My righteous indignation reared its head when I read a recent letter from Lewis Loflin concerning the “followers of the watermelon cult.” Mr Loflin claims that “The earth is not holy, divine, sacred, etc.” as he rails against the “pantheistic New Age nonsense” advanced by those of us who can clearly see and acknowledge global warming.
Perhaps we are reading from different Bibles, but mine states that “the earth is the Lord’s ... the sea is his and he made it, and his hands prepared the dry land.” That clearly makes it holy, divine and sacred to me.
If we don’t assume responsibility for stewardship of the Earth, who will?
