Its wierd... I don't feel like my concern for the well-being of the planet we live on is comparable to my believing that Jesus died for our sins 2000 years ago, was resurrected into heaven, and now 'sits' (what, is he lazy?) at the right hand of the LORD.
They just don't seem like the same 'leaps of faith' from where I'm sitting... the former seems just good common sense, the latter a wild flight of fancy, a story... are they the same type of belief? Is the same leap of faith required to believe in Environmentalism (well-being of the planet) as Christianity (rising from the dead, angelic hosts, immaculate conception, heaven/hell, etc.)? I'm not convinced.
