Well, I was left speechless this Wednesday night. Not by any kind of science revolution, or by anything which could be considered amazing. No, it was by a Year 10 Educated, 23 year old man casually talking over a cup of coffe to someone about something he'd heard in the news. Why was is so amazing? Well, since I was sitting a few feet away, I wrote down what he said because I was so stunned.

"Like you know, I hear in the news a lot about this whole, you know, global warming thing. And I think, 'You know, we're becoming just like the Aztecs'. This idea that if we don't do something the world is going to end. The Aztecs used to think that if they didn't sacrifice people tommorow wasn't going to come. They'll end up saying that Abortion is a good thing because it reduces our carbon footprint."
The man he was talking with replied, "There's always an agenda behind it. There are a lot of things going on."

Good grief. I spend weeks carefully researching that subject. Some laypeople sitting over coffee come to the exact same conclusion in a more elegant fashion than me. And the point of it all is that they are perfectly right; we are just like the Aztecs. It's been rightly pointed out that, since it is a matter of fact that evolutionism is a religion in itself, the new religion of climate change is inherently pagan. People revere mother Earth, and anyone viewed as deliberately wanting to harm her are to be crushed. In fact, because they don't appriecated the mother Earth, they don't deserve to breathe her air. People are so used to subtle paganism that they don't even notice.
It is an interesting point, however, that killing humans might be viewed as 'good' because it protects the Earth. That's the kind of thing Deus Ex joked about in its ingame news reports...funny how satire becomes reality so quickly.
It is personally fascinating, the pure pagan animosity towards people who disagree with the dogma of man-caused climate change. It is not too difficult to image how this situation could be neatly steered around so that Christians become the villans of this scenario, as always happens. I also find it intruiging that people fail to recognise that they are trekking down the one way road to pure paganism. It's one thing to want to protect the Earth because of some sense of stewardship, it's quite another to worship the planet to the point where humans get killed because they somehow 'threaten' it. All the woes caused by people with a God so useless he or she or it needs them to mindlessly kill people in order to enforce his-her-its will.
It was wisely said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

ps. I need to get round to watching the copy of 'the Obama Deception' a friend of my friend gave to them - but because it's sitting twenty meters from my room, I'm perfectly able to take it for a few hours without anyone caring.
pps. I wonder whether I am magically becoming more coherent? It seems I am, though as one person put it, (and I hope they meant it nicely) I am reading more and more like Vangor with every passing week.

ppps. This is weird...years ago I was planning on writing Perfect Dark meets Evangelion. I did write it, actually, but didn't release it. Now...who was it that gave me some advice on the forums? It was a man I think, and he mentioned that he'd done an English Major. He was also a descendant of Hitler, apparently...though I might be mixing two people. It's ironic, considering I am told I have Jewish ancestory. But anyway, I might dig around in some archived copies of Moddb and try to find that thread. Perhaps it will shed some light on the twisted stranger I've become.
