What's persevering the life our Christian god made vs drilling the demon essence out of the ground to continue destroying the planet for (check notes)... for those quarterly profits! In fact, im sure god will reward us for it! Yes, yes.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That is pure definition of Capitalism - Capital is absolute suveren, all hail the capital, the more you have it-the more you want it. Nothing can stand in a way of making more Capital. Humans, animals, planet, techology, even God and religion, they are just means to gain more Capital.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 2 weeks ago

Also, it is capital now. It would make so much sense to make more capital by waiting, preserving and investing, but that's not what capitalism does, only oil, money, now.

I think they wanted "sovereign"

But spell-check is on everything. What happened?

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You have to get kinda close for spell-check to step in and it's really bad at fixing problems at the beginning of a word.

I hope the whale probe is real. Humanity hasn't shown that it deserves to survive.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You know, I used to preach to the choir about the fact that monkeys are dicks.

That's old and busted now.

Christofascism is the new hotness.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

As a secular humanist, it hurt me quite a bit to write that out, but it was rather speculative and I think rather accurate.

If you believe in Jesus Christ, then actually read the things he said, not what they want you to hear.

Why are we letting them continue to do this? Where are the riots? They will take everything to hell with them

Oh but they did 3 times. Well they went for long group walks but they had signs

Imagine thinking "Our god created this glorious, beautiful creature, lets kill all of them"

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think they bastardized the Bible’s permission to eat meat into ownership of all animals to do what conveniences them.

After the Noah’s ark story, God says “God tells Noah, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things”

This meant to consume, but human greed never seems to allow us to consume sustainability. We have a very religious babysitter who feels strongly that animals have no souls and therefore are of lesser importance than humans. As though the whole world was laid out for us like a playmat, and when we destroy it God will just get us more toys.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, same god that killed all but a handful of humanity and all but two of each animal, so… Don’t make appeals to their mercy or empathy, they have none.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean they're not building a giant boat to put the whales in, either. Seems like they're OK with killing them all this time.

The “God Squad” is a panel of six high ranking federal officials on the Endangered Species Committee that has the ability to decide exemptions in the Endangered Species Act. It earned the name because the committee has the power to play God.

What a revolting nickname - it shows how little they truly care 🤢

They are members of the species Homo Insipiens.
I reject the fact that I'm part of the same species like them.
