It almost seems like we, as conservatives, can latch onto a couple of items and neglect the rest in the name of a superior battle. Abortion is the supreme battle. Because of the fixation on this one issue, other issues are not being discussed in light of the gospel. Gay marriage and abortion are very important issues, but there are other issues that need to be addressed as well. Josh,

I’m not sure I see Dr. Moore’s point.

Gay marriage and abortion are very important issues, but there are other issues that need to be addressed as well.

I think you can be concerned with one and not the other as to the fact that they can be seperate issues. But still the logical exstension of one will take you to the other. I didn’t read it that way.

They can be totally separate issues. As a matter of fact, THEY ARE! You can say that life is still sacred while telling the EPA to start doing their jobs. You can educate young people on how to keep themselves out of trouble while still mandating that steps need to be taken to reduce our use of fossil fuels. I think that this is the latest Republican talking point to keep evangelicals from going to the other side: YOU CAN ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT ONE THING AT A TIME! Uhh, not so much. what Luke said.
