Environmentalism is the Work of Satan Himself

SimpsonsBryan Fischer is an evangelical talk-show host for the American Family Association, a hate group (according to the Southern Poverty Law Center) that is well known for its hostility to the GLBT community. You can view a YouTube channel of his shows. Approach with caution as there are some truly outrageous claims.

Well, he has also been making the news by calling for the kidnapping of children of same sex parents. This is save them from the “gay lifestyle”. Obviously not a good idea for a society that wants to defend the human and civil rights of its citizens, parents and children alike.

As it turns out, however, he is also quite the anti-environmentalist, and links homosexuality to environment protection as the common works of Satan. Here is a recent quote, sourced from Right Wing Watch, a blog from People for the American Way.

Any time you see some kind of agenda that is anti-human being, its anti-baby, its anti-humanity, its anti-population growth, youre looking at something that ultimately comes from Satan himself. He hates human beings. Why? Because we are made in the image of God. We remind Satan of the God that he hates and so he wants to stir up in human beings the same kind of hatred for humanity that he has. And hell use Planned Parenthood to do it, he will use the pro-abortion movement to do it. He will use the pro-gay movement to do it because you cant get human beings out of the homosexual lifestyle; its not possible so thats one way to slow population growth. He can get there through the environmental movement which is flatly opposed to population growth and actually proposes abortion policies as a way of reducing pressure on the environment. So anywhere you see that anti-human agenda, you are looking at the work of Satan himself.

If this seems a tad bizarre and out there to you, it is mainstream anti-environmental politics for many in the States. Some of my first blog posts were about Christian anti-environmentalism and attitudes to wildlife and nature. Link here for my my Rapture series of posts.

These posts were from 2005 and 2006. Sadly, not much has changed.
