This is just not the way to go. IMO


DES MOINES, Iowa - Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday that his religious beliefs influence his plans for how to protect the environment.

Speaking before religious leaders and others at what he called an "interfaith forum on climate change," the Illinois senator said God has entrusted humans with the responsibility of caring for the earth, and "we are not acting as good stewards of God's earth when our bottom line puts the size of our profits before the future of our planet."

That sounds pretty silly to me.

It's impossible to be an effective leader of a country when everyone thinks you are stupid.

Is that any worse than religious beliefs influencing who we go to war with?

My religious beliefs tell me that we should reduce our pollution, but my scientific beliefs don't provide much evidence that we have polluted enough to make a big dent in the environment.
