I was listening to a radio personality, Dennis Prager. He's conservative and for me full of common sense. I happened to be listening to the Ultimate Issues Hour title "Worshipping Nature". I started to pretty much laugh my ass off because of how ridiculous these people were being. I guess I shouldn't knock it til I've tried it, but come on! So, I started to IM a friend and she sent me the actual video of this extremist group of pantheists with Earth First that Prager had mentioned and of which used clips for his show. Here it is:
Seriously, what has my problem been all these years. I should have known better than to befriend a human instead of that energy filled rock. Oh and for that matter how much more of a heartless bitch could I be. I'm typing on my keyboard that is sitting on, GASP, a WOODEN DESK!!!!!
Now, all I have to say is get a life. Am I the only person here who thinks this is kind of ridiculous? I respect nature in all of it's glory. It's an amazing part of what God created and it houses some of the most beautiful creatures and things on this earth, but like my husband said, worshipping a tree? It's like worshipping seaweed. Seaweed is a plant to and I don't see them worshipping seaweed.
To see a forest fire or a huge chunk of forest lost to a housing development is certainly devastating, but I'm not going to sit a cry my heart out harder for an emotionless tree and lifeless rock than I would for another human being. I get the feeling that human life to these people is just second on the list to their friends the rocks. I use green friendly products, I recycle, take my own bags to the store, buy organic and do the best that I can to live a healthier life all around for myself and the environment, but this is extreme. I could never sit and honestly think that a tree was listening to me. They were created for us. Whatever use they may be for, wether it's shade, a cabin, a pencil or paper, meditation, etc, they were put here for us. Now I certainly don't ever want there to be a day like in Total Recall where we all live on Mars with fans propelling our wind and no trees in sight, but I think I will stick to worshipping in my church and befriending good old fashioned people all the while enjoying instead of mourning over what is actually an abundance of trees on this planet. I will do all of this while at the same time enjoying my computer sitting on my wooden desk. Maybe I really am a heartless beeotch.
