Charlotte Allen e-interviews Ann Coulter at Beliefnet…whew.<\/a><\/p>\n

You say: "The core of environmentalism is that they hate mankind." But in February the National Association of Evangelicals, including such signers as Ted Haggard, James Dobson, and Chuck Colson, etc., issued a statement urging Christian stewardship of the environment, "creation care," and so forth. Are these people godless liberals who hate mankind?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Of course not–but I’m beginning to suspect you are. As Dobson and Colson say: God asks us to be good stewards–a statement that presupposes we are stewards of the plants and the animals, they are not stewards of us, as liberals prefer. We are commanded to worship the Creator of the environment, not the environment. As Jesus said, we are of "more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:21). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s it. Charlotte Allen, godless liberal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
