Worshipping the Weather: The New God?

Article from Cool Tools 4 Men Blog

Its been remarked before that religions have their origins in man's attempts to converse with the weather. Its also been remarked that when people stop believing in God, they'll believe in anything. I think the global warming phenomenon is an example of these two ideas merging: people have stopped believing in traditional religion, but something has to fill the void in their minds, and that something ends up being pretty close to paganism.

People have gone back to worshipping and fearing the weather!

When I saw this, I was intrigued. It tells of how, due to the descent of religion and god, people are now worshipping a false god; Mother Nature. It makes me think, all the time, the one universal topic on people's minds is the weather. ' Geeze, the weathers brutal today! ' ' Its bloody freezing! ' ' Whats with all the floods? ' , etc, etc.

Yes, I know its was raining today here in Ireland, a very common occurrence and talk about to the point of being obsessed about the weather! They ( including me, admittedly ) complain about how its too cold in winter and too hot in summer! People say that hurricanes and other such freaks of nature are on the rise and that the sky is going to fall. Well, I've got news for you; If you think the sky is going to fall, it will, ON YOU!

Maybe these occurrences are part of a natural cycle that the Earth just happens to be going through and you see governments and other doomsters telling you the world is going to end soon! Pah! Please.

I'll leave you with a thought; Remember the New Orleans Tragedy in 2005? When Hurricane Katrina struck the city and as a result, the city was flooded and many were killed. There were sites where buses that could have being used were flooded. Was the whole disaster orchestrated on purpose to further the view that global warming was happening?
