It appears that Earth Day and Good Friday fall on the same day in 2011. Does that leave a dilemma for some? Which should we celebrate? Or do we celebrate both? Earth Day originated after the decade of the 1960s. Some would say this decade has resulted in more ill for the Earth than any can remember. Prior to the 1960s, people had a sense of God, honor, and country. Since that time, all people can think of is themselves. They have made Self their god. This religion of Self has many outlets. One is radical environmentalism that is represented by events like Earth Day. Should we care for and maintain the Earth? Certainly. Should we make it a pillar of a religion of one's own making. Certainly not.
Today, even the tradition of showing up for church once each year has fallen out of favor...so we can spend more time on Self.
Which day wins? The one that celebrates the greatest day of all, the day the God-Man gave himself for us and died on a cross. Something truly worth celebrating.
