New in PJ Media:
For the Left, it works both ways. Last year, woke students at Duke Divinity School proclaimed that “God is queer,” and for Leftists, the reverse is also true: “queerness,” along with the rest of the Left’s agenda, including climate hysteria, the vaccines, race obsessions, and every other aspect of the Left’s obsessions, are for them a god. Leftism today is a religion, a sad and tatty substitute for genuine religion, but a religion nonetheless, an all-consuming preoccupation and a prism through which the devotee sees and understands all things. The University of Helsinki confirmed this anew on Monday by announcing that it was giving climate hysteric Greta Thunberg an honorary doctorate…in theology. As David Strom said over at HotAir, “Climate Change is a religion. We all know that.” Yes, and it’s just part of the Left’s worship.
Now, once one accepts the Greta mythology, the idea of her getting an honorary doctorate is not much of a step beyond what the believer has already swallowed. If someone actually thinks that Greta Thunberg is a precocious child who has been speaking her own thoughts and giving her own opinions, and that she actually has something of substance to contribute to the pressing issues of the day, then it’s no problem at all for a university to give her some kind of honorary degree in The Science. Give her a degree in “climate science” or “atmospheric studies” or something. But instead, the wise Finns decided to give Greta a theology degree, and that’s telling. It’s out in the open now. At least at the University of Helsinki, they don’t seem to care if people realize that the Left is not about rationality and logical thought, but about false gods of their own imagining.
Nor are the solons of the University of Helsinki by any means the first Leftists to make a religion out of their delusions. Former (haha) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Smirnoff) back in 2021 gave thanks to her god for his salvific sacrifice. No, not Jesus, silly. Did you really fall for that business about her being a Catholic? No, Pelosi prayed to her real savior: “Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice.” A few months after that, Catholic University joined the cult by displayed a painting of George Floyd as Jesus.
Like climate change, George Floyd worship is just one aspect of the Left’s religion. New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-Planned Parenthood) revealed in September 2021 that the COVID vaccines were a kind of sacrament: “I prayed a lot to God during this time, and you know what – God did answer our prayers. He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers – he made them come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us and we must say, thank you, God.
There is more. Read the rest here.

In my opinion, it’s a worthless statement. The child is ignorant, and over-indulged by those who pretend she knows something and that the rest of us need to listen to her.
It’s all just a lot of hot air. And yet, I also agree with Mr. Spencer; they have made themselves ‘gods’ in their own eyes and the rest of us are supposed to bow down to them in submission.
This *religion* which is not True, which leaves out the Words and Commandments of the True God, is a false religion from satan the devil.
Deodata says
Hope her truant officer has changed careers, he was obviously useless at getting Greta to go to school.
If she is ever asked something that is off script she is lost, just goes to show she is an ignorant mouthpiece.
maria says
Greta is very ill her autism is worse and worse. Besides, she has another metal illness ADHD.
Her mother and her sister has the same illnesses.
She is a danger when she has her fits.
Only mentally disturbed people can give honorary titles to her.
Cachafaz says
Statistically, people with physiological illnesses that affect the mind (Parkinson, Dementia, Epilepsy, out of control Diabetes, Schizophrenia, etc.), are far more likely to be endangered by others, than to be a danger to others.
Please stop adding to the stigmatization of mental/brain illness.
Mental illness are NOT behavioral issues..
somehistory says
“Evidence Supports Link Between Schizophrenia, Violent Crime”
“”Patients with schizophrenia are significantly more likely than those in the general community to commit homicide offenses,” said Ogloff and colleagues in the report.”
You might want to read the full report on the studies on the subject of schizophrenia..

Parkinson’s causes physical problems. It is not mental, even though some patients get depressed.
The same is true of epilepsy and diabetes.. In fact, any illness can cause the patient to be depressed.
VictorMc says
An honorary doctorate huh?
She nears treatment first in a mental institution before she stands for Parliament which is a cert. OMG….
Cachafaz says
How do you know?
Nick says
Your a leftist lunatic. Shut your dumb mouth. And stop parroting leftist talking points about Greta thunberg and mental illness
gravenimage says
My understanding is that Greta Thunberg was *almost* sent to mental hospital:

Politicians, the world over, are all the same.
Arrogant “elite”
liars low life weasel`s
immoral
thieves
con artist`s
power hungry
murderer`s
And , it`s all our fault. We allowed then to get away with it.
JCA Reid says
A tad hypocritical giving a religious degree toa self proclaimed Communist. Idiots!!
Cachafaz says
Right! It is funny. And absurd.
Charles Valenzuela says
Wow, that’s real bargain, eh? It used to cost all of $10 to purchase a “divinity degree”. You know, like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton? Yeah. So school dropout Greta the Soros Shill gets hers for free? How wonderful. Retarded dropouts with “divinity degrees”.
OLD GUY says
Well at least she is one lefty that we won’t have to pay off her student loans
Rob says
The poster girl for fetal alcohol syndrome gets an honorary degree? How ridiculous is that?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It must be fun being Greta. She hardly attends school/college, just doing full time activism, and in return for that, she gets a docctorate, no less!
It’ll be hilarious when the day arrives that she’s cancelled: don’t laugh, it’s happened to a whole bunch of Leftists for a variety of reasons. Wokism loves devouring its own, and when it does, it’s fun to watch

A couple of relatively short videos that I believe that Jihad Watch readers will find interesting. Proof positive that the “religion” of climate change has gone off the rails.
Dr. Lewis relates to Sen. Ron Johnson that if the United States stopped all CO2 emissions today, temperatures over the next 100 years would decrease global warming by only 2/10th of 1°C.

And Sen. Grassley (a very sharp octogenarian) looks at the impact of coastal developments and carbon taxes. Note that extreme weather over time has shown no long-term trend. And very aggressive carbon taxing would be economically devastating.

Thanks for those links, James.
Wellington says
Orwell contended that everyone by fifty has the face they deserve.
Thunberg didn’t have to wait till fifty or anywhere near that. I mean just look at that face of hers. Kinda’ says it all.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Her countenance does NOT suggest that she is a happy, well-adjusted young woman.
Something else is definitely going on.

Yes, Leftism Is a Religion: University Gives Greta Thunberg an Honorary Doctorate in Theology
………………………………….
Usually honorary degrees are offered to those of great achievement much over college age. Greta Thunberg is neither.

But wait – there is more. Kylie Minogue was awarded a PhD too … in raising awareness for breast cancer.

In America has separation and state welcomes all faiths worldwide & allows anyone is welcome to create their own custom religion based groups. We are not surprised or shocked there is around 41,000 different made up christian religions in America causing the rest of world confusion since last 300 years, We will just add them to pagan religions lists as we have documented last 2000 years.
