But Not Before Admiring It

clipped from www.davidwarrenonline.com Granted, I am a mystical Catholic nutjob, but I can't help thinking they'd be wiser just to attend daily mass; which is cheaper, too. For the collection plate is passed only on Sundays. As I have argued, almost ad nauseam in this space, contemporary western man has replaced religion with a quasi-religion: a fanatic moral relativism founded upon the cosmology suggested by Darwinism. Instead of faith in God, we have a neurotic scientism. And with that comes a grievous concern about the world, and all the distress of environmentalism. For if you don't think God is in charge, it may follow that we are in charge. We must regulate everything: even the weather. The conclusion to which the Low-tech Magaziner seems to leap is one I might contest, but not before admiring it. His headline was: "Information damages the environment." At least I would qualify this by saying that information wouldn't do half as much damage if people would stop acting upon it.
