What's in a name? Sustainability is the
latest cultic codeword.
There's a difference between exercising stewardship of the earth (one which, according to Psalm 115, "He [God, the owner, as you've pointed out in Psalm 24] has given to the sons of men.") and earth worship or worshipful exaltation of non-sentient flora. Idol worship, that is. There's a lot of it going around these days. The Apostle Paul denounced it in Romans 1.
To follow God and Jesus is to renounce the idea that one is sole owner of his possessions, not necessarily the possessions themselves. David, a man after God's own heart, had fabulous wealth, yet gave lavishly of it to build the temple. Jesus' earthly needs were provided (Luke 8, as I recall) by, among others, women who had wealth [private means] to give. Paul told Timothy, "Charge the rich in this world . . .to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share."

Just proves a theory I’ve had for a long time. Those “live” foods i.e. plants, fruits and veggies, are screaming for their lives when consumed. lol

So, does this mean we need to execute cows for the crime of torturing grass?
Or, since the death penalty has been banned in Europe, does it mean that cows must be given indefinite prison sentences, until they amend their ways?
While they are in prison, what should we feed them?

The Biblical sense of sin, is often described as man’s inhumanity to man. In deep ecology, sin is man’s deleterious affect on nature. Mankind have all sinned and come short of the glory of nature. In deep ecology, God is nature, he is in nature and all creation, not separate. Instead of the Trinity, deep ecologists have a pantheism.
No, I am not a deep ecologist. I don’t worry about mowing the lawn or spraying weeds.

Yep. Plants have rights, but not the unborn.
Liberalism surely IS a mental disorder.
