8 hours agoTo me it’s ridiculous that we have no reverence for our actual, objective God: the living Earth.
All the fairy tale imaginary sky daddies people kill other people over while actively desecrating our factual creator with abandon.
We’re so weird. We have a creator. The natural world. And we’ve been in a hot war with that only actual God of humans for about a quarter millenia, lol.
We’ll lose handily. And life will go on.
Certainly not plenty, given what’s happening.
And I don’t mean empty rhetorical reverence.
Reverence would mean having a zero to positive net environmental impact. Like the Native Americans. They weren’t perfect or necessarily peaceful between one another, but they practiced reverence towards the natural world.
Those with practiced reverence towards the natural world don’t fare well amongst our species. We take humble coexistence with the Earth as weakness like clockwork. We jail them for ecoterrorism and genocide their cultures because they get in the way of economic and population metastasis, sadly because we consider our God to be subject to us and not the other way around as we’re going to learn in the coming decades by our own actions and hubris.
I mean “learn” loosely. Sadly many wouldn’t admit to themselves we were wrong or abandon currency as their god even if a CAT 6 just hurled a bus at their head.
