I live in one of several apartment complexes owned by rich churches. In addition to owning these apartment complexes, the churches also own their multi-million dollar churches that pay no realty taxes. When the churches or apartment complexes need any repairs (recently a new roof cost $100,000.) they don't use their own money, each time they go to the congregation and tell them to donate more money.

The failure of the human species is to believe they aren't human.

Jiminy, humans feel separate because they can abstract to higher levels of abstraction, than most living things. So we have Of all the things assumed, other living things on this planet are inferrer to us/humans, instead of realizing we can't survive alone, we are not an island."

Roxy,
Thank you,
We cant live separate, we are not separate.
Of all the things one can say about being human, the most important is that we are inseparately intertwined with the rest of this planet.
That which past generations have taken for granted, can no longer be done.
God is no longer the answer for mankind. God may be the answer for a man. but we can longer expect God to fix that which man destroys. That even includes God.

It is not a choice of one or the other. God, mother nature, other species, and planet resources are all in this together. We can longer separate ourselves from any of it.
The importance of one, does not diminish the importance of the others. For as each goes, so goes mankind.
I choose to believe in God, believe in mother nature, believe in this planet, and believe all living thing have a purpose under the Son. The only doubt I have is my belief in mankind..
