God is still in control, there is nothing that we can do to the planet that God hasn't taken into consideration, waaaaay before resources get to scarce, His plan will take care of everything

I'm truly sick and tired of hearing this crap as an excuse to do sweet-fuck-all to help this planet.
I don't buy into the bullshit that God will come back before the Earth is completely incapable of supporting life.
I find it morally reprehensible that someone could consciously pollute because of this belief, then call me immoral for being an atheist.
Beside, it was always my impression that God gave us the Earth and told us to care for it, or did I get that wrong?
"God is still in control, there is nothing that we can do to the planet that God hasn't taken into consideration, waaaaay before resources get to scarce, His plan will take care of everything"
I see a picture of a desolate, polluted and nearly uninhabitable Earth in the distant future with a single sole surviving member of our species drawing his last few dying breaths still muttering his mantra: "God is still in control, there is nothing that we can do to the planet that God hasn't taken into consideration, waaaaay before resources get to scarce, His plan will take care of everything..."
The truly fucking stupid and depressing thing about this was the Mayans said the same thing when they were sacrificing virgin's to make the crops grow, and the same thing happened in the middle East when the ferticle crescent was a fertile cresent.
God will look after us. God will take care of us. God will provide for us. This is all Gods will.
Oooops our civilisation just collapsed and everyone wants to disembowel the priests!
This reminds me of Reagan's 1st Secretary of the Interior, James Watt. He said something to the effect that we don't need to take care of the environment because the 2nd coming was at hand. To no one's surprise I'm sure, James Watt was a Fundie. Of course, that was some 25 years ago and, so far, no parousia.
Machine translations are imperfect. Single-tired-person translations may be equally flawed. Fundiebabble-to-English translator now engaged.

I have decided that 2,000-year-old myths are a good enough reason to waste resources now. After all, I'll be dead before we can use up everything. The next generation can handle my mess.

I guess we don't have to worry about avoiding abortions, harry potter, smoking weed, listening to metal or gay marriage then.
Ok, I'll fight fire with fire.
Didn't God said something after the flood? It had some distant connection with rainbow... Ah yes.
(paraphrase) God: this is the mark of my covenant with man, that I'll never try to drown the Earth. (thinking: but there is nothing to stop you from continuing where I stopped).
Guess it's the truth. God ALWAYS finds a way.
And if His plan is for us to develop cleaner fuels?
@God botherer
And what of Christ's parable where the wealthy man gives his servants the talents? The message seems to be "Don't fuck up what God gave you." You'd think fundies would be more keen on clean alternatives to fossil fuel.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
