      The Bible specifically requires that Man be good stewards of the gifts. So they are intentionally ignoring it to reach that selfishness.

      It seems that American Nationalist Christians in particular are embracing a strangely nihilistic worldview - it appears that a lot of them, and most of the politicians who identify as such - are actively trying to accelerate and exacerbate destructive situations in our societies and the world in general, because they want to get raptured. As in: they’re pushing policies that they know will be wildly destructive and harmful, and the destructiveness is the point.

      You’re forgetting that god gave Adam dominion over the beasts or some such bullshit. That really happened. Check the bible.

        Don’t forget that it comes with the stipulation that Man must be good stewards.

    The average temperature in New Orleans was 71 degrees in 1820. It is 78 degrees now. Change is impossible to ignore

        The familiar boot shape of Louisiana would look very different if maps depicted only its solid land, highlighting how much of the state is in a precarious position between watery ground and open ocean (below) (ref. 4).

          Maybe we should all go coal rolling so the entire state is just ocean? Louisiana can’t be a state if nobody lives there.

          I am joking, for the record.
