I like to see trees ,shimrod, and I know they are ecologically important.
but if a tree needs to come down I don't worry if I do it in the most humane way possible. I do care if animal life is mistreated or there is needless careless suffering inflicted.
as to your other comments-
a/you attack the bible by the [alleged] practises of Christians.
b/you concede yourself that there is no or little religious element currently in the "catastrophic destruction"
c/if you want to cite the faults of the religious ,past or present, I can surely cite the evil of evolution believers, if you wanna go down that path again.
so ,I think your argument flawed, but at least there was one, unlike steve who sounds like the needles stuck...evolution true ,darwin elegant, creationists evil...ad nauseum.
