Seriously? A story where millions of people,animals,and plants are destroyed is an example of preserving nature? Can you imagine the damage if the world was completely covered by water.This seems like circualr logic- god saved two of every animal! Never mind he killed the other several billion for no good reason.

That said, I guess it's good christians seem to be realising maybe the earth will be around longer than they think and our descendants aren't going to want a dump. When I was xtian I couldn't give a damn about recycling etc. The earth was going to be destroyed after the second coming anyway.I'm a lot more enviromentally concious these days.

Was it just me or did the people in that article seem really condecending? Like, " As christians we pretty much own the world and even though the bible doesn't tell us to we'll try make it abit nicer for you sinners. Enjoy it when we get raptured.''
