Right-wing pastor Robert Jeffress appeared on Todd Starnes radio program yesterday, where he told climate change activist Greta Thunberg to read the Bible and stop worrying about the imaginary crisis of global warming because God has promised never to destroy the world with rising sea levels.
Jeffress kicked things off by bragging that he had just come from hearing our tremendous president give a blockbuster speech on religious freedom at the United Nations.
It was absolutely tremendous, Jeffress said. The only thing more fun than listening to him is listening to the liberals whine that he had the audacity to skip the climate summit. I tell people all the time, This president is brilliant. He decides to skip attending a session on an imaginary crisisclimate changeand instead he chooses to lead his own conference on a very real problem, global persecution.
Starnes readily agreed, dismissing this whole global warming, tree-hugging fiasco as useless because there is nothing to it. They may as well hold a commission hearing on the Tooth Fairy or Bigfoot.

Believing in a magical being without sufficient evidence allows you to believe in anything without evidence.

[11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
[12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
[15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
[17] And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
If you take God at his Word, he said he wouldn't kill everything. He's given himself one Hell of a loophole there.
