Suppose we allow the weather to get so bad it kills every human on the planet, will god give a crap?

In the book of Revelation the divine anger seems to also fall upon [b]"those who destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18) .
" And the nations became angry, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged ... and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
I always considered that and an indication that God cared for the way human beings treated the earth.[/b]

Originally posted by sonhouseReally, do you have to talk like that? First of all, At what point in your development did you decide upon the fact that God spends his every hour watching over us.? You have no idea what he is capable. The creation of this Universe and all we envision it's depth to be may just be a peanuts effort in it;s creation compared to what he may be creating now somewhere else one hundred billion trillion light years away. He may very well have created this environment we have been fostering,nurturing,blowing up etc etc for a billion years now andall along he's been off creating other worlds with entirely different development stages ,scenarios in their respective dna's that we can't begin to fathom with respect to their respective complexities. God may be on the return tour to check on all the worlds he's created and how we have all so elegantly messed them up or did the right thing. Maybe he never comes back , maybe he knows that the particular uniques set of circumstances he left this world in it's infancy didn't stand a chance of doing nothing but eventually destroying ourselves (which it appears that you would enjoy,Unless i am not reading you correctly and if that;s the case consider this an apology... or this earth that most of us love to live on is and has been all along his (GOD) greatest creation... And.. if that's the case then we are all living the dream and i can't wait to wake up tomorrow and say thanks God for another day! blue sky ,dusty trails and big green trees! big b.

Originally posted by big bernAnd when we kill off all the trees and the new Earth has no seas, what do we do for water? Sounds like Mars to me. BTW, my first 8 years were spent in a Lutheran school, I think I read the bible as much as anyone else. I just don't buy it anymore. The older I get the more rediculous the whole story sounds. For instance, the whole story is just warmed over Horus, who died and came back three days later, sound familiar? Your religion is plagiarized from another religion a couple of thousand years older.

Excerpts from article on Jesus being a copycat of Horus:

I will not argue that there are some similarities to Horus, but to glibly brush it aside as a copy cat religion is absurd. In fact, even without the similarities, where are the timeless teachings about love bein ...[text shortened]... ble to mere fantasy. Perhaps that is why 3 of the main world religions are rooted in the Bible.

People liked the way the Horus thing played out, so the Jesus myth got started the same way.
Originally posted by jaywillUm, I'm not sure about this Horus thing, but I wouldn't call sonhouse "gullible" .
