What do you think God would say about what we are doing to the environment?

Question

HMMM .... anyone?

Answer 1

This precious perfect jewel of a planet is your home. It has every resource you will ever need if you cherish it and take from it only that which you need for a healthy life of grace, dignity, and beauty.

Notice how humble this priceless jewel is. It replenishes itself and gives abundantly of its treasures, allows you to walk upon its face, and never complains as long as you respect its balance.

However, if you ravage this jewel through your greed and self-righteous, chosen ignorance and destroy the balance necessary to maintain it, it will wreak its vengeance upon you. For not only is it your womb matrix, it is your tomb and has no qualms about being a mass graveyard. From it all things come; unto it all things return. No one escapes.

Answer 2

Uh...stop it (seriously). And He'd probably tell the sun to stop heating up the other eight planets in the solar system too. And He'd call the glacier ice-caps back to southern Ohio. And He'd plunge Northern Europe into an inhabitable ice-scape. And He'd dry up the US's southwest. He'd probably thaw Antartica out so the fossilized ferns and lizards there could re-populate the frozen landscape. Climate is controlled by a cyclical pattern largely dictated by the sun's cyclical heating and cooling periods. Humans can control some things but who can compete with "Old Bob."

Answer 3

Are you referring to the Judeo-Christian God? If so, that god would be angry. Very angry. In the same way my father would be angry (my father is not vengeful though) if he built me a beautiful complex house, a house he worked very hard to make and was very proud of, and I destroyed the house (or didn't stop others from destroying it) because my father promised me a new, better house some unspecified time in the future. If I treated the first house badly, why would my father give me a new one?
If we treat Earth badly, why would god give us heaven? Perhaps that is why the second coming is over one Thousand years late? Some other reason maybe?

Answer 4

Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia

What was that about hats, again?

Answer 5

OK children this is your God speaking:

Global Warming has started and I can't stop it, contrary to popular opinion. If there is one of many lessons I really do wish that all of you would learn collectively it is that there are consequences for your actions.

Now, if you all really want that peace and harmony you've pleading for you'd better get off your duffs and start treating everyone and everything with respect, especially Mother Earth. You shouldn't treat your mother like this!

In order to save the world you are going to have to over come some huge hurdles, but you can still do it. Ah, and if you don't, well see you in the next phase.

Here's a hint: It only takes 5% in physics to ceate critical mass, just think if only 5% of the worlds population actually got off the keisters. Believe me they would be draging the rest of the world with them. So you see it really doesn't take to much to get everyone involved.

Now about that second coming issue.......

Answer 6

Hmmm, we aren't doing anything to the environment. God is. He is teaching us a lesson. I'm just sad that he is killing all those polar bears in the Artic by melting the ice caps.:(

Answer 7

He'd be pretty bummed out about it, I'm sure. Kinda disappointed with how poorly we've taken care of what he gave us.

Some people seem to think God is ok with it though, because in their theology, God is coming right awat to scoop all of his favorite people up and destroy the Earth and make a new one. Even if this theology is true (which I don't believe, but I try to never totally rule things out), it's still irresponsible.

Answer 8

Quit messing up Earth before I have to get rid of the problem!

Answer 9

God will be disappointed... but wait a minute.. isn't he supposed to be all-knowing?

So why would he be disappointed if he already knew before creating us that we're going to do this?

Kinda makes no sense actually.

Answer 10

This would depend on your concept of God
