Why we hate people who believe in god. Anthropocentrism is the belief that human beings are the central or most significant species on the planet.
It is a major concept in the field of environmental ethics and environmental philosophy, where it is often considered to be the root cause of problems created by human interaction with the environment.
I bet a lot of religious people don't believe in man made global warming. This is why religion needs to go.
Yeah, go ahead and bet on that.
You'd be incorrect, with regard to the Christians who are truly familiar with the Scriptures.
"Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." — Hosea 4:1-3
God instructs us to take care of His creation, His land, His earth. We humans are not necessarily the center of the world, the heavens, the universe, in the anthropocentric sense of the term:
We are merely its
stewards. And the blessings God has given man, He can also just as easily take away, if we do not follow Him.
God has His own special covenant with the animals — their own
Bible, perhaps. We humans are not aware of it; we are not supposed to be.
The Bible is merely God's testament to us
humans — for whom He sent His Son to die;
not His animals.
This is most likely why, for example, we see unexplainable psychic phenomena such as how creatures of the sea like dolphins and whales are able to communicate via sonar; how animals act strangely prior to the eruptions of volcanoes and earthquakes.
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." Isaiah 11:6-9
Has God made man the center of creation?
Does God believe in
anthropocentrism?
Not according to His Word to us humans—
The Bible—He doesn't. And as brilliant as you like to fancy yourself, you have obviously never read it.
