She is a prime example of why beliefs fucking matter.
She is not alone in being against climate action, because even if you accept that we are affecting the climate, why would you support action to correct it if you think your god is going to give you a do-over one day? Or you believe your god would “never let it get that bad?” Or that you’ll simply be in heaven, so not your problem?
These notions aren’t unique to fundigelicals like her, either. They can be found even among more progressive forms of Christianity, too. So I say again, what you and others believe about reality matters.
