I love the religious overtones of this, especially as I was brought up devout Christian and have a good familiarity with the Old Testament prophets and the Book of Revelation.

Here, the author is warning us of the promised false prophets and deceivers, who do the work of the Enemy in its long and shadowy struggle with The Science. Only those who follow the True Path will enlighten humanity, navigate our pending Doom, and guide us into the prosperous Green Age.

The author is also guilty of the very same crime she accuses others of in claiming that what we should be focusing on necessarily is big oil. That even philosophy professors can make these mistakes shows how tricky it is.

How devout is your christianity currently?

Negative.

I have no idea what argument this comment is trying to make. All the comments in this thread seem to be pretty wild, so this is probably another one of those "Hacker News becomes unhinged when you bring up topic X" situations.

I don't think they're trying to make an argument, just broadly observing that the article has some similarities to some Biblical themes.

I didn't see it as unhinged or wild, just a very tame observation. I'm curious what part of their comment bothered you so much?
