My heart goes out to our neighbors in Nova Scotia, but I do feel obligated to point out that nearly every use of the phrase “biblical proportions” refers to something really, really terrible.
That should tell you something.
I think it’s interesting that Revelation, which fundamentalists and some evangelical Christians believe describes the biblical apocalypse, directly references things that are happening now as signs that end times are imminent: increased major floods, earthquakes, famine, disease, fires, etc.
So it’s pretty fucking ironic that conservative Christians are the ones shouting the loudest that we should ignore these things and claim it’s nothing unusual. Surely the apocalypse couldn’t be a direct result of mankind’s “sin” of raping the earth. Or maybe they know it is and they’re waiting till the 11th hour to whip out of the repentance card.
Ive heard a handful of Christian leaders say things like, "I know its all gonna end in flames eventually, so I'm happy driving my massive SUV thank you very much".
Assuming you'll get captured before having to pay the consequences for climate breakdown, while knowing fully that your actions are causing the destruction of the world, should result in legally having all of your property confiscated and given to a refugee family.
