Religious Person's View Of Life
Religious Beliefs: Ecologism
From the book, Science and Superstition
"But the strongest and most popular belief refuses to be called a religion. Its name: ecologism.
Under a worldly camouflage we have come to be dominat¬ed by a new natural religion.
Ecologistic dogmas have increasingly come to dominate public discourse on science,
environment, technology, and even politics. Their mantras are delivered by a mass media
which for three decades now has announced the imminent end of the world. In the early 1970s
it was predicted that the turn of the millennium would see the end of the world: by the year
2000 natu¬ral resources would have been exhausted, the trees would have died and many
other plant and animal species would have become extinct. The Americans Paul Ehrlich and
Dennis Meadows, the German Herbert Gruhl, the Austrian Robert Jungk and other prophets of
environmental doom were complimented by an endless stream of catastrophist headlines in
the newspapers. While none of the prophecies ever came true, the headlines nonetheless
became shriller and yet more catastrophic."
The novel The Shack is an upgraded version of Christianity with modern views of Ecologism
and multiculturalism added to the original Biblical version.
The book, An American Gospel
The author's father commits suicide. Refers to American Pragmatism as the only philosophy
originating in the US. Eric Reis.
