Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm just in a funny mood. I don't believe in arguing or defending things such as belief systems simply because there generally isn't much purpose to it and I rarely make posts, but this hit me like a sucker-punch. I do want to say one thing and that is that it's dangerous to classify a whole group of people like this. If you were talking about races here or those with disabilities or (choose any group) it would not be tolerated. I can tell you that my faith is very fundamental to me and i recycle and pick up other peoples' "shit" besides. I support environmental organizations and plant trees. I carpool whenever feasable and don't drive on spare the air days. I turn off whatever electricity and water, etc. that are not needed. I work with children who have no families. I care for the elderly. I help feed the homeless. I do my part in whatever way I can.

My belief is that as a human being and a child of God, that he gifted us with this planet. Do I believe it's temporary? Yes. But we don't know how temporary and we have been called to be good stewards of it. I can assure you I want it to last for the generations to come (which I also don't have children - maybe I'm saving it for yours or those you love). I do see what you speak of with many people - and not just Christians. I would ponder the larger question - is it safe for anyone to rule the world? I doubt it. Checks and balances. I hope you can accept my view as a check and balance as well because I believe I don't quite fit your frustrated stereotype.
