We all like money, but what do they feel when large swaths of nature are destroyed to make way for mines, oil and gas operations, suburban expansion, etc? Isn't it a bad thing to destroy God's creations? Does this make God angry or is he ok with it? Do Christians fundamentally hate nature and wilderness?
I don't like to admit this, but many if not most evangelical christians seem to think that Christ is coming back very soon and that the present day world will be destroyed anyway. That makes many of them seem to be unconcerned with the state of the world today. I am not of that mind, but Jesus said we wouldn't know the day of his coming untill he it's here. It could be today or a thousand years from now. I personally believe in conservationism, but not to an extreme degree, that would destroy the economy or whatever.
Uncomfortable or not, thanks for admitting that.
