'I often wonder why it is that some of them are so antagonistic towards the environment that they believe their god created.'

Personally I have found that most Christians are far more conscious of the environment than most. What Christians object to is the false self righteous morality preached by many environmentalist in the name of science. Any thinking person can see that the crap dished up by the likes of Gore, Flannery and some on OLO is just that. Just happens that most Christians I know would rather do something practical in helping people than convincing people of their pseudo science conclusions (the very thing they accuse those who believe in creation). It just happens that these 'peace promoters' often turn out to be the most violent people in our nation (just look at the 'peaceful' environmental demonstrations).

Hello runner, you're not just John Howard posting via clever psuedenymn are you? You know, "power walker" = "runner" in nursing home speak?

Your bigotry knows no bounds.

Unquestioning love and obedience always,

'Your bigotry knows no bounds.' Unless you compare it with the fundamentalist secular humanist who can murder the unborn and claim their is nothing wrong with it or yourself who seems very quick to judge and slow to listen.

Wow runner(aka power walker), you are ON FIRE tonight (figuratively speaking of course).

Each piece of feedback appears to elicit another example of your bigotry.

How dreadfully un-Christian of you!

Look, you are either really stuck in your little world or a wonderfully wierd satirist, I would like to think the latter, so enjoy the rest of your day and love always,

t.

PS. don't live your life in fear of death my boy!

Hello Polycarp and runner.

Did you see my request for your opinions in my previous post on this thread? http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=8121#126923

I see the connection… or lack thereof… between religion and sustainability as being of the most fundamental importance.

Don’t you?

Thanks one under god for your response.

It’s good you agree that there really is no such thing as “evil” because you have the wisdom to see that original sin is not a reality. Since people are no different from their cousin, the monkey, and in the final analysis end up in the grave to be food for worms and creeping stuff, they must as well live for ourselves.

All the millions killed by the world’s great leaders (mistakenly called dictators by some) Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Omar al-Bashir (Sudan’s president, indicted for crimes against humanity), Milosevic and others down the century should be of no worry and concern to us (atheists) as they were acting out their belief system or, as Dawkins might say “they were dancing to their DNA”.

‘The universe we observe has … no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. … DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is. And we dance to its music.’ (Dawkins)

As Dawkins, the hope and savior of us atheists, has said, there is no such thing as evil, DNA is.

There are places in northern Thailand where one can indulge in all kinds of sex with children, infants, animals , etc. you name it, they have it. All one needs to do is to pay for these services. If one’s belief-system is to have kinky sex and yet be troubled by one’s conscience, the solution is to become an atheist. As Dawkin has assured us, there is no life after death. Divine retribution is just pure nonsense. Having a ‘conscience’ belongs only to the weak who believe there is a god or the supernatural.

We atheists have evolved into a higher order than the religionists, so our minds are cleared of ‘conscience’. Since we dance according to the dictates of our DNA, don’t fault us for anti-social behavior
