The Catholic Church and the Fundies remind their followers every day that the next minute might be their last. PREPARE FOR HEAVEN AND AVOID hell is the mantra. So devout pseudo Christians are taught three basic concepts. One is worship your Supreme God. Two is that this life is short and NOT important . And three is that you must create as many NEW SOULS as possible for that God.

Other than that the planet and its creatures be damned. Human beings in the likeness of GOD are superior to everything else.
