Vice President Al Gore offers some alarming clues about his view of God in his book, Earth in the Balance; Ecology and the Human Spirit.
He starts out his book by asserting his pantheistic beliefs. ....."we feel increasingly distant from our roots in the earth....civilization itself has been on a journey from its foundations in the world of nature to an evermore contrived, controlled and manufactured world of our initiative and sometimes arrogant design.... At some point during this journey we lost our feeling of connectedness to the rest of nature.... We dare now to wonder: Are we so unique and powerful as to be essentially separate from the earth?"
Gore identifies the root problem of Western culture in that "we lost our feeling of connectedness to the rest of nature" and finds answers in pantheism. He attempts to blend Christianity and pantheism where the source of all life, instead of God has become Mother God, (Mother Earth/Mother Nature also frequently referred to as Gaia). He, like the radical eco-feminists who support him, see the earth as the pagan goddess Gaia who "has been seriously 'wounded' by the expansion of human civilization, and now there must come a universal atonement for these many millennia of grief on 'her' part" through an event or process they call 'cleansing.'
