And as with anti-Keystone protests past, faith groups lent visible support; their banners, prayers, and chants joining the estimated 40,000 peaceful protestors calling on President Obama to show climate leadership in his new term by vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline."

Bryan Fischer: Enormously insensitive to hurt Gods feelings by not using oil
Bryan Fischer, the director of issues analysis of the conservative fundamentalist American Family Association, on Thursday told a so-called expert who denies climate change that not using Gods fossil fuels would be like crushing someones feelings by rejecting their birthday present.
The Cornwall Alliances Calvin Beisner, who has previously said that believing in climate change is an insult to God, explained on Thursday that the Bible said it was also very rude to not use oil, coal and natural gas.

There must be so much money in being Bryan Fischer that it just doesn't really matter whether he can actual think or not.
