Reasonable Discrimination

Is there any reason we should allow religious fundamentalists who believe that the Earth will eventually be destroyed in the Apocalypse to hold public office? There is no reason to expect them to support policies that provide long-term benefit to both the environment and society. In their minds all the matters is short term gains with little concern for eventual consequences. After all the whole thing is going to be torched anyway. Who cares if the water is undrinkable or the air unbreathable? Who cares if patterns of poverty or predation continue from generation? They don't. If they are faithful to their "God" they will escape the mess they make for the rest of us.
