letter on the lament; "the earth is being spent."
comment posted to a blogger who lamented the spoiling of the planet.
"Is homo sapiens an oxymoron? [how much logic is there to destroying the planet]"
Oxymoron? yes.
Logical? unfortunately.
Remember logic has nothing to do with values. If you don't value the future. If you don't give a damn about the survival of life, human or otherwise, it then makes perfect sense to consume as much as possible and leave the mess for someone else to clean up. Their actions speak volumes about their values.
All religions have two faces. One embraces life and says give back what you take, do onto others, have compassion for all things, ect. The other embraces death and says this is all an illusion, the end is near! take it all for god before judgement day, god favors the prosperous and punishes the poor, kill the infidels because this is God's will, ect. ect.....
Remember also, we're a fundamentalist country fighting a fundamentalist movement. It then makes perfect sense on both sides not to question the will of God, but rather to live by the letter of the law as it was written centuries ago, and to "Spend" our world or kill the innocents because we're all on the brink of the apocalypse and the only things that matters happens after you die.
72 virgins or Born again salvation; they all want to bribe God/Allah by offering the world as a burnt offering.

Re: rewards after death.
The oldest trick in the all religious books (the ones for the leaders not the followers) how to take people for all they've got and give them nothing in return. To top it off, once dead and realising they have been had, there is no one to complain to and no way to warn others about the fraud!
Amen!
Christ, Mohammad and Buddha all fought the old hegemony precisely because of their embracing after death payoffs and flagrantly exploiting the masses to their detriment.
Fundamentalists regularly overlook this.
I'll give you the quotes by request.
