Michelle Malkin and CNS News reported:
In her April 22 Earth Day news release, Pelosi said, “The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.’ On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our children’s children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature.”
Too bad her quote is not in the Bible… The Christian Bible.

She even used this phony quote in her New Year’s Eve Speech in 2005 –with Audio. (screen grab condensed)
She’s used it in many of her speeches:
“As the Bible teaches us, to minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship, to ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.”
