[in a thread about Earth Day]
It is fever pitch here in the Big Apple.......... I am sooooo disgusted. Elevating the earth over everything as if it were alive, these people are so double-minded - yeah, lets save the earth, but lets keep killing babies and smoking cigarettes which not only causes disease but is disgusting and dirty habit with all those butts all over the place and let sin have its day....... yeah, man is gonna save the earth, this is their mantra.

Hm.
I didn't know all the environmentalists were nasty chain smokers.
I rather figured most of the smokers that get on Earth Day would likely be the type to more properly dispose of their butts.
Wouldn't mind Citation on the pro-choice environmentalists vs. pro-life environmentalist numbers, either. I don't think it's everything you think it is, Girl.
Alternatively, it's about *not* raping the planet and leaving just a little bit more of our natural resources for posterity.
But if you want to make it about abortion and cigarettes, that's your thing.
You know, most of the stuff in my room is not 'alive', but we still have to take care of it, you stupid shit.
Killing babies is distinct from abortion, which is probably what you're talking about. Killing babies is never legal.
I am actually against smoking anything, plus environmentalists would agree that although it's not a major threat, smoking is bad for the environment.
So in fact what you are saying is not we are not worthy to fix the earth or we are hypocritical to try to save the earth while still doing something you like.
You're a stupid douchebag. Even if I was a terrible person, that does not automatically make my beliefs wrong and yours right.
Take your ad hominem strawman BS and get out.
Doesn't your religion have a saying that goes, "God helps those who help themselves"?
Well?
You still don't get it, do you?
@ approximate -
""God helps those who help themselves" is probably the most often quoted phrase that is not found in the Bible. This is actually a quote from Ben Franklin and it appeared in Poor Richard's Almanac in 1757. In fact the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless! Isaiah 25:4 declares, "For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat..." Romans 5:6 tells us, "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.""
The above is from a website called "gotquestions.org." It's a religious website. These dweebs actually celebrate being helpless, useless and depending on "god" for everything! It's an attitude I find deplorable.
Mister Spak - "If you destroy the ecosystem that keeps you alive you will die - but fundies aren't smart enough to understand that."
They probably understand it.... they just think either god will fix or that they'll all get raptured and god will destroy the earth anyway.

Nice... real nice... let's see how much you like it when we're all asphyxiating because we've exhausted the supply of oxygen and starving to death because we can't grow anything. Yeah. Sounds like fun times.
Also, killing babies is illegal. Really illegal. So you have no basis for that argument.

If my mother had told me that it was Ben Franklin who came up with that, I probably wouldn't have dismissed her with, "whatever".
I learn something new every day in this place. :)
That was an epic strawman....too bad abortion is actually helpful for maintaining a stable society and quelling overpopulation which would lead to more damage to the environment, and too bad most people don't support smoking cigarrettes anymore, anyway. So...what is so wrong with wanting to not damage the environment, again?
It's not about saving the earth at all, stupid girl. It's about saving our species from extinction and keeping our civilization going.
What is it about this subject that seems so out of your mind's reach?
Too bad more of you suffering, sacrificing chrisitans can't find the time to take some responsibility for yourselves. Oh, yeah, Jesus already took responsibility for everything you've ever done. Well, that lying sack of shit wasn't there either!
@ Antichrist: Flour beetles will outlive the cockroach. Mythbusters tested this using cockroaches, fruit flies, and flour beetles as varying levels of radiation. Only flour beetles survived 10,000 rads.
Also, didn't god want us to take care of the garden?
Because if we don't use it all up before Jesus gets back, he'll get mad at us and junk!!
You are a danger to the safety of our future, please die in a forest fire.
As a smoker, I can assure you that I will put a used butt in my pocket before I will toss it on the ground. Some smokers do have a conscience, and I am one of them. In fact, most smokers I know act in the same manner.
If you don't want to do anything to save the planet, that is your right, I guess. But, you know what would be a really good idea - and it is right up the fundie alley? If you fail to do anything to preserve this planet then you cannot live on it.
Get off my planet and let your god decide what to do with you.
Alternatively, we can continue to deplete the earth's natural resources until all the plants and animals are dead, and all the natural resources, oils, petrolium, water, wood and so on are gone. Yeah, because Jesus would love to see THAT when he comes back.
The earth lives.
Can't you just feel her when you bathe in the sea, lie in the grass? Or are you too wrapped in your own bitter lies to understand?
I can't take a step outside without feeling the living earth dying. It hurts more than a cancer in my heart.
Of course, you keep on consuming, and consuming, excusing it with, "The Bible said we could! Jesus loves you, but I think you're a godless heathen, so I'll just kill you and be on my way. Jesus loves ya!"
So you kill, consume, and hurt everyone else just to replace the emptiness you feel. You hold this religion because it gives you reason to live the way you do, gives you hope and something to cling to. So, to you, it's all that matters.
You hate and hate and hate because you think you can justify it.
Many of the most stupid, mindless and primitive of animals have nevertheless learned, or at least been hardwired by genetics, not to shit in the water hole. Conservationism is exactly the same thing, just applied much more broadly, and yet a deeply disturbing number of human beings just can't seem to get a grip on this ludicrously simple idea.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
