We should be more angry about christian men serving God who are sleeping with young girls, molesting boys in the alter using the name of God. I get more upsets when christian leaders are not up to their moral obligations not only on sex related issue but health, racism and using God and the church to create separation among different races. That is not what God taught us. He thought us to love one another. It is amazing that abortion is rated a mjor problem–I am a christian who opposes abortion except incest and rape.

I agree about poverty, though; it's needless suffering. And about global warming; I think that there are other very good reasons to do all we can to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, but the way it's being hyped, global warming has the characteristics of an apocalyptic religion. And I don't think apocalyptic religion of any stripe makes for good policy. Thinking about the last few times I got righteously steamed about something, I also don't like prejudice, and the depersoning of groups that one doesn't like--including, but not limited to, groups of which I am a member. As a rule, if one wouldn't say something to the face of a member of the group one is talking about, one ought not to be saying it online.
