As we lead our daily lives, over the decades, we forget that the war raging around us is a religious war. The Covid-19 interlude is somewhat of a diversion from the main war.
One side believes in a human caused global apocalypse, the Enviro Religion, the other side doesn’t.
In the United States the majority doesn’t accept the Enviro Religion, and the U.S. Senate won’t vote for any treaty supporting it. The world has conspired against the U.S. to create a religious jihad that commits Americans to a pseudo treaty that doesn’t require Senate approval but requires three years to exit the pseudo treaty. China, India and dozens of other countries with their own religions are exempted from the Enviro religious encyclical.
This Enviro Religion mimics historic religions as being universal in its designation of forbidden behavior. It has a distinct view of sin, which includes most technology (including nuclear) and most modern commerce (heavily Luddite.) It has rituals associated with recycling, food preferences (vegetarian), holidays (Earth Day) and an assortment of pagan-like nature worship stands (anti-whaling, endangered species, anti-GMO and organic farming.)
While Covid- 19 has many elements of the Religion, it stands outside the Enviro movement. The Covid shutdown satisfies many of the Religion’s precepts including anti-commerce and an anti existing-religions dogma (no church assemblies permitted.)
Both the Enviro Religion and the Anti position claim ‘science’ as its cloak of authenticity. Such claims have been true for many earlier religions.
Religions don’t disappear readily. The apocalyptic claims of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Seventh Day Adventists, and the House of David survived their failed apocalyptic predictions as did many earlier religions around the world.
We just have to live with the Enviro Religion as the 21st Century adherents die off.
