Sadly, the devolution of Christian churches continues apace.
Some in Australia have teamed up to fight climate change by singing rewritten
carols this Christmas season. The Pitt
Street Uniting Church, for example, can be seen and—unfortunately—heard singing
their revised version of “Joy to the World” online:
Cool
down the world, the time has come, for targets tight and fair
Let
petrol, oil, and coal, prepare to go
Let’s
fund renewables
Let’s
fund renewables
Let’s
fund, let’s fund renewables
The birth of Christ and eternal
life vs. funding renewables…pretty much on par. Joy to the world, wind power is
here!
Except that investing in “green” energy is
costing cities, states and taxpayers lots of money. Take Georgetown, Texas, for
instance, a city ironically lauded in Al Gore’s movie “Inconvenient Truth.” An
attempt to utilize wind and solar power to supply this small town with all its
energy needs ended up costing the burg nearly $7
million. But I digress.
PSUC’s own website describes its
congregation as a “progressive faith community of justice-seeking friends,”
while something called the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change
(ARRCC? They’re gathering up the
consonants two by two, apparently) assembled a songbook called “Carols
Against Coal.” This new songbook is perhaps not as devout as traditional ones,
as, in place of “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Away in a Manger” and “Hark! The Herald
Angels Sing,” it features “O Come All Ye Miners,” “Away in a Coal Mine” and “Hush!
Our Solar Panels Sit.” There is also, apparently, a cutesy climate change
version of “Silent Night.” I didn’t have the stomach to listen to or read the
lyrics to that one.
Said the leftists to the GOP
Do you see what we see?
Reaching towards the sky, GOP
Do you see what we see?
A plant, a plant
Smoking in plain sight!
With a stack that’s tall and a blight
With a stack that’s tall and a blight
Do you see what we see?
Reaching towards the sky, GOP
Do you see what we see?
A plant, a plant
Smoking in plain sight!
With a stack that’s tall and a blight

Said the Democrats to the country rubes
Do you fear what we fear?
(Do you fear what we fear)?
Coming by-and-by country rubes
Do you fear what we fear?
(Do you fear what we fear)?
The heat, the heat!
Warming up the seas
Bringing us flooding and disease
Bringing us flooding and disease
Do you fear what we fear?
(Do you fear what we fear)?
Coming by-and-by country rubes
Do you fear what we fear?
(Do you fear what we fear)?
The heat, the heat!
Warming up the seas
Bringing us flooding and disease
Bringing us flooding and disease
Said the Democrats to conservatives
You don’t know what we know
You don’t know what we know
(You don’t know what we know)
Clinging to your God and your guns
You don’t know what we know
(You don’t know what we know)
It’s mild, It’s mild!
It’s nowhere near as cold
You must quit all mining when told
You must quit all mining when told
You don’t know what we know
(You don’t know what we know)
It’s mild, It’s mild!
It’s nowhere near as cold
You must quit all mining when told
You must quit all mining when told
