“God blessed Adam and Eve and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, fill the world and conquer it! Rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all animals that crawl on the ground.” This is from the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 1:28, my free translation from the Hebrew. Let us read another verse, Genesis 2:15. “The Lord God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to guard it.”
God has blessed the human race and commanded people to conquer the world. God has blessed America giving us plenty of oil for our needs for plastics, clothing, heating, and transportation. We all must be thankful and work hard, farming, mining, and drilling. We must drill everywhere so that we do not have to buy oil from other countries that hate the American way of life, such as Saudi Arabia. American leaders, such as President Obama and my Senators who are restricting drilling, are people spitting in God’s face, ignoring His blessings, and bringing a curse to America. We must do all we can to remove politicians who suggest moratoriums and restrictions on drilling for oil. We must do our best to remove them immediately without waiting for elections, in order to continue receiving God’s wonderful blessings.
Let us look at the next verse. The obligation of the human race is to “work it”, to work in the difficult and dangerous task of drilling for oil. When Obama says we should stop drilling for six months, he is asking us not to be human beings for six months. It is not human to ask the country to stop working for six months!
God commanded us “to guard it”. Major oil spills happen every decade or so. When they happen, we have to guard our country against damage. Governor Jindal of LA wanted to have skimmers and berms to prevent the marshlands from contamination. Jindal is doing his job of guarding the earth. Obama is not letting the skimmers and berms in near the state of LA. Obama is failing his job, as he is not guarding the marshlands. Since Obama is failing his human responsibility to guard the marshlands, he is not acting as a human being should act, and must be fired, and not allowed to continue with his inhuman activities.
Some say we are guarding the earth by cutting back on carbon dioxide. Since all people and animals exhale carbon dioxide, and we are commanded to multiply, we have to increase production of carbon dioxide in order to fulfill God’s commandment and receive His blessings. Those who say to cut back on carbon dioxide are bringing a curse to America and to the world. God is blessing us by giving us more energy to live, work, and to guard the earth.
