Mother Earth's PO Box

13 Apr 2000 - Wonder If Mother Earth Gets Her Mail At A P.O. Box?
Lately when Gore has visited elementary schools he has had a project for the children. Considering his belief that streams and trees and the like are more important than people are, I am not surprised that it has to do with his “save the earth” agenda. But I am surprised at how far he went this time.

After he gives his little speech on how important it is to be kind to the earth, and protect the earth, (Let me add here that I see nothing wrong in taking care of the resources that God gave us. But God gave them to us for our use. And never is the importance of a tree to outweigh the life of a human.) he asks them to do some work for him. The children are asked to write a letter to “mother earth” and tell her they are sorry for mistreating her and to promise her that they will take better care of her in the future.

Calling the earth “mother earth” and thinking that you can communicate to “her” is a religion, pantheism. As a Christian, I of course disagree with “praying” to the earth, the creation as opposed to the Creator.

If some politician were to go into a school and ask the children to write a prayer to God, asking for forgiveness and promising to do better in the future the liberals would give birth to a herd of 2 headed cows, immediately after they swallowed their fat tongues! For all their rhetoric of “separation of church and state”, they turn a deaf ear when their nominee is pushing a religion in the schools.
