Would Jesus vote green? III
There’s a whole range of possible emotional responses to these statistics: apathy, disbelief, curiosity, sorrow, fear, anger, suspicion, guilt, impotence, despair, grief, resolve, self-righteousness. And most of us probable feel some combination of these.
I wonder whether we mightn’t be able to broadly classify these responses into five groups under the following headings:
(a) ScepticismIn each case, I think there is something fundamentally correct about the response, but also something mistaken. In the following posts, I will take these five common responses as launching pads for considering Jesus’ own attitudes towards the earth.
(b) Sorrow
(c) Anger
(d) Guilt
(e) Fear

what about resignation and apathy?
Thanks for the link to the ted video. Very kewl.
Megan says the suburb is Manly or Bondi
What about a tad of frustration, lol? When I click on the link to the statistics it just takes me back to your post.
Paul - apologies - link fixed.
Benjamin - yeah, I would have done resignation/apathy as a 6th option, but the talk could only be so long - as it turned out, the first guy I talked to after I finished had that response and so I wish I'd addressed it more directly.
Good guess, Megan, but unfortunately, not correct.
Forest Lodge?
jm - nope.
Camperdown?
Sorry - not Camperdown. Good try. I guess you're keen to take back over Mike, who just moved in front of you by one point this morning... :-)
pyrmont
Marty - eight points.
