Gas Drilling Virus
March 11, 2008:
1) Indigenous People to Heal Our Mother Earth gathered Monday at Maya ruins in Mexico to "explore solutions to environmental pollution."
2) The Vatican announced last weekend that pollution is "a sin of the new millennium."
3) Southern Baptists declared Monday that they have a "Biblical duty to stop global warming." Read more here about, "A Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change."
The Trees Gas drilling begins at Trinity Trees in Fort Worth, Texas.
Do you see a pattern? Consider this:
Natural gas production, without question, contributes significantly to pollution of the air, water and land. Despite this known fact, nearly every church in Fort Worth, Texas and the Barnett Shale region has signed away their mineral rights to a virtually unregulated gas drilling industry. By doing so they have, in a sense, legitimatized a growing environmental disaster.
Why have these places of worship sold out themselves and their neighborhoods to an unscrupulous industry? Why have they allowed their sacred buildings to be used by gas drillers to hold "signing parties" for naive and ill-informed residents? Why have Fort Worth religious institutions betrayed their moral duty to "care for creation and take responsibility for their contributions to environmental degradation?"
The answer can only be...for the money.
"God bless Texas. Help us save some it."
