What is wrong with us(?)...

Thanks to my fruity sister-head, I'm posting a link to this article from Time.com. It's an article about how the rich buy indulgences for their sin of porking the environment (See article here) Can you tell I'm a little upset about this? There are two reasons for todays rant. First, the aforementioned article and second, something that happened to a friend of mine recently.

This friend of mine works for a group that strives to be environmentally conscious and help people here in the U.S. and around the world. Recently someone went to work for this company that used to work for a Christian organization that does all sorts of good for people here in America and around the world, I'm not sure where they stand on the environment, but that's secondary. The discussion inside the new company where my friend works, was about the new guy and how he seems like he is going to be a good addition to the team, someone mentions that the previous organization they worked for was "Christian" suddenly the question becomes, why would a christian want to work for an organization that helps people in the US and around world AND cares about the environment? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!! If Christians, myself included, have not and are not at the forefront of taking care of other people and this planet (of which we are supposed to be stewards. We've done an awful job of being who we are supposed to be. Obviously we've done too little to show what is important and we are spending too much time shooting at each other for things we have or haven't done. People should be turning to organizations that are taking care of people and the environment and, only after the fact, finding out that they are a group of people that follow Christ.

Alright, I guess I'll stop ranting now. Thanks for listening. :-)
