Future of Christianity in US

[Drich]

Why 'fix' the earth now is that your question?

We shouldn't 'fix it.'

We were set here and tasked with the mission to tame and subdue this world. We are activly doing that as far as I understand the term.

This world is not meant to last forever. We are told after the final judgement their will be a new heaven and a new earth, and the old heaven and earth will pass away.

I had a friend in high school whose dad owned several car dealerships. My friend had pick of any car off the lot he wanted to drive at any time. It seemed like every week, he had something different. There was a limited-edition, anniversary-issue Corvette that came out, so of course he drove that. He totaled it. Needless to say his dad was pissed. His punishment, though. He had to drive a '79 Jeep Cherokee to school for two months, a piece of shit that was still better than the piece of shit I drove! After that, he was back to driving Lexuses.

Let's assume for a moment that God does exist. You're essentially saying that Big Daddy isn't going to care that you are willfully trashing what he gave you. Christianity is the spoiled little prick who thinks that nothing matters since 'Daddy' will just buy me a new one.

The problem with your analogy is the word, or rather your understanding of the word "Trashing." We were told to subdue or to conquor this world. Meaning we have been commanded to tame the wild things, to destroy our predators to harness the forces He put into place in this world and have them work for us.

For God and his people all these things are a good things.

For hippies and people who hate God they have no eternity to look forward to, no 'New Heaven/New Earth to live in. This is all they have. So, as other poorer nations enter into the industrial age, resources become spread too thin. So inorder to perserve their hippy way of life, a segement of the self righteous calls the rest of the population to set a better example so that these population rich resource poor nations do not consume everything in sight as 'we' did through our industrial age. If they did their would not be enough resources to go around.

Which again is a problem if this world in your only home.

Red Herring

Dirch i have no ill will against you. just letting you know.

A red herring means your speaking off topic.

I never brought up a prophroetic end times date, yet your last post seems to have you steering the conversation in that direction..
