Yes, God is an excuse for killing the planet and yet, supposedly, Bible also commands people not to commit suicide, but if they "listen to God" and kill the planet they will commit suicide.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

then, if not before, those who claim to have the fastest postal service form god will discover an divine edict telling them to dine on the flesh of their “flock”.

And I know there will be a lot of "yeah, butt!" posts. Please prove your points.

It smells pretty bad, but shit is actually pretty useful and indeed necessary.

Cow / horse / chicken manure are all commonly used as fertiliser for crops / plants, by farmers, gardeners, hobbyists etc. 

Ive even heard of people using bat shit to grow cannabis, apparently its common.  "Bat Guano" is bat shit which has decomposed over 100s of years, producing an odourless fertiliser, especially rich in phosphorous.  This is beneficial for plants, especially ones which flower.

Shitting is one major mechanism of how elements are returned to the earth for re-use - in the example above, new crops and plants grow using the nutrients they drive from the manure. 


If elements were not returned to the earth in this fashion, then there would be a constant drain on their natural levels which would ultimately lead them to be depleted.  Then the earth would be barren and we could not grow anything, which would be pretty 'shit' lol.

I am an engineer and once visited a water works / sewage plant where they put sewage through a large centrifuge and then dried the cake (shit) they were left with.  This was then pelletised and packaged and can be sold as fertiliser or even for use as fuel.

So, shit is not just necessary but valuable even!

At work.

Okay, that's kind of either a 'Facepalm' inducing reply OR "The point? You missed it".

Fascinating...eyeroll.  I am sure a message popped up saying this thread was over 30 days old and suggesting that you start another thread.  Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come as you delve into the forum past to find things to talk about.

And while I'm at it...this thread is now closed...let it sink back to the depths from whence it came.
