Here are a couple of reasons why I think we as humans should be punished by extermination:
1. Forgeting the teachings of the bible by having sex before marriage, killing other people for pleasure and money so we can survive, worshiping money instead of the bible, etc.
2. Slowly distroying our environment through deforestation, overfishing, pollution, global warming, etc.
3. Overpopulation which leads to the imbalance of the eco-system and killing off animals in the process.
4. Killing animals for money and pleasure, like hunting and fishing for pleasure, killing other animals for their skin such as fur, just so that people will know we are rich, etc.

There are many more reasons why I think we should all be punished and be exterminated, myself included. We are all sinners. Do you agree or disagree? And why.

Well well, Annihilate all of human existence by using the Holy Bible to justify your claims......

#1 sounds a lot like Sharia/Radical Islamic law. Millions would be killed in a great purge much like Stalin and Hitler.

#2,3,&4 are basically the ecological argument. However:

Genesis 1.26: ‘Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth”.’

Therefore, we are given the freedom to treat the earth the way we want to, for better or for worse.

We "ARE ALL" going to die someday or another, and thus God will be the judge whether our conduct was exemplery or absurd.

Therefore, there is no point to have mass extermination for:

#1. We are given permission by God to do whatever, for better or for worse.

#2. The World will be recreated after Judgement day.

#3 Such a purge will be labeled as a Mass Geno/Suicide, depending on the methods used.

#4 Christ already died for our sins. Thus, killing off others in the name of being sinners will be only murder and thus against our free will as human beings.

Are you crazy? Live and let live. When I was a kid in Catholic school I learned this phrase that I thought was so dumb at the time. Now I live by it and so do many others I have learned. Forgive. If you are that adamant about something--fight for it. We are part of the environment that has grown up around us. I am part of the first Earth people from the 70's. This stuff is not new-punishing people won't do-teaching eachother does work. I know. I have never littered, nor my children--that is a start.

You are evolving towards Orc. If humans can be improved as individuals, these symptoms will diminish. Humans need to be taught how to eat, use space, and clean themselves without a lot of company and support as well as be at least slightly literate. If you can change 2 or 5 towards this, such will have effects on overpopulation. The pain of not using the outdoors and reveling in the planet is obvious. Society is built to "keep us in", so its not way ruined. I hope the car statistics can slow down and clean up. Overall, I disagree on the premise of all human beings.

Actually doing those things the effect is the punishment, God doesn't need to punish us
we already punishing ourselves. Like having sex the consequence of that action is either Pregnancy or STD. Destroying the environment we are already suffering for it: polluted air, global warming and so on. Of course if the animals are gone there's nothing else to hunt so the effect will be our punishment. God doesn't have to do anything. It is a matter of cause and effect.

You seem to have a low-level of appreciation for what the Bible teaches.

No one has the authority to wish extermination on all people.

your point 2. "destroying our environment..." Please, define "environment". The air, water, soil, animals and plants? Wouldn't that include EVERYHTHING IN THE UNIVERSE? Say what you mean, instead of this cover-word "environment".

What is wrong with killing animals for money? I eat beef, and why should the rancher be demonized for making a profit when he sells his steer for butcher?

Sorry, but you don't seem to have a grasp of all the evil in the worl, and seem to vilify some things that don't deserve it, and presume that you or some book has the authority to determine who should live or die...

GOD may be the final judge, but I won't go there because no one else's opinion matters on that subject.

None of us deserve to be alive, but Jesus died for us nonetheless and became like a new Father for us. Since Adam sinned, we inherited that sin like a hereditary terminal illness. As the appointed King of God's Kingdom, Jesus will soon act to rid the earth of wickedness. Remember his promise that the meek would inherit the earth? Most churches don't teach that wonderful hope. Find out what the bible teaches- 'just a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more'. Those who hope in Jehovah will possess the earth. (Ps. 37:9-11)

The bible does give one that impression.

I used to feel that way back when I took the bible as the word of God too.

Then I broadened my horizons a bit and did some research on where the bible actually came from and who put it together.

Once I realized that the bible has created to obscure the true teachings of Jesus everything changed.

Maybe you need to do a little research too.

This is what happens to children left unsupervised. We do not have immediate punishment beside the laws of society to secure our obedience. All that is handed to us is a book, and we are supposed to have faith in it. A book might satisfy several people's need for guidance, but society as a whole does not truly run itself through the beliefs of this book. We are given the freedom to do what we want, and that's what people are going to do, whatever they want, good, bad or both. Without immediate punishment, there is no impressionable guarantee to how the world was created and how things are supposed to be run. I guess that's why they call it Faith.

I strongly disagree. As a human what you choose to do or not do is your decision. You have the power to do what you want to do. What happens in the world today is a result of humans simply living out their lives. Who are you to judge them? Everyone has the right to live if they choose so. The bible does not make you human. The bible was written BY humans. Humans, as in the same people you are proposing to kill.

You are painting the human race with a rather broad brush|

Some people are into those things, but others are not|

People should only be charged in accordance with their infractions|

What you are proposing is likened to a teacher who wants to punish the whole class because a select group of students misbehave|

Justice means punishing *only* those who deserve it and leaving the rest|
