Rich Hell, Poor Paradise



Peruvian Paradise   (Photo by Corey Spruit)
Although the road to heaven is not paved with gold, Peruvian miners did not get that memo.

They are therefore ripping apart the Amazon jungle in order to dig for treasure.  Ignoring Jesus’ warning that it’s tough for a rich man to enter heaven, these Gaia rapists prefer “a hell of riches to a poor paradise.”

Pope Francis visited this hellhole in order to plead Mother Nature’s case.  He urged the neighboring children to pursue “a way of life based on care and not destruction of everything standing in the path to our greed.”
