Religion correspondent Shush is back from her doctor-prescribed seclusion (post Hillary meltdown). 😀
Green is the new black, and God is the new green. The Vatican released seven new mortal sins over the weekend, including causing environmental blight and genetic manipulation. This is a bold move on the Vatican’s part, because it puts major manufacturers the world over in God’s naughty column. Monsanto foods fly their bioengineering flags high, boldly putting out engineered corn which cannot be heirloomed and superpowered milk which may or may not give you health problems. They are only one of the many companies guilty of causing blight or playing little god with bioengineering.
My question is thus: if the American government wants to ban homosexual union to preserve morality, make abortion illegal to protect life, and cloak loosening environmental standards under the banner of furthering the American lifestyle- what are they to do with these new mortal sins? Are we now going to see God’s greenness promoted with as much vim and vigor as his supposed hatred for homosexuality? Or will God’s verdancy be dictated to our President while he puts his fingers in his ears and does that little “babble babble babble” thing that my charming three year old does when she doesn’t want to hear the consequences of her actions?
I get the feeling that hypothetical questions like mine are largely pointless. The self-righteous are comfortable blaming their failed marriages on the gays but aren’t quite as skilled at thinking about the ethical implications of the mutant corn in their freezers and the Hummers in their three-car air-conditioned garages. I guess that’s why we need the Pope.
