Al Gore Called ' Prophet ' After Baptist Group Speech

Okay, not the usual type of post here at Holger Awakens but I couldn't resist this headline and the fact that many conservatives have accused Al Gore (the Goracle) of literally creating a Religion of Global Warming.

The whole story of Gore's speech and the reaction is here at OneNewsNow.

But you have to read this excerpt right here:

"With a green-colored Bible in one hand and his familiar red laser pointer in the other, former vice president and Nobel prize winner Al Gore led 2,500 Baptist preachers and lay leaders through his global warming slide show in Atlanta Thursday. Sounding more like an evangelist than a politician, Gore drew upon Scripture, science and a Sunday school teacher from his home church to urge Baptists to do whatever they could to fight global warming."

Hmmm...global warming...and Bibles? Global climate change from a pulpit? Okay, now a warning to all future audiences of Al Gore. If you see the ushers start to pass out glasses of a curiously bright colored fruity drink during one of his sermons, you may want to pass on whetting your whistle!

Al Gore called 'prophet' at liberal Baptist meeting

Al Gore has used a speech to hundreds attending Jimmy Carter's liberal Baptist meeting in Atlanta to sell his global warming campaign.

The newspaper goes on to quote Gore as telling the crowd that "if we heap contempt on God's creation, that is inconsistent with glorifying God" -- and comparing the "rising storm" of the alleged climate crisis to the rise of the Nazi party in the 1930s.

And it appears Gore had plenty of disciples at the gathering. According to The Tennessean, Robert Parham, executive director of the Nashville-based Baptist Center for Ethics, called Gore a "Baptist prophet." In introducing Gore, Parham said, "prophets are unacceptable because their truth is inconvenient." The newspaper also quotes Todd Lake, vice president for spiritual development at Belmont University, as saying Gore had opened his eyes to the scale of global warming. "Not only do we have a crisis, we have a mounting crisis," Lake stated. Despite the apparent success Gore enjoyed at the meeting, many people question the former vice president's claims about global warming. They argue the earth is simply going through another cycle of changes, as it has since the beginning of time.
