I strongly suspect that the most insidious aspect of Christianity is its teaching that man was made by God to have 'dominion over the Earth and everything in it'. In fact, at this moment in time, for all of our much vaunted 'God given' 'intelligence', we are nothing more than locusts devouring the Earth. And it's happening blindingly fast. I've noticed the environment deteriorating noticeably around me in my lifetime - and my lifetime is no more than an infinitesimally small fraction of a geological eye blink! We're basically fucked - we're extinct already! And when we're gone, all of these arguments about religion will mean fuck all (as will art and science and history etc., etc., etc.).

Apparently we of the 'end times' are living through the sixth episode of extinction in the history of the planet. Although, of course,life, in some form, will continue after us.

The only thing which gives me the vaguest thread of hope is that this sixth extinction is being studied, in meticulous detail, by representatives of the causal agent. And that's yet another reason why we need to dump the supreme irrelevance of religion and concentrate on the thing that might (only just) save us - science and the understanding it gives us of who we are and how we relate to the rest of the planet.
