Earth Day Celebration
Dear Friends of Forcing Change,
Christianity is to blame for our environmental woes, and Earth Day gives a chance to displace Christianity with a "new set of basic values." This is the essence of today's Earth celebration.
"No new set of basic values has been accepted in our society to displace those of Christianity. Hence we shall have a worsening ecologic crisis until we reject the Christian axiom..." - Lynn White Jr., The Environmental Handbook (prepared for the first "Earth Day").

Edinburgh boasts the largest pagan festival in Europe but what is responsible for paganism's modern rise? This talk was recorded in front of a packed audience during Edinburgh's Fringe Festival. It draws material from two other talks and articles:
The New Age is the fastest growing spiritual movement in the West. New Age philosophy, a complex mixture of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, the occult and humanism, is attracting millions of people who are shopping in the world's spiritual market place for what suits them best. The following true-life stories come from New Agers who were determined to discover the ultimate truth they were sure existed 'somewhere' in the maze of writings and experiences available to them: Inside The New Age Nightmare - By Randall N. Baer
Out of the Twilight Zone - By Paul James-Griffiths Enfield, London, England.
Sai Baba: Lord of the Air - By Tal Brooke Berkeley, California, USA.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:18-32
