The Christian churches have said goodbye to Christianity. They see patriarchal and familial Christianity, the Trinity conspiracy theory, and the reactionary doctrine of an out-of-this-world kingdom as outmoded. They replaced the trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with a triad of climate apocalypticism, genderism and identity politics. Not a cross, but a refusal on grounds of climate justice to pave the way to heaven, which is strictly lauded in the world as a climate-neutral society. The churches have chosen as their new god the climate they now worship with joy.

Every century has its own irrationalism, which is always totalitarian because it knows no rationality. The new irrationalism of the 21st century is climate worship. “The climate issue is one that we face at all levels of our church, from the congregation to the EKD,” said Anna-Nicole Heinrich, 26, President of the EKD. Heinrich predicts more accurately than you may realize: “We are a church, an ever-changing, ever-adapting community…” In the spirit of the times. Now the church is not only conforming to, but completely subservient to the religion of the neo-pagan climate. Always and continually worshiping climate, thinking about climate in everything you do, so that you don’t destroy the climate, is the opening, so to speak, of the new catechism of the climate church.

Of course, “butterflies and insects” are not becoming rare, and “birds are disappearing” not because of the wind farm vanes, but because of the metaphysical entity “summer glory with heat waves and lack of rainfall”, as puts it by The chairman of the council of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Annette Kurschus, , is bold as a fool, but with a strong belief in climate. Because the climate is furious about our mistakes, about the great sin of the wicked and sinners of the northern hemisphere, which has so horribly violated the children of the southern hemisphere climate gods. EKD’s climate healer, Kühnbaum-Schmidt, supports the President of the Council with a new dogma: Global climate justice also plays a role in this.

A very large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions are due to a wealthy minority of the world’s population. “Those who are suffering the most from the consequences of climate change are the least responsible for it – it is now being seen dramatically in Bangladesh and India.” At this point, Kühnbaum-Schmidt redefined faith as the attitude that must be adopted after successfully denying knowledge. Because in reality, i.e. excluding the climate church, China and India, as Kühnbaum-Schmidt points out, accounted for 30.3 percent and 6.8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, while highly developed Germany only accounted for 1.8 percent. emission. This puts Germany behind China, the United States, India, Russia, and Japan. That China and India, which together account for nearly 40 per cent of emissions, are the least “responsible” for climate change, we must believe with better knowledge. Floods in Bangladesh, alluded to by climate healers, are even the opposite of climate change, namely climate constancy.

With the conversion to climate churches, churches have also given up claims of transcendence. Instead of seeing the perspective of the empire beyond this world, they fought like a political party, like an ideological pressure group for inner worldly salvation. His new salvation is now called climate justice, the paradise of climate neutral societies. The Synod of the Church of the North stated: “Together with the “Church for the Future” alliance, ZMÖ also urges church actors to make climate protection and climate justice more important than ever. “Current climate protection measures are far from sufficient. The time has come. for us as a church to step up and take part of our responsibilities,” said the collective cry.

And Anna-Nicole Heinrich set the direction: “Actually, we have to find a new role in how we support this movement as a whole, the fight for climate protection, the fight for global climate justice. And I’m looking forward to thinking together on the EKD, together with the churches. members, along with many Christians, what role the church can play and where can the church be an enabler for us to walk this path of walking well together.” The road to the Klimakirche, the way away from Christ.

Anne-Nicole Heinrich wanted to make it easier for Christians to say goodbye to Christ and Christianity: “And it’s important that we just want to make this change. And really go in there undaunted, don’t get too attached and hold on to things that don’t exist anymore, but instead focus on what we could have done differently, everything new. And have fun with it and look forward and don’t look back too much.” Just don’t cling to the Trinity, to the idea of ​​transcendence. Far from our beliefs, away from our lives, and finally having fun with – yes, with what exactly? What pleasures – apart from masochism – can one in the robe of repentance have?

In addition to the Christian churches, there are many sects, such as Fridays for Future or the “Last Generation” sect, which are reminiscent of the Savonarola children’s police force. It is surprising how the fear of a cruelly punishing God, which we overcame in the Enlightenment, has now spread to climate religion, that we must sacrifice prosperity, happiness, and the future. The church used to limit the fanatics who thought they were resurrected and elected, now supports them. It also supports hysteria that makes children bigots, makes them unhappy and jeopardizes children’s well-being:

The climate church sends out legions of repentant preachers. New formulas of faith, anathema to heretics and enemies of faith, known as climate deniers, are tirelessly coined by well-financed political scientists, theologians, and climate mystics. It’s about transformation, about redistribution on a large scale. A “more climate-friendly redistribution” can only mean that it is taken from the “Global North” family to distribute it in the Global South or to people in the Global South. In essence, the policies of the Greens and their new proclamation of the climate church led to the looting of German families, the “Global North” families, boldly extorting indulgences from them. In a tweet, Göring-Eckardt revealed what it was all about, using a Freudian slip: “We need #redistribution from the ground up and not the other way around.”

He then corrected his actual escape statement and changed it to: We need #redistribution from top to bottom and not the other way around. with north and south.

When irrationalism becomes government policy

In the style of a medieval penitent preacher, Göring-Eckardt reads: “Fossil addiction has made us dependent on dictators, we are not resilient, the nature of global dependence has made us captives of prosperity.” Göring-Eckardt wanted Germany to be freed from the captivity of prosperity wanting to be free. And because he could not prove his irrational claims, he preached in a tone like Moses and also counterfactual: “Mankind is feeling the consequences of what they have caused: destruction, desertification, floods. We have to explain to ourselves: we burden others with the consequences of our lives, economies and actions in rich industrialized countries – nature, the people of the Global South, a species that is disappearing forever. Track. forever. The way we live today makes the earth desolate and empty, and in the long run it will cause our planet to collapse.”

The problem, of course, is not that our way of life makes the planet empty, but rather, that our way of life makes it too full of resources. But this awareness avoided Göring-Eckardt and Klimakirche like a devil avoided holy water. To think about it means to face the real world’s problems. In contrast, Göring-Eckardt demands “that we adapt our immigration laws accordingly… We must promote the idea of ​​climate passports for climate deprived people internationally… We should also consider placing people displaced by disaster under additional cover.” How many people are displaced by climate that Göring-Eckardt talks about? Of millions? Of billions? Does he even know what he’s talking about? Do climate enlightened people need to know what they are talking about? They just need to feel that they are right. The EKD is also actively encouraging the migration of more people into Germany’s social system by supporting the so-called marine rescue.

This is how you create a new church with a new faith through climate apocalyptic religion – and, incidentally, new people.
