The Religious Left

I finally realized I may as well call things as they are, and explain definitions and phrases to my readership so we're all on the same proverbial sheet of music.

The secular Left abhors religion (but will "tolerate" most any religion with the exclusive exception of Christianity and Judaism), yet have their own very secretive, inclusive but actually quite obvious religion of their own: the Church of Global Warming.

It's a wonderful religion because, as they have consistently documented time and again, it's all about belief. The same facets of which they accuse the so-called "Religious Right" (or most any religion, save Islam) apply equally to the Religious Left, and that is:

• It's not about facts.
• It's about belief.
  

It's a wonderfully convenient religion as well. It can be what you want it to be, when it fits your mood and/or need to slam Western cultures (in particular, the United States):

If it's actually hot, it's Global Warming.

If it's actually cold, it's Global Cooling making it cold, whose base origin is in fact Global Warming.

If it's in between, it's still Global Warming because, after all, it's about a belief system.

Moreover, the only entities responsible can be those of evil, anglo, pasty-white Western cultures whose rapacious denizens are several rungs beneath inherently altruistic second- and third-world cultures.

It's a belief system to which the Left can attach its finest proselytizers.

New BZ phrase, folks: the Religious Left.

P.S.

A very nice piece recently on Right Think about the myth of Global Warming, with an accompanying excellent video.
