Inside the Church of Chicken Little

Via Michelle, a peek inside the confessional:

Having climate campaigner Al Gore round to your house is to open yourself to a self-flagellating guilt trip, Irish rock star Bono confessed Thursday.

Sharing a stage with the former US vice president at the annual gathering of world movers and shakers in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, the U2 frontman joked that their friendship was a source of pressure on the domestic front.

“He’s been round my house and it’s like… here’s the recycler Al, you know… I’ve got a posh car, but it runs on ethanol Al,” Bono said.

Acknowledging that a career in rock music was not always conducive to a green lifestyle, Bono compared a conversation with Gore to an act of religious contrition.

“It’s like being with an Irish priest. You start to confess your sins,” he said. “Father Al, I am not just a noise polluter, I am a noise-polluting, diesel-soaking, gulfstream-flying rock star.

“I’m going to kick the habit. I’m trying father Al, but oil has been very good for me — those convoys of articulated lorries, petrochemical products, hair gel.”

Naw... it's not a religion... not at all...

Joke or no...Bono was hilarious. To poke at Al like that just goes with the territory of making ones self cast into a rather "prophetic" public position..."I am here to warn you of the impending doom of Global Warming and Climate Change...there are famines, plagues, ocean rising seven feet world wide, ice cap melting"...on and on.

Starts to make Charleston Heston's 10 Commandments image look more like Micky Mouse after a while.

When a professing christian loses their direction, then they will run off in all directions. If you forsake the teachings of scripture, then any cause is a good cause. It would be better if these kind would renounce their supposedly faith, admit that they have no direction and then the listening public can and will make up their own minds. Sadly, it is the Old Testament proverb....."the Prophets prophesy falsely, the Priests bear rule by their means and the people love to have it so..." Al and Jimmy had their chances and blew them. God help us!
