trees are better off without mankind and humans are parasites

How are those not true statements?

Would the Earth or all the trees die without humans? Nope.

Would humans die without the Earth or any trees? Yep.

It is the human who needs the Earth, not the other way around. It is the human who needs the trees, not the other way around.

You can think that is hippie drivel all day long for all I care, because that is what you have been taught.

However, it is the truth, whether you like it or not. This planet does not need your lawn or your trash or your car or any of the things that make your life easier. You are a parasite and if that offends your delicate sensibilities as an all important human being well then I suppose you just refuse to see the biological picture that is life on this planet.

A parasite is any organism that lives on another organism and benefits from it. An organism is a living thing. Now, I would think you would agree that the Earth is not a dead planet, so if it is not dead then it must be living. Thus, humans are parasites on the Earth.

I guess people have to see themselves as being important and necessary. But that is not the case.

I didn't take issue with you disagreeing with me, or even challenging what I believe. I took issue with you being rude about it. It is just not necessary.

Earth is a planet, not an organism. I dislike having to be the person to tell you that but there it is anyway. God did not make Earth or the sequoia’s in His image but He did mention something about worshipping false gods. Thank the good Lord for trees and venison and make good use of both.

Funny you have brought up hippie drivel a couple of times on this thread yet I have not nor any other poster ever mentioned it.

Do you have some kind of complex over it?

The planet is an organism? Yeah, now that does sound like hippie drivel.

God gave man dominion, end of story.

Buzz off with your liberal hippie drivel and go worship your god earth.....or is it the trees?

God made trees and all other plants to serve man, man has dominion over them, yes, Man has the responsibility to take care and nurture them, but solely in Man’s best interest.
