Is climate change a sideshow or is is our response to it central to God's relationship to humanity?
I'm gonna go with sideshow, Ken.
Has God given us the minimum we need to make informed ethical choices - along with the freedom to choose to completely screw things up, not only for ourselves but for future generations?
Um, yes.
Will God intervene if we choose wrong or leave us and future generations to suck it up?
I don't think God will intervene in any noticeable way.
And is God okay with influential religious voices counting themselves competent to do the assessing and making the choice on behalf of their flock, supplanting individual choice with their own?
I dunno. But if the leaders are acting like they're speaking for god, then blaspheming the holy spirit comes to mind.
Would that be a sin of the leaders or of the followers or both?
The leaders.
Weird questions....
