Why aren't those who believe in climate change insisting on only flying in planes powered by solar or wind energy?  They want to ban everyone else from using them, why don't they set an example?  This is what shows us what they're really after and it's not about saving the earth.  It's about forbidding others.

I still think that it's essentially earth-worship.  It's basically Earth trying to find any excuse to not worship God and focusing on her is a good example, especially as it gets rid of all the small creatures running around on her.  Notice that they can never really form anything that qualifies as a religion people would believe in for centuries.

Periodically, God does give her a lesson on how that works.  Judaism, Christianity and Islam can't be the only beliefs in a god, but they have obviously stood out for meaning and relevance, as well as connection to each other.  Jesus Christ was Jewish.  Mohammad specifically states that he is the last of God's prophets after Moses, Abraham and Jesus.  All three of these religions came from the same part of the world, leading to each other as 'beginning-middle-end' of God's message to us, and to the earth.

The connections of Judaism and Christianity are well-known, with the division point being that Jesus is also God.  The very first line in Islam is "There is no god but God," adding that Muhammad is His prophet.  It is contradictory, as is religion in general, but I think it's possible to recognize connections.  Allowing Jesus to be worshipped as God is part of the lesson God was teaching the adversary/Earth.  Technically it's wrong but God will permit that here and, using humans as examples, explain why.  This is why, despite there being only one God, the Koran quotes God speaking in the first person-PLURAL.

We aren't God, we're not capable of comprehending this stuff.  But there's obviously enough there that many people have been devoted to for many centuries.  As individual humans, it's best for us to pick a spot and be as faithful to God as we can be.  We're each part of the lesson, even if it comes down to 'don't do this.'  We're even capable of faithfully opposing each other, which God can comprehend and, by the Last Day, so will the adversary.  I think it's natural for religions to turn on each other.  That's life.

So are we at the end of the process now, with earth-worship reigning supreme over us all, or is this just another step in the process?  I don't know, none of us know.  Maybe we'll find out when we're dead, maybe we'll just be gone forever, maybe dying is just another step in the process.  I sometimes fantasize that the dead line up and the results vary.  "You, heaven.  You, hell for eternity.  You, hell for 5000 years.  You, you'll be reincarnated as a toad.  You, just sit outside of heaven, we'll call you when we have an opening.  You, reincarnated in Brazil, try to avoid drunk driving this time.  You, move to the front of the line, we'll take you to the special room."

Atheists and pagans might have their role to play, as individuals or groups.  God permitted humanity to exist for thousands of years without even knowing about Him, I doubt they automatically got sent to hell for something they had no control over.  It also wouldn't surprise me if there are devout atheists who wake up in heaven with a note from God saying "I wish I had more like you."

The point is to make the best of what we can where we are.  Faith isn't everything, but it does go a long way and provides the meaning, inspiration and devotion we so desperately need, now and for all of time.  I think we're all breaking down these days and faith is the best option we have, perhaps the only option.
