    For example, your warm and fuzzy feelings, and tingles in your spine, don't justify dooming the human race.

    Dr. Hayhoe, you’re a climate scientist and an Evangelical Christian. Many in your faith are among the loudest voices denying the reality of climate change in our country today. How do you personally reconcile your religion and your life’s work?

    Absolutely. I just don't believe in things that aren't real.

    You guys and Antifa...….good lord get a sack they are just stupid kids. Are you scared of them? I sure as hell am not. Plus I have never seen a member. Stupid outrage from the right because you guys always need a boogyman. Its just sad that you are focusing on a bunch of kids that you should not be scared of.

    Science has studied and confirmed man-made global warming and has predicted the things you speak of. It is a massive consensus among scientists and great minds. I find myself lucky I will not see the worst of it.

    I recently told a fellow that I had lived through the best this country had to offer and now it looks like I will live through the worst it will have to offer, speaking politically of course. But like you, I too will not live long enough to see the worst of climate change, nor will I know anything about it. Right now I'm just glad I have no kids to worry about.

    The human race is doomed, one way or another. What difference does it make whether humans go extinct in 10 years or ten million years?

    I plan on living more than 10 years more so yeah, it does make a difference. That is a very silly question.

    None. The rest of the universe won't notice. We are not as "special" as we want to believe we are.

    I don't suppose you've ever stopped to consider the condescension implicit in equating God to an "invisible man in the sky".
    You might do better to save such sarcasm for Christians.
    Something's funny? :smile:

    If it was someone like you, who was being clubbed, you might feel differently.

    Atheists aren't being targeted, yet a conservative athiest would be.

    Those nutjobs have a religious belief system. They religiously believe in their ideology. Their religion deems it necessary to assault non-believers.

    Humans, it seems, have a need for some form of religion.

    Voting ultimately imposes your belief on others. Government is force.

    Make sure you respond by telling us all your side is the right one though.

    Of course, but, I don't want religious doctrine to shape our laws.

    Separation of church and state. And before you give me the right wing talking points save your breath. I have family in Law and there is a clear distinction between law and dogma.

    Tough titty to you who seems to want to live in a theocracy,

    So where was the invisible man in the sky that he allowed that to happen? Taking a nap? Laughing?

    Knowing right from wrong is in fact NOT the same thing as believing in some invisible man in the sky. Silly to even suggest such.

    Yet it seems fairly self-evident that the universe is the byproduct of divine creation.

    Why is that important?
