Al Gore vs. Christianity

Politicians cannot win.  There is always another neo-con waiting in the wings with a pad and pencil, ready to turn any innocent statement into something completely the opposite.  Here are two variations of the theme where Al Gore, a devout Christian, is accused of trashing Christianity:

Subject: AL Gore re: Christianity

THE NOTORIOUS QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Refusing to accept the earth as our sacred mother, these Christians have become a dangerous threat to the survival of humanity. They are the blight on the environment and to believe in Bible prophecy is unforgivable."

--VP Al Gore, in his book
EARTH IN BALANCE, p.342

    

For Gore and other environmentalists, the Judeo-Christian faith is the source of ecological evil, from oil spills to global warming. He said, "Ignorant Christians who are afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief by refusing to accept that the earth is our sacred mother, Christians have become a dangerous threat to the survival of humanity ... blights on the environment."

You have to love the creativity of the neo-cons; both "quotes" are pure fabrication.  The comments attributed to Gore are so out there I can't even point to a true statement to disprove them.  At NO time did Al Gore ever write or utter these words.
