Why do fundamentalist christians have problems with?
1. Environment/Global Warming? These are not in any way 'anti bible'..they don't conflict with any of Jesus' teaching. They are supported by so much science, that even George W. Bush finally admits it is a real problem....but I routinely see far right conservative christians claiming global warming is a hoax...and frankly the conservative christians and the oil companies are about the ONLY people still claiming it is a hoad...why?
2. Social programs: I see conservative christians bash these all the time. I thought charity was a big part of Jesus teachings? Not to mention when you shout 'it is socialism', I have to wonder if you read the book of Acts where the early church sold everything and lived in common (that is out and out communism). So why are you against social spending?
It seems to me that 'conservative christians' are more republican than they are christian...can someone explain this too me?

No, you got it right, they are republicans with a "Christian" label. This is due to the fact that the religious right began active political participation from mostly republican southern states.

1. There is archaeological Evidence that there was Global warming 1,000 of years ago and back then they did not have cars and factories. These are cycles changes in the earths climate.
2. Jesus never taught to give to charity, He only said to certain people to give up your riches and follow Me, showing that material things are less than following Jesus. He would say give up those things and give it to the poor and follow me. The main things that Jesus taught was to teach, preach, lay hands on the sick and cast out demons in His name. We do this as often as we can.
The world is going in a direction that is dictated by man's own thinking and it is not of God's way, just like it states in the bible, that there is going to be a great falling away from the truth of the bible (God's word) and necessary people leaving the church,

Look at the great Liberal State of California.
They are bankrupt and pleading to the federal government to bail them out. Mostly due to their over expenditures due to "Social" programs.
Everyone wants a handout. The Book of Acts also describes the limitations on social giving.
Global warming is a smoke screen for pork barrel programs in the works.

I'll tell you why
2. Christian 'giving' is based on the call to that person. The govn't only knows how to tax and spend, - it doesn't have an emotion like generosity. It's just a redistribution of income, - without true accountability.
1. The mother earth / tree huggers want more govn't intrusion into even the cars we buy. Mars is getting warmer too. We've been getting warmer since the last ice age. Earth first, - then we'll solve Mars' problem. Their shouts of "we need to do something" is the song sung by Big govn't and more state run programs.

They're nothing but cult members and brainwashers?
But I feel kind of sorry for them. They're obviously still seeking. They haven't really found what it means to TRULY have a relationship with God.

i don't think they say that global warming is a hoax, but that it is not man made and there are a LOT of scientists that believe global warming is natural, but the media does not choose to say that.

It is simply man's way of control. Wake up.
