[Regarding whether or not people should try to save endangered species.]
I don't know ... I just know that animals go EXTINCT
ALL THE TIME.
When God wants them home in heaven that is where they will be no matter what we do.

Yeah, rape the world, completely fuck it up, who cares, Jesus is coming back any day now ...
dykitty, that is exactly the attitude to stay alive and well ... with ignorance. He will continue to deplete our ressources at lightspeed, while everyone who actually tries to do something about it is fucked. They do all the thinking and work and limit their own consumation, while extending his own live.
Of course that view is extremely pessimistic. I hope humanity will change the direction.
How's it heaven for people if it's got T. rex, C. megalodon, umpteen species of saber toothed cat and more man-sized carnivorous birds than you can shake a stick at? Being digested certainly isn't my idea of a good time.
A, religion. The two worst things it does:
1) Drives people to do some of the most evil shit imaginable.
2) Makes people too apathetic to do anything about the problems of the world.
Anyone who does either of these is missing the point. Then again, that's a small part of why FSTDT is here to begin with. It is everyone's duty to at least be concerned about what's wrong with this world, and to avoid being part of it wherever possible.
At the same time, nothing could ever possibly go extinct, but for human sin, since God looked at His creation and saw that it was good. At least that's what creationists have told me.
Following your logic, we shouldn´t avoid murder, theft, abortion, suicide, tyranies, etc............ And I thought animals didn´t have soul, but........
Yea verily, God grew lonely for the passenger pigeon, and the great auk, and the dodo, and many other birds besides, and therefore did He call on man to forsake dominion and move on to wholesale slaughter that He might have the birds with Him in heaven.-Book of Bullshit, chapter eleventy-one, verse gajillion
This is the disgusting face of fundyism.
Normally I can deal with going 'ha ha' at the stupid, but when they use it as some sort of mechanism for responsibility-evasion, I get angry.
That's what I wanted to say, anyway.
But instead I'm going to go and watch Eddie Izzard talk about Jesus and the dinosaurs, which will make me feel better.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
