12. I didn't say it is

the christians and whatever you believe is your choice. Facts are facts. I see that you care about the environment but I think religion is a control mechanism concocted to interpret the ways of the natural world by someone other than each individual.

Whatever the rapture story is about, I really couldn't give a hoot, I do know that it's part of some belief system that affects me adversely even though I don't want anything to do with it. Whomever it belongs to doesn't mater at this point.

Believe whatever makes you feel good. I believe in nothing, I harbor no beliefs. I know facts, I understand facts and am willing to consider proposed concepts whether or not I choose to agree with them for lack of factual evidence or whatever. Actions are what matter in this issue and unless we can convince those who are running the physical world into oblivion to change course, none of what we think or believe matters. I suspect that it's way past time to make a positive change in the natural processes we have brought about by our indifference to what really matters in the physical world, and we will all suffer for it in the end.

One of the obstacles that I see in how we are willing or unwilling to address this issue is the problem of beliefs. Unless you believe something, it has no energy to make a difference, and that is what I think is ridiculous.
