Minnesota GOP lawmaker Mary Franson dismissed climate change concerns in a state committee hearing, saying her faith in Jesus Christ—not scientists—guides her view
absolutely nothing, but it doesn’t matter. when your voter base is a bunch of befuddled knuckle dragging fucking morons, all you have to do to control their behavior is imply that trusting experts means you don’t love jesus, and you’re going to hell for it.
Interestingly, if folks like this read their Bibles – especially the Genesis part they love so much – they’d see that the one of the very first commands God gave to humans in there was to tend the earth as a garden. Like, it’s one of the first things ever said to a human in the whole book.
But like a lot of the Bible, right-wing types tend to ignore that because religion is a tool for control for them, not a guiding morality that constrains their unchecked lust for power.
What the hell does Jesus have to do with climate change?
