I might suggest that any Christian theology or ethic that believes human beings are too puny to affect the planet’s ecosystem, that God will not let anything bad happen to us; that anything that happens (good or evil) is the result of God’s direct will and purpose, that social ethics and morality are unimportant, that gay marriage and judicial activism are the key values issues in 2008, or that nothing must be done to hinder or regulate the free market, is part of the problem, not part of the solution. That attitude needs to change before it is too late. For evangelicals, our responsibility is great indeed.
