Comment on Environmentalism – a religion? by agyapw

That’s helpful, Phil. I think the idea of “Stewardship” of creation, developed from Genesis 1:26-28 can go a long way in developing a Christian attitude to sustainability. I think also that Luther’s idea of the “New Heavens and New Earth” being a creation out of this creation, rather than a completely new thing unconnected with this world, might also be helpful in combating the attitude that some Christians have that “everything is going to be destroyed [soon], so use it or lose it”.

It is and I’d love something useful to say into the environmental conversation, a debate so often circular, cloudy, emotive and judgemental. I want Christianity to be sustainable without need for extra biblical imperatives, to contain within itself such self-limiting principles as would moderate population, carbon, water, energy by it own understanding of ecology, economy and ecclesiology. I want something useful and sufficient to say about what doing and being Christian means and why i am not an environmentalist, not a vegetarian nor any other ism too small. There is so much law and so little life in the environmental movement, it is an easy target for graceless stones:

Comment on Lunchbar: Has Science Disproved God? by morsec0de

Why should science work to disprove something that has no empirical evidence supporting its existence?
