alienated said, "Some think Conservatives, who are often times Christians (especially in the minds of Liberals), do not care about the earth because we talk about heaven so much. That could be somewhat true, but I do think the converse is true: Liberals want to make the best of this world because they think this is all there is. The thing that amuses Conservatives, about Liberals, is they are arrogant enough to think that humans can destroy the world."
See the problem? Of course, he's wrong. One important detail, people say "destroy the world", but we mean different things by that. Those of us concerned about the environment are concerned about the future of humanity. We most certainly can destroy civilization as we know it by setting off every nuclear bomb. That's an extreme, but there is also a very real possibility that we'll make human existence miserable.
But, if one believes that Jesus is coming back, possibly soon, and bring with it final judgement, then why worry about the long term health of our environment? Alien basically says this, and that's a serious problem don't you think?
To take some old book and conclude that we don't have to worry about the long term health of the environment because of some vague passages, with no evidence other than an absolute evidence free belief in the inerrancy of that old book. If this view is common, and it is, it most certainly is a negative for our society. Don't you think?
Perhaps he stands outside with a sign that reads, "The end is near" while he's not posting and commenting on here. Or sitting in his house in his Sunday best waiting for the rapture.
If he stops posting after May 21st, then we all know what happened. ;)
