Is the lack of care for the environment and people less valued by Christians something..

...that could...? be seen as an attempt toward self-fulfilling the prophecy of Armageddon?

The continued attitude to dominate nature is obviously making the planet less livable not only for wild animals but humans as well yet this western attitude primarily started by the Christian ideal of dominance over nature is not only accepted but intensified in our world.

Most people that have a clue about developing world problems know that the root cause is a lack of resources for the people that live there, yet the western Christian world continues to remove resources from these nations bringing them to their own nations for their own gain. This is causing political tension and hatred toward the greed of the developed world. This is already leading towards warfare as seen in what some people may refer to as "terrorism" which would be more appropriately described as retaliation.

Both of these global impact issues are slowly coming to a head in what will undoubtedly be one of the most brutal climax's in the history of civilization yet there seems to be little intent to stop it from happening. If not to create Armageddon, then why?

PS: I'm bad to but my lifestyle is a result of these philosophy's being pushed on me since childhood. But I'm slowly and surely trying to change. Are you?
Thanks. I hope to get more responses like yours ? although I know there's a much larger cross section of people who have an opposite feeling on the subject.

Friendshipband,
What do guitars and minor junk habbit have to do with ecological responsability? And even if it does, did you fail to notice my post script?
Your intent with my profile. Maybe you should show that dedication to the question.
 
I don't know what your trying to say here, are you referring that Christians are trying to bring the end themselves or what? Cause they aren't , there are fanatic Christians that will try that, but not all do, just like fanatic Muslims in terrorism. Christians believe the end will come when God has planned, we can NOT speed it up or change the divine choices. We may change our ways and cleanse ourselves and HOPE God accepts it. But that wont happen.
 
I believe that most Christians do their best to look the other way. They figure if they are worried about peoples souls they don't have to worry about the earth. But most forget that man was given dominion over the Earth. it is man that will be held accountable for the state of the earth.
Each of us must do our best to preserve what we have been given, and to teach others how to treat the earth.
 
It could certainly be considered such, for a certain subsection of a certain subsection of Evangelical Christians.

The ones who obsessed with the end-times and the necessity of faith rather than good works, allow for a peculiar mindset which thinks that looking forward towards the End Times is of more use than taking stewardship of the Earth and helping ones' fellow man (the usual proper attitudes supported in the Bible).
