I hope you're kidding, otherwise that's blasphemy. If anything Christianity tells us we are the stewards of nature and should care for it, not damage and exploit it. Modern theologians agree with that. St. Francis lived for that message. One of the greatest evils a man can do now is to pollute, kill and ruin God's creations for future generations, and for the sake of the creations themselves. Nature was meant to flourish and when eco-systemns perish sometimes they never recover. We must safeguard what purity of nature we have left though it's not a perfect world. Our real problem is over-population. That is at the root of it all. But even highly populated nations can make sure they preserve their golden geese into perpetuity. Otherwise the goolden geese never lay another egg. That goes especially for oceans, fish populations, forests, endangered species, fresh water sources, wetlands, air and those few areas left which are truly wild. I spent 6 weeks in the Alaskan wilderness when I was younger at the very same place where the Exxon Valdez dumped its poisons. What magnificent purity it all was. And now what devastation and criminal waste. Some of it will never recover. Never ever. Just gone. Eventually we need to get off the oil kick altogether. And get rid of nukes as well. The recent oil-spill near the Galapagos Islands was espcially heart-breaking. Man must evolve beyond tall this. Gradually at last.The Bush Administration seeks to reverse progress not extend or even stabilize it. That is the real evil of this administration, and all to line their own pockets of course, at the expense of tax-payers, consumers and the natural world. And the rest of the world is not only angry but terrified of their wrong-headedness. The only positive is that in time this will al defeat them. Cheney can go back to fly-fishing on his private wilderness land and die a crooked old man with a bitter last legacy. And Bush can go back to the country club where he belongs.
