Below is a clip of a small group of pagan peoples who call themselves the “Earth First!” tribe. This tribe has been around a little over a quarter of a century. They worship trees and nature in general and have an especial reverence for “old growth” trees that have been lost through storms or cut down to supply shelters and valuable articles which increase the comfort and joy of the rest of the human race. It has been interesting to watch their patterns of behavior over the years. They weep over the loss of a tree, but, strange to say, seem to be utterly insensitive to the well-being of fellow human beings. They have become increasingly distraught over the fact that the rest of us by and large, ignore them and continue to enjoy the things we can build from their gods. It is a very strange psychosis, but let’s not judge. Regardless of how one may feel about this interesting group of Americans who pretend to be aborigines, it is good for us to know that this tribe exists and to be aware of their insanity. And let us pray that it be temporary.
Here is a video will assist in raising your sensitivities. Indeed, after watching the anguish of these primitive peoples, I determined to build a big bonfire in their honor, roast a few fowl*, and eat them on my wooden table while sitting on my wooden chair — handcrafted from old growth oak — just to let them know that I’ve heard their wailing . . . and am now more thankful than ever that I own an ax as well as a saw.
Enjoy.
*I had originally written “foul” — I guess as an unconscious reference to how this makes me feel.

I think you might enjoy eating fowl more than foul.
oh, man, that’s hilarious. I think I’ll leave it.
Steve, did you see avatar?
I did.
LOL!!!! ROTFLMTEO!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a modern “contemporary worship service”.
North Carolina eh, I wonder what state these….people…originated from (Kalifornia?)
Valerie, maybe he wants to roast a few of them foul, but Steve, with all that hollerin’, which I think may be scaring off the sacred cathedral’s creatures, there’s sure to be a massive release of adrenalin, causing them to be tough indeedy.
When she said the rock had life I was convinced. They are crazy.
Who can deny that these tree huggers have their own religion in which they worship the creature more than the Creator?
This is the mindset that mourns the passing of an animal species but has no problem with abortion because if we can just kill off enough humans then the rocks and trees will have more space to do their thing–whatever that is.
Reminds me of Cass Sunnstein, one of President Obama’s “czars” who believes that animals have the right to sue humans. He and that “live rock” out in the woods belong together–I’m just not sure which one crawled out from under the other.

Me thinks that first girl was channeling Michael Scott from “The Office”. She’s good.
Although it’s a little off the subject, it’s close enough. Walter Williams had an excellent article in the Monroe, Louisiana News-Star today 1/13/10 in which he stated that global warming is a religion with some folks.
Some of their “articles of faith” include shouting down and harassing those who disagree with you and manipulating the scientific numbers to make them support your global warming agenda.
While I didn’t agree with everything Mr. Williams stated in the article he most certainly had the right take on the theological implications of this particular brand of “tree hugging.”

Interesting that they don’t mind wearing the clothing made by the evil industrial complex!
