Jerry Newcombe, co-author of How Would Jesus Vote?, believes that Jesus' command for charity has transmogrified into the "monster" of a welfare state, which "breaks the back" of the urban family.

Newcombe advocates that family, church, and community should offer aid, not the government.

Jerry Newcombe argues against the premise of global warming: he believes that God created a perpetually stable world and any change we have witnessed is just the product of man's fear.

Newcombe likens the fluctuations in our climate to that of Mars, which he claims is similarly experiencing a "global warming."

Jerry Newcombe argues that the Bible is the best moral template even for people who do not consider themselves religious.

Newcombe credits the Bible for the moral foundation of the United States, claiming that America grew from the biblical moralism practiced by the founding fathers.

Newcombe finds American's biblical illiteracy today "disgusting," giving the example of evangelicals protesting Judge Roy Moore's suspension who could not name half of the Ten Commandments.

This is an important sermon because it helps define the battle lines in our information war. Those who choose to ignore the warning signs that have fueled the growing "global warming alarmist" movement are most definitely under attack. Put this "attack" you speak of in perspective. My family's evangelical roots begin long before I was born in 1960. In every way I can conceive, my father has lived out a near perfect "christ-like" example before my eyes. I've happily followed his moral lead all my life. He doesn't call me a "global warming alarmist", nor does he quote scripture citing how "stable" god created the universe. Regarding my comittment to eliminate my carbon footprint he says; "Environmentalism, it's your thing." I have three children and 2 grandchildren. Environmentalism is not "my thing". This awful feeling of guilt, inevitable when one becomes convinced that global population, energy reserves, and climate disruption are indeed legitimate concerns, is certainly not the result of overindulgence in a hobby. Unless you consider education a hobby. Perhaps scepticism's most valuable tool is "Pascal's Wager". I invite all "global warming sceptics" to play it safe by taking the time to investigate the claims made by a growing number of scientists, religious leaders, and energy industry experts regarding these critical issues. I'm confident that if you are wise enough to avoid limiting your investigation to conservative media you will come face to face with the fears of the growing number of "global warming alarmists". cordially, dj4infoe

All legislation reflects morality--the question is whose morality. So an a-moral position doesn't exist?
