God as Weapon
An interesting article on religions fighting global warming, but more interesting, I think, as an example of a utilitarian reading of God from a science journal. Why is religion not a complete waste? Oh look! It gets these religious folks to do religious things. God as weapon; God as social improver; God as opium. Whatever: it’s the same principle. God only makes sense as a means.
God is an end though. At least, that’s what I hope anyways.
