Religion and Global Warming

[krysalyss]

I am actually not religious but did get brought up in a very christian school.
My beliefs are similar to Baths in that the bible isn't literal but more an analogy.
I have spoken to some people with Christian beliefs who feel that it is not their place to change the possibility of global warming because God will protect them and the earth.
While others feel that humans are caretakers of the earth and other animals.
I feel that if there is a god, He would be acting to preserve the planet and as such has placed particular people on earth to bring this message. I strongly feel that it is my role to conserve the earth and protect animals. I think everyone has a responsibility to preserve the earth and that if there is a God, He acts through people here, not through miracles.
Does this answer your question?

Uh oh, that's not good I don't think God will protect us from our mistakes... it's the "Free Will" clause that should warn us about that! Except from reports from the Old testament I can't think of any time God has protected us from our mistakes... he allowed us to build the atomic bomb didn't he?
