um. I think you misunderstood my point just a tad. I never said we didn't
need to be good stewards of what God gave us. Never did I say that. I am
pointing out something though that I consider to be quite relevant. We are
living with the mentality of "resources are running out" and that's not true
either. See, ideas have consequesnces. And I personally don't buy into the
resources are running out routine.
My generation was taught that "god is dead" "survival of the fittest" "there
aren't enough resources" so is it suprising that we have people going off
and killing babies and classmates killing one another? That's the fruit of
what we have taught them. We have no value of people becuase we see that
there are too many peopel and I am the strongest so does it matter?
So when I say I don't buy the resources bit I say that cause I don't believe
we are runningout of resources. I beleive that God has given us enough to
provide for all the people that he has created.
Maybe that makes my point better?
