God made me do it.

The environment is a values issue. There are significant and compelling theological reasons why it should be a banner issue for the Christian right.

Rev. Ted Haggard, President, National Association of Evangelicals

This precisely my chief complaint against religion of almost any kind these days. Why do there have to be "significant and compelling theological reasons" for doing anything and everything? Why can't you just do them because they are smart and practical? Why do you need to have theological arguments to compel you to act? Are you really that weak of character? Is religion full of people who don't have the intestinal fortitude to act on their own and thus need God to compel them to righteousness?

Caring for the environment is a no brainer. Taking care of God's creation should be self-evident. How come it's taken you so long to figure out it's something you should be concerned about?
