Q. Can you unpack this term "creation care"? How does this differ from environmentalism?
A. It is simply our articulation of a biblical doctrine, which is that we are commissioned by God the Almighty to be stewards of the earth. It is rooted not in politics or ideology, but in the scriptures. Genesis 2:15 specifically calls us "to watch over and care for" the bounty of the earth and its creatures. Scripture not only affirms this role, but warns that the earth is not ours to abuse, own, or dominate. The Bible clearly says in Revelation 11:18 that "God will destroy those who destroy the earth."
Q. Do you believe that polluters will literally be destroyed by God?
A. It's very difficult to comprehend the full ramifications of this Bible verse, but I can tell you it's a warning: Destroyers beware. Take heed. It was by and for Christ that this earth was made, which means it is sinfully wrong -- it is a tragedy of enormous proportions -- to destroy, degrade, or despoil it. He who has ears, let him hear.
Enviormental Bible thumpers! :D This amuses me so much!

I'm one of the too-often-silent majority of Christians who feel that the "moral majority" is neither, and that God wants us to live humbly and generously. In no verse did God ever say "Go ye into the Alaskan wilderness and drill oil wells into the antlers of caribou."

Or if people actualy thought before doing and practiced their religion everyday instead of just for 1-2 hours a week...
