Letter: He asks only that we believe in Him

To the Editor:

Our government has resisted most of what our republic was started for, Obamacare being the most recent. Once upon a time we the people were respected and the result meant something. Now we have made it clear that the majority is not in favor of this government takeover of such a private area of our lives.

Congress is not listening, though they’ve received some 10 million pink slips, notices from the people. Enforcing this expensive health-care plan on the people is unconstitutional besides containing many policies adverse to us. Congress works for us, but they certainly don’t act like it.

America was once an innovative country, so since we have 25 percent of the world’s coal, from which we can make oil and gas, why are we not doing so? Instead, we buckle to the lie that the world is running out of oil, when truthfully oil is a renewable resource. Environmentalists make millions preventing our drilling for it.

Greenhouse gas emissions are another ridiculous waste of money. The purpose of the recent Copenhagen Climate treaty is to reduce greenhouse gases. The UN claims that crop-farming contributes 14 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The UN has it backwards; vegetation takes in greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) and emits oxygen which we need to breathe. Carbon dioxide is the gas of life.

Our creator is a God of such vast goodness that he would never leave weather to mankind. God created for us exactly the perfect surroundings here on earth. He asks only that we believe in Him and follow Him. We have turned from God, with the result of spiritual and national bankruptcy. Unless we’re willing to completely surrender to Christ, embracing His life, death and resurrection personally, we’ll have no hope of heaven.
