Is John Kerry having a stroke?
Does he live in an alternate universe?
Or, is he just trying to live out his fantasy as a Bible-thumping preacher?
Via Breitbart: Kerry: Scripture Commands USA to Protect Muslim Countries From Global Warming
Wednesday at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was the United States’ Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change,” including to protect “vulnerable Muslim majority counties.”
Yep, according to Kerry, it’s right there, somewhere, in the Book of Genesis.
John Kerry: windsurfer, windbag, and now…biblical scholar.

Wikip: …Kerry won many debates against other college students from across the nation. In March 1965, as the Vietnam War escalated, he won the Ten Eyck prize as the best orator in the [Yale] junior class for a speech that was critical of U.S. foreign policy. In the speech he said, “It is the spectre of Western imperialism that causes more fear among Africans and Asians than communism and thus, it is self-defeating.”
Kerry, earlier this year: “Some people believe that people ought to be able to only do what they say they ought to do, or to believe what they say they ought to believe, or live by their interpretation of something that was written down a thousand plus, two thousand years ago. That’s not the way I think most people want to live.”…The press office of the State Department declined to parse Kerry’s remarks… http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/kerry-religion-not-way-i-think-most-people-want-live_789066.html
Western imperialism equaling global warming, I can understand. His ‘pivoting’ from don’t follow the Bible to the Bible tells us to do this, I can understand. Being the best orator in his class at Yale? I’m going with the State Dept. declining to parse Kerry’s remarks.
Gasp! Religious extremism. Where are the separation-of-Church-and-State police?
*Excellent* point, Pat_S !
Lets see, Muslims didn’t appear on the earth until the 7th century.I think the Bible had already been written for centuries before that. Kind of a stretch there.
Typical of the Demoncrats (not a typo), replacing truth to promote their agenda.I’ll tell you what though, I’ll protect a Muslim’s right to choose not to slaughter.
And I’ll be glad to protect their right to be slaughtered.. or at least leave this country of ours.
Pure stupidity at the top rounded out by a press with nothing better than: “both sides are at fault” puts us in the ditch in a world that seems determined to keep us there and an administration that acts like we belong there.
Well, Secretary Kerry…I assume you’re referring to this passage from Genesis. First of all, God tells Abraham not to worry about it, but that HE’S going to take care of Ishmael. Secondly, Muslims didn’t appear on the scene until 700 years after the establishment of the church, so there’s really “no there there” in your argument.
11-13 The matter gave great pain to Abraham—after all, Ishmael was his son. But God spoke to Abraham, “Don’t feel badly about the boy and your maid. Do whatever Sarah tells you. Your descendants will come through Isaac. Regarding your maid’s son, be assured that I’ll also develop a great nation from him—he’s your son, too.”
14-16 Abraham got up early the next morning, got some food together and a canteen of water for Hagar, put them on her back and sent her away with the child. She wandered off into the desert of Beersheba. When the water was gone, she left the child under a shrub and went off, fifty yards or so. She said, “I can’t watch my son die.” As she sat, she broke into sobs.
17-18 Meanwhile, God heard the boy crying. The angel of God called from Heaven to Hagar, “What’s wrong, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. God has heard the boy and knows the fix he’s in. Up now; go get the boy. Hold him tight. I’m going to make of him a great nation.”
19 Just then God opened her eyes. She looked. She saw a well of water. She went to it and filled her canteen and gave the boy a long, cool drink.
20-21 God was on the boy’s side as he grew up. He lived out in the desert and became a skilled archer. He lived in the Paran wilderness. And his mother got him a wife from Egypt.
The Message (MSG)
“Do whatever Sarah tells you” — one of my fav passages 🙂
Kerry is right. It’s all there in Genesis: (1) Noah’s flood, (2) the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire and brimstone, (3) the seven years of famine — all early evidence of global climate change.
The Tower of Babel? Bush’s fault.
Clearly, he’s quoting from the gospel according to Lurch, Liberal version.
Freak
Is John Kerry smokin’ the same crap as the king?
No, methinks he IS smoking the kings crap!
Truly this is cause for a head explosion. where is my duct tape?
Obviously Kerry gets his Biblical insight from the movie “Noah”
As a Catholic I don’t think anything disturbs me more than a pro-abortion Catholic spouting from the bible. Oh the hypocrisy. God will sort it all out in the end.
I agree with Walkstar.
That’s not global warming it’s the warm fuzzies they get when Preezy telegraphs weakness.
