While discussing the imminent climate disaster with my elderly parents, they said they don't care because they won't live long enough to see it.
I asked, "What about your kids and grandkids?"
They asked, "Do you believe in God?"
I said, "No."
They said, "If you Believe in God, then you'll get to go to Heaven when you die."
I don't believe in God, so I won't be going to Heaven (which I also don't believe in), but if I did believe in God and Heaven, and expected to go there, why the hell should I and my children have to live through a post-apocalyptic shitshow before we die?
For the record, from what the church they made me go to taught me about God and Heaven, they should probably not expect to make the cut either. The God I was taught about was pretty anti-fascist. Kind of a socialist really.
Didn't God instruct us to take care of the earth right after we were made?
Genesis 1:28 ESV
Genesis 2:15 ESV
Shouldn't it be an incentive to take care of God's creation with respect and love because He saw that it was good?
Genesis 1:12 ESV
It seems more rational to exploit the earth since you only live once if there is no creator and you are an atheist versus believing there is a Creator and adhering to a religious belief that teaches that the Creator thought His creation was good.
Most Christians would rather believe in escapism and have cruel contempt rather than stewardship and kindness and love and acceptance. Even if it is part of the gospel we read.
Matthew 7:21-23 ESV
