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?
We were told to subdue this world, to work the ground and to rule over it and all in it.
So all the other animals and plants were created merely as resources for the one and only creature -us- God is concerned with? So mass extinctions is not a problem. Depletion of resources is not a problem. Sustainability of the interactive webs of life is of no concern because God will provide once we burn through the yolk sack provided by every other form of life? This doesn't make you stupid so much as damnable. It is certainly one of the reasons fundamentalist Christians can't be treated as full adults.
Oh and look how effortlessly I judge you as morally deficient without reference to any objective standard. All of that is obviously bullshit given how little good it has done you.
