The Pope Says Atheists Are Responsible For Global Warming

This isn't satire from TheOnion.com, it's actually from Pope Ratzi.

“Is it not true that inconsiderate use of creation begins where God is marginalized or also where his existence is denied? If the human creature's relationship with the Creator weakens, matter is reduced to egoistic possession, man becomes the ‘final authority,’ and the objective of existence is reduced to a feverish race to possess the most possible.”

Terry Sanderson, President of the National Secular Society, has a great reply.

"This is rich coming from the leader of an organisation that has plundered the world to enrich itself. As he sits in his golden palaces, surrounded by unimaginable luxury and material wealth, he lectures the rest of us about restraint and greed. We have nothing to learn about environmentalism from this hypocrite."

Here are the top 7 environmentally sustainable countries, based on their 2005 ESI scores. They happen to be some of the least religious countries in the world:

1. Finland
2. Norway
3. Uruguay
4. Sweden
5. Iceland
6. Canada
7. Switzerland

I'd like to ask the Pope a question: The world population is approaching 7Billion people, isn't it about time for the catholic church to lift it's prohibition on condoms?
