Ocasio-Cortez invokes Bible in response to White House on climate change
By Owen Daugherty - 01/23/19 06:23 PM EST
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) on Wednesday responded to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling her to leave climate change up to a “much higher authority†by invoking the Bible.
While not quoting specific verses, the freshman lawmaker invoked scripture in defense of her impassioned pleas to address climate change.
“Genesis 1: God looked on the world & called it good not once, not twice, but seven times,†she tweeted. “Genesis 2: God commands all people to 'serve and protect' creation.â€
"Leviticus: God mandates that not only the people, but the land that sustains them, shall be respected," she added.
“You shouldn’t need a Bible to tell you to protect our planet, but it does anyway," she wrote in a follow-up tweet.

"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart."

Oh, so if we're quoting Leviticus now...

A Marxist quoting the bible. She's like a serial killer quoting Miss Manners etiquette guide.

God didn't call upon us to SERVE and protect creation.
He called upon us to SERVE HIM.

Like I said in another post, watch her become bitter and lash out when she runs into real opposition to her ideas. Right now she’s been coddled a little bit. But that’s not gonna last forever
