On the Green Front This is interesting, the Vatican is going green and has named eco sins as some of the top sins.

I am not sure how I feel about this. I am not Catholic, but I feel that environmental issues are socio-political issues not religious. I feel that if you do believe in God and you are a person of true faith, you will want to take care of the world that God has given us to live on, but that, like any other point of faith, is personal between you and God. Fight environmental damage by being an example and supporting political legislation that helps, but it should not be part of our churches. Weren't the pagan religions based on Mother Earth?

On the Green Front 2 Have you heard about drugs in the drinking water? You can find out all about it at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336286,00.html . It is not enough that we are being drugged by eating meat that has been shot up with steroids, growth hormones and antibiotics, now we can't drink water either. Check out the article.

Send me comments and questions about any of these items or anything else on your mind.
