Quote:If you really believe that God created everything--and then declared it 'good'--then it seems he would like for you--as his ambassador--to care about perpetuating his creation.Again, This world is slated to be destroyed with fire, By God. Why would I place any value in something as trivial as fire wood outside of what it is indended to be used for? Fire wood is purposed to be burned for warmth/cooking, therefore why would I protect the fire wood from being burned in the fire place for that very purpose?
Quote:You believe that God will come back someday, but there is no way for you to know when it will happen. It has already taken 2,000+ years.Again As to what day, I have no idea. But I can speak to the condition and heart of man as these are sited as the trigger for the end of man, and this world.
Quote:If, as Christians believe, God has his own timetable, couldn't he easily wait another 2,000 years? However, if the earth doesn't last that long, you are effectively inhibiting God's plan by hastening your little death-apalooza. Shouldn't you be doing everything you can to take care of the earth so that it lasts the next 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years while Christians are still waiting?
Two things if that many Christians are still waiting, the 10 times that are being saved from Hell.
Second the end of our natural resources will build to the type of war described as the final battle in the Book of Revelation. Who's to say my 8 miles to the gallon 7.5 liter big block V-8 is not putting us right on time for that day described in the book of Revelation?
Again I only want to see and hear the final trumpet sound (So I can maybe post I told you so) I didn't say I would be able to do it. Bottom line if God comes today I'm ready to go, or if He comes a million bazillion years from now I will be just as ready.

Because even atheist can not argue that level of State educated evil.
