This is what your God wants?

The last great trees hundreds of years old, the anchors of one of the last great forests in northwest America, "one of the richest terrestrial ecosystems in the hemisphere," are to be cut down for the short-term gain of some big company? Trees that cannot be replaced for many centuries, especially if the forest that sustains them dies, all for money and politcal gain? All made possible by the Bush administration's deliberate changes in environmental and forest management policy.

This is the new moral order, bringing God back into policy making? This is what your God wants?

New sales reignite timber battles / Bush allows harvest of larger, older trees in northern counties

And while other nations are working to stop harming the last whales with loud noises used for military sonar devices--these creatures, the closest species to humans in the ocean, who depend on sound like we depend on sight--- when there is no war on any ocean, nor any active ocean-going enemies, but the U.S. refuses to cooperate or to stop its own damaging practices---this is what your God wants? Trees don't matter, forests don't matter, ecosystems don't matter, whales don't matter, the oceans don't matter, Iraqi children don't matter, not even American soldiers matter---Republican fat cats are the only species that matter. This is what your God says?
