if this doesn't prove Global Warmers Fruit Loops. Open Session praying to Mayan Gods

[teapartysamurai]

With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to global warming, it's no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday.

Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools."

She called for "a balanced outcome" which would marry financial and emissions commitments from industrialized countries aimed at combating climate change with "the understanding of fairness that will guide long-term mitigation efforts."

Yeah, I know the PC crowd, the Pagans, and other assorted nuts are going to have a fit saying it's just as valid to open a session like this as any other prayer,

BUT . . .

Considering how Ixchel was worshipped (yes there was human sacrifice), a most curious source this woman chooses for "inspiration."

Climate change is real. Only the stupid or willfully ignorant believe otherwise. You Nero, maybe both. How much is human activity and how much is a natural phenomena maybe unknown. But, the impact of human activity is an observable fact.
Human sacrifice goes on everyday and has for as long as man has lived on the earth. Go to any military graveyard, the evidence there is understandable, even for those willfully ignorant and stupid.

A personal note, Nero. Why did you cut and run when I edited you post. I was simply trying to help you form a well structrued and grammatically correct sentence. Really I was, I swear.

Well it's a drop dead cinche that some humans are likely to be (and really already are being) sacrificed by "market forces" as global weirding effects us.

So praying to a pagan God that demands human blood probably is fitting enough.

Of course my choice would have been to open the "talks" with a invocation to the god of materialism, Mammon, but I suppose Ixchel will do.

Yes, just ignore the email scandal. Just ignore that cap and trade has crumbled under the weight of this scandal.

Just ignore all the evidence that Global Warming is a HOAX as conservatives have said for more than 20 years.

A bunch of Fruit Loops inciting Mayan Gods say Global Warming is real.

That just settles the debate, doesn't it?

If you don't like your hypocrisy being pointed out, I suggest you stop being a hypocrite.

The pagan view is extended to the earth as a living entity, to be worshipped and protected.

1. “ Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion "as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity," according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world's would-be environmental watchdog.”
TBR.cc: UN endorses new Gaia religion for world

2. “In our contemporary era, Earth Day has become the modern celebration of Gaia. Partakers of this event, whether aware of it or not, play off the ancient pagan beliefs of a Universal Mother. Like the sacred oaths taken in her name, today’s Earth Day celebrants sign environmental petitions, make pledges, and
announce resolutions in support of Mother Earth. And like the old sacrifices to the deity, today’s Earth Day practitioners offer sacrifices of “good works” to the planet. Not only is the Earth a deity to be venerated, but the Earth itself – as the representative and embodiment of the Goddess – has become a modern day idol.” All for Gaia - Earth Day and Total Transformation

3. “If you are unaware, James Jay Lee was an enviro-extremist. He was so extreme that he felt that people should not be allowed to have any more children because it was "killing" the planet.
In his rambling manifesto he implored the Discovery Channel to change its programming. "Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution," Lee wrote. (See .pdf of his manifesto)”Discovery Hostage Taker Following the Typical Envrio-Extremist's Path - Publius Forum

4. “He became an ardent environmentalist after seeing the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth and then reading the Daniel Quinn animal-rights novel Ishmael, a book he references at the top of his alleged manifesto.” James Lee: Discovery Channel Standoff Suspect Has Southern California Roots - Los Angeles News - The Informer

5. In his manifesto, Lee says: "Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population.” Man Takes Hostages at Discovery Channel to Save What's Left of Wildlife | Animals | Change.org

Discussed many times, liberalism is another name for the political religion of the Left.

Why would this surprise anyone, they are also planning human sacrifices.

Climate alarmism is nothing but politics and a way for those who think they are better than us to get richer. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not just willfully ignorant, they are incredibly willing to believe anything they are told, including the fact that praying to Mayan gods is not significant in any way.

Cause and effect is the challenge. Ignoring even the smallest chance that climate change is caused by human activity would give rise to study by the curious and concerned; small minded denial based on limited data and greed seems, well, small minded.

Christians have killed gays for two thousand years. What's the point? All praying is silly. Closing your eyes and wishing a supernatural spirit being would grant your requests "magically"? Come on. That's dumb. Making fun of someone else doing exactly the same silly thing is equally, well, silly.

You know, it's much more entertaining when right wingers talk "science". These people believe man was "shimmered" into being from dirt. Their other "opinions" are equally entertaining.

 

[skookerasbil]

Another thread proving that liberals have the political IQ of a small soap dish!!!

I laughed may ass off today when I read that Barbara Boxer isnt even sending a member of her staff to Cancun for the Global Warming summit. In fact, the New York Times isnt even sending a reporter to cover the event!!!

If all praying is silly why aren't you pointing out how silly it is to pray to a bunch of Mayan gods at a conference that is supposed to be about science? Could it be that you, like everyone else who defends this, are nothing more than partisan, hypocritical, hacks?

Your tag line

"More harm and hate is generated in the name of God then in any other human endeavor."

is incorrect. The best estimates by scholars around the world put the direct deaths by Christianity at least (the one most often targeted by atheists) at 264,000. This includes those murdered during the Inquisition(31,912), the Crusades(133,000), and the murders of Witches or suspected Witches(30,000 on the low end and 100,000 on the high end).


Socialism on the other hand as pointed out by University of Hawaii political scientist Rudolph J. Rummel is responsible for many, many more. 141,160,000 are estimated to have been killed in total. In the last 100 years atheistic Communism leads the way with a total of 110,000,000 killed. If we add Nazi Germany and Nationalist China, where religion was highly discouraged, the number rises to 141,160,000.

You need to read more history.

Apparently you live in an alternate universe with some of the other posters on this board.

(1) : an address (as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought <said a prayer for the success of the voyage> (2) : a set order of words used in praying b : an earnest request or wish 2: the act or practice of praying to God or a god <kneeling in prayer>

3: a religious service consisting chiefly of prayers —often used in plural

4: something prayed for

5: a slight chance <haven't got a prayer>

From the OP.

...noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools."

That counts as an earnest request or wish, and thus as a prayer, at least it does in the universe I live in.
