Why Did They Lie To Us About Global Warming?

I'm currently writing a new book for a doctorate degree. The title is River of God: Understanding the Source of the World's Major Religions and Why Only One of Them Can Be True. The book is about truth--and one of the chapters I'm working on is about its opposite--lies.

The Best About Marriage

The defining issue of the 19th century was slavery. It took 250 years to change the hearts of the American nation and get it right--at the cost of 600,000 lives.

Abortion was the paramount moral issue of the 20th century. In the United States, we have killed over 56 million children since 1973. We have yet to stop this profound evil against our own progeny, but the tide is turning and victory may be in sight.

Today I make an exception and ask you to deeply consider fowarding the following words to every pastor or spiritual leader that you know personally.

I didn't write this letter. But I consider it a "Wittenberg Door" moment that is desperately needed to halt the destruction of many lives and an entire civilization.

The following article begs you to get involved in the seminal  cultural issue of the 21st century--the redefinition of marriage. Will you twittle your thumbs while Rome burns or will you grab a fire-hose and start putting out the flames?

What will you do?
