God, If you're out there, now is the time to prove yourself and prove whether you exist.

[Union Yes]

Our planet is dieing. Bleeding a toxic sludge that is poisoning our oceans.

If we cannot contain this oil gusher, it could be a planetary life killer.

The ecology of our oceans is a very delicate balance. Upset that balance and... I'd rather not find out.

75% of Earth's oxygen comes from our oceans.

Other than calling for 'divine intervention', what other ideas do we have left to stop this disaster?

Where are you "God"?

Your so-called 'creation' is dieing.

Where are you?

Your zeolots, like Pat Robertson, clamored for us to keep drilling. Said it was safe. I assume Pat got his advice from your voice in his head.

So, if your leading 'men of the cloth' preach it, then I expect some intervention when all hell breaks loose and mankind's utter stupidity gets the best of him.

Where are you?

1. he's pissed at us.

[Frank Cannon]

2. God gave us brains and/or each other to deal with this kind of thing

It's up to us to apply what we're given in the most effective way.

Sucks to be us, but that's the way it is. Maybe one day we'll learn. Maybe it will take a "reboot" before we finally get it.

3. God works in strange and mysterious ways, that's what they used to tell me! In my book this

means any God would say, let the assholes wipe themselves off the face of the earth and we'll start anew with a better species. As one of my friends used to call humans, a failed extraterrestrial experiment. The latter becomes more evident each day.

Not all of us have failed, but enough in positions of great power, wealth and greed to take the rest of us with them. In the old days it was more localized, but now they can take the whole planet with them.

For decades I was the perpetual optimist, but I'm afraid I've lost my optimism over the past couple of decades plus.

It takes a pretty dimly lit bulb not to see what is happening.

19. I agree with every word you've written

And whether you agree with your friend or not, I do.

Fail, fail, fail, Epic fail. Doesn't deserve to be around. I know I'll get flamed for that, but so be it.

22. Yep, exactly. What I always ponder is how do we ever get the "right" people

into positions of power/wealth to make a difference. The corporations are driven by greed, many making decisions are, so often the best approaches go unheard. I guess it will take just one episode after another until really real action occurs.

4. if he exists he gave us dominion over the earth and we screwed it up

an eternal being can just start over, the 5000 years of human history is nothing.

Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."




We don't deserve divine intervention

[hobbit709]

5. The planet will survive, it's been through worse.

We as a surviving dominate species may not.

[RKP5637]

6. I'm beginning to conclude it's no longer a question of 'if,' but when. We have

too many powerful toys to play with today and sadly often those in charge over them exercise poor responsibility and integrity. There are not many original species surviving on earth, I don't see why humans will be the exception if we maintain our present course. As you say, the planet will survive just fine. Humans seem sadly bent on self-destruction IMO.

[madmax]

11. I was good with the first sentence of your post

then I read the second :( We deserve it.

[Oregone]

7. I was just talking about this with God last night while we were doing bong hits

Id go into details but you really wouldn't be impressed. Eventually he just said fuck it and fell into a giggly fit

[Union Yes]

8. ...

Northern Lights can kinda make me spiritual, until the f'n munchies take over.

:hippie:

:hi:

[pipi_k]

9. Enquiring minds want to know...

which one of you ate the last Twinkie?



:hippie:

[Oregone]

10. Well, God is a Hoho man

So it wasn't him

[stray cat]

12. Maybe mankind needs to prove themselves worthy or cease to exist

like the dinosaurs. Why should humans be immune from extinction - are we so special?

[Waiting For Everyman]

13. Our headlines are old news...

"...the third part of the sea became blood;
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died..." (Revelation 8:8-11)

[SidDithers]

14. And if they don't reply, can we finally agree they don't exist?...

the sooner we realize we need to clean up our own messes, the better off we'll be.

16. You mean just holding a prayer session or two won't work! Darn! Just send more

money to your favorite televangelist, they can surely fix it, or better yet, Sarah Palin.

[IndianaGreen]

15. There was no GAWD to the rescue to prevent the Holocaust

I am convinced that the only GAWD that exists, is the one we created in our own minds.

The Holocaust was proof that there is no god or gods!

[Sebastian Doyle]

20. John Hagee has an answer for that one.

[Mari333]

17. the planet will eventually be just fine...we wont. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

18. Well, there is a scripture in Revelation that says God will "destroy them which destroy the Earth"

I just wish He would do so now, rather than later. :evilfrown:

[tjwash]

21. We are alone. We fucked up all by ourselves, and there is no sky daddy that is magically fixing it.

The sooner we as a people stop using a mythical non-existent being, as a selfish excuse to deflect our responsibilities as stewards and caretakers of this planet, off of us as human beings, the better off we will be.
