Would a naturalistic view of god be beneficial during our present animal extinction event?

Nature gives us life and spirit. Our spirit gives us god. A god within each of us is very ancient thinking.

We cannot define our gods exactly. We can only use analogies.

I think that supernatural gods do not need anything from us. They do not need toys.

If we are to serve any god, it should be one that gives life and that is Earth.

Earth cannot speak. Only life in the form of a man can.

In the natural world, all life worships its own natural likeness. All except man.

Why are we fighting nature, and idol worshiping imaginary gods, as we destroy our eco system?

Nature abhors a vacuum. As some species die off, they will be replaced by others in time. Maybe not enough time to have one as a pet as humans will be extinct eventually as well, but inevitably nonetheless

 

[Vastator]

99 percent of all species is that have ever existed are now extinct. So, which extinction "event" are you refering to?

God created the material world to experience the material world through us.

The major one happening to the Earth as we speak.

I understand the numbers you give. I wonder how close humans are to being numbered as the extinct.

What do you think the odds are?

Which one is that? Which species?

So your god is a voyeur and can only pretend to be better than those with life and spirit.

That is how I refute your initial lie.

No. He literally experiences it through us.

Pretend? He left that for you to do.

I really don't think this is a good argument. Just because most species have gone extinct doesn't mean we should plunder the Earth with no regard for the entire ecosystems we are disrupting and destroying. That way of thinking is selfish and irresponsible. We know better, and so we should expect more from ourselves and do better.

I guess so; because my only intention was to glean "what extinction event" this thread is predicated on.

So do you agree or disagree that humans should make an effort to not cause extinction through their own actions? Do you agree that it would be ridiculous to think it doesn't matter because most species that have ever existed no longer do?

Maybe... Sort of... I guess it depends on how far one is willing to take it. The larger our population gets, the more species we will inevitably edge out. But... there are also a great many who ride our coat tails and flourish like never before. Like the house cat. I've heard it said, though I can't vouch for the veracity of it; that the house cat is responsible for more extinctions than any creature living today. And even with us hurting some species, these cats are doing better than they ever would have otherwise. And that goes for a great many creatures.

No, it really wouldn't.

The current, Holocene extinction event. Which one did you think? Come on, you could have puzzled that out for yourself.

Fossil Fuels might be Demonic, think about it, it's toxic, and comes from deep below Earth's surface where the Devil is supposed to live.

So fossil fuels are the Devil's juice?
