Christianity is destroying Hawaii, according to scathing commentary published in The Huffington Post, that argues a focus on the hereafter is averting local attention from eroding beaches and invasive species. 

What native Hawaiians have traded in for is a religion that, though it varies in its particulars from Catholic to Protestant to Mormon, unites in its focus on the hereafter. Who cares if this world goes to hell, so long as you go to heaven?

In fairness, I must add that the churches to which native Hawaiians today belong aren’t entirely indifferent to this world. But for the past two decades right up to the present day, their number one earthly priority is to fight gay marriage.

Author, Clay Farris Naff, goes on to write that “if old-time religion continues to share a political bed with the Denier Industry, future Hawaiian beach weddings will have to be conducted underwater.”
