It's not animal cruelty to harvest animals for food anymore than it is vegetable cruelty to harvest vegetables for food. Why are animals treated with so much more love and respect than vegetables? Is a puppy cuter than a turnip? Do we treat the better looking and cuter better than we do the ugly and unappealing? Is that why we have beauty contests instead of ugly contests?

It's this kind of favoritism that makes mankind incapable of making just and fair judgments. I kick a dog and I am a monster. I swat a fly (or squash a roach) and I am a hero. Justify this, please.

As far as "environmental apathy", that's NOT a Christian tenet. God's first commandment to man was to "...replenish the earth...". That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of apathy. Replenish means to nourish or fill or make complete again. See how screwed up man's understanding is?

Divides people? If ALL people were Christian (and knew what that meant), we would have a BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, all for one, and one for all! What divides people is (unyielding) people. It's not what Jesus taught (division).

"dependence on something other then yourself is bad"

That, too, is not Christianity. Christianity is not about being served, it's about serving others. Christianity is not about what God can do for you (in the here and now) but what you can do for God (in the form of doing for others). Notice:

Mat 20:25 But Jesus called the disciples together and said: You know that foreign rulers like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over everyone they rule.
Mat 20:26 But don't act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others.
Mat 20:27 And if you want to be first, you must be the slave of the rest.

After answering to Gela's remarks, do I need say more about what I think about Christianity?

It's as misunderstood as God.

You're the proof that it doesn't. Political Correctness only teaches people to be deceivers.
