U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Illinois, has some, um, thoughts on how climate change and God relate. |
Don't we all.
In a now-viral video, Miller has this to say about climate change:
"I've even very outspoken about this, it's a sham. The whole climate change is a sham..... First of all, God controls the climate, because he controls the sun, and the sun controls the weather, primarily."
Yeah, the sun is there, so climate change can't exist, apparently. Especially since God put the sun there?
Physics and climatology and meteorology and all those sciences clearly confuse Miller . You can't expect everybody to be an Einstein, but really, Mary Miller, you can do better.
Of course there was reaction to Miller, very little of it flattering. Reports MSN:
"Miller's comments about God controlling the weather are receiving a lot of pushback on X. As one replied: 'Tell God to stop warming the Earth ate about 1,000X the natural rate' Another chimes in with criticism of MAGA lawmakers at large: 'This is why they don't want federal government education and private school vouchers.'"
Several people wondered about Miller's grasp on what God's purpose really is. Did he not give us brains to pinpoint problems and figure out how to solve them, or should we not bother even trying to do anything since God takes care of it all anyway?
If you believe that, as Miller apparently does, that's just plain laziness. "I'm not going to figure things out on my own, I'll just let God take care of it." In other words, Miller is opting out and making any issues she encounters somebody else's problems.
Or does she think I'm just wasting my own time when I problem enters my life and I use my brain to figure out how to solve it. And if that's the case, why the hell did he give us humans (well, most of us, anyway) functioning brains?
And what about other supposed "acts of God"? As one commenter on X asked, "And what is God's great purpose for sending a tornado to a small town in Kentucky or Wisconsin which then levels a church or a school?"
It's God's will to kill students and churchgoers by unleashing tornadoes on them? And don't tell me God is only protecting MAGA "believers." Red states get plenty of horrible, undeserved weather and climate disasters, too.
