I mean, it seems to me that the people who would claim to be highly religious are the same ones screaming the loudest that we shouldn’t do anything to curb environmental degradation. It’s not our place, it’s all “natural”, this is not god’s kingdom, the earth is merely a filling station, etc. Yet, when you read what some of the scenarios are, they sound an awful lot like what will happen if we do nothing to address our environmental crisis. And I’m not just talking about global warming; I mean they despise any kind of attitude that suggests the earth has inherent value and should be protected just for the sake of it. Yet, they will want to point and “See, I told you so. God is real and this is the end and ha-ha all you other people are gonna burn.” Will religion destroy the earth?
chris: see? you’re what’s wrong with this country

cookie: i’m well aware of what a self-fulfilling prophecy is, thank you. what you don’t seem to realize is that it’s also closely tied to perspective. what you call pride i call narcissism. picking up trash won’t save you, but it’s a start.

if gandalf or “the seal” had said a little more, they might have got it.

and finally, to trk, whom i will award ten points: that actually does make me feel a little better, as i love our earth like it was my own body. however, i would only urge you to look honestly and critically at your own life. are you sure you are not also one who brings ruin to the earth? are you so sure that you are meek, as required? i hope so…otherwise you’re a hypocrit
