Earth Not Idolatry

In a ploy to boost Technorati ranking and perhaps get a few freebies that is working, Nick posted that Earth Day is Idolatrous.

If we confuse the earth with God, yes.  If earth day is a chance for us to recognize how humans are not being good stewards of the planet to which God entrusted us then no.  The fact is that humans are doing a fine job of making a disaster of this creation all the way up to space where we have propelled more junk in the name of capitalism that most people are aware.

It is not idolatry as long as the distinction between the creator and the created is secure.

If we do not understand our obligation to intentionally direct our evolutionary history to make this the most habitable planet we can, we are not following a rather clear command of God.

So…

Happy Freakin’ Earth Day to Christians and Idolatrous Pagan Scum Alike!

Nick now owes me a free book.
