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.
You've read way to much nonsense into what Drich said, you might want to consider that what he said meant we are to be caring custodians of this plant. Besides it's the big, very big corporations and governments that have created this problem, why do you blame Christians for the shape it's in. Where is you proof that Christians are solely responsible for the mess. The way I see it is the uncaring money hungry selfish people that are of the greatest responsibility, note what I just described is not a Christian.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
