The whole reason we can’t address our biggest threat in any meaningful way is because it’s been relegated to the “political realm.” If anything, we should be arguing about solutions, not about the existence of the problem.

Of course. They always do. They quote the Popes that they love on stuff like Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage and Contraception and then ignore the Popes and even Jesus Christ when it comes to treating people better and all the rest of it.

How long before JEB compares himself to Kennedy and Kennedy’s statement in 1960 of not being beholden to orders of the Pope?

Great minds and everything…
Yeah! God told people to destroy the earth, right?
Anyhow, if Americans are good christians and continue working against poor people and gay people and non-white people, God will make more coal and gasoline and stuff like that, right?
Addressing the causes of climate change, protecting the environment and the health and well-being of mankind, being good stewards of the Earth - that DOES make us better as people, you dick.

“But I think religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about things that end up getting in the political realm.”
Jesus H. Christ, this is NOT a political issue; it’s a scientific issue that has been POLITICIZED.

I’d go for that.
Jeb, Rick. Since you won’t “take orders” from, or accept the moral authority of the Pope, congratulations, you are now officially PROTESTANTS. Enjoy your grape juice.
