Of course not.Human nature must choose its own future. I doubt though, that it will vary much from the past millenia of war, plague and famine that is the result of living in disobedience to Gods original plan. |
I thought god's original plan for humans and nature was expressed in Genesis and the garden of eden and that was man had dominion over the animals and we were free to turn them into nice fur coats or BBQ them if we so wished? |
Glad I'm not religious. |

Why exactly is this such a crazy idea? If man is just an animal, why should he be exempt from culling? If it is determined that he is causing as much or more damage to the world than mad cows or infected birds, why not start the culling? If man is just an animal.

Exactly. If I was an atheist I'd have no problem with it. If we are as most people on here make out, just programmed animals, then whats the big deal. Kill them like flies. who cares? |

Yeah. I swear igotthisguitar once talked about being married to a man. |
He was trying to take the piss out of someone in a thread in the General Discussion forum. Like the rest of his posts, it did not have the intended effect.
(and of course Jaganath I've been laughing right along with you) |

Really? And Prison Planet ran with it as a straight story?
That's almost as good as the April Fool's story that The Weekly World News ran as straight:
TOBACCO COMPANY SUES SECONDHAND SMOKERS
The B.S. Raleigh Tobacco Company is fighting back. They're tired of people enjoying their products for free. That's why they've filed a $5 billion classaction lawsuit to penalize millions of secondhand smokers.
"If people ain't gonna buy our cigarettes, they shouldn't be able to enjoy other people's smoke," declared Raleigh President Frank Thermal.

Yeah, first thought that came to my mind was whether he was willing to put him and his family in the 90% or not.
I would make a wager, that its easier to theorise than practicise when making these statements. |

No no because if there is one thing that the 10% of people who remain are going to need to go on are the lizard experts.
Strikes me if there was still room on the B Ark, he'd be a fine candidate. |

Actually no. I knew at whom you were laughing, but I was curious as to what exactly you saw as ironic. Thus I asked, "To what are you referring?" |

I found Rapier's intertwining of his eco crusading with an appeal to religious apocalypticism particularly hilarious.
He sounds more than a little like a religious extremist here, does he not?
I find that ironic. |

Has he found fundamentalism? He used to be a kind of "anything new age I'll believe in without a second of critical thought". Is he now a bible thumper? Has he concluded it was god's holy plan after all to strip his family of their African estate and hand it to a bunch of gangsters? |

In Hebrew, there is a much stronger sense of responsibility in Genesis-- that man's role is to be shepherd, and not wolf, of the world-- the translated word dominion doesn't convey that well.
Where did this man come up with the number 90%? It seems too easy. And does he propose engineering a virus that spares fat, bearded professors?
