Reply #9: Why take care of the Earth? [View All]

[ClintonTyree]

They're all going to be "raptured" any minute now so it won't make any difference. Use as much oil as you possibly can. Violate the Earth anyway you want to. It doesn't matter. They're all going to heaven and this planet will be "left behind".

Seriously, I know quite a few fundamentalist christians who actually believe this. Global warming, pollution etc. mean nothing to them. They say that god gave them dominion over the Earth and they can do anything they want with it. Doesn't matter because they'll be floating on a fluffy white cloud, looking down on all the "evil" people who are wailing and gnashing their teeth because they sinned in the eyes of the lord. :puke:

It's impossible to point out their hypocrisy to them. These people are extremely dense and myopic. It's people like this who've bolstered my militant atheism. :banghead:
