Ardeith writes: Charles, you might be able to blame Christianity on the attitude that humans have a god-given mandate to subdue and conquer the world.....and to "go forth and multiply".. but intensive agriculture is the one thing you can't blame Christianity for, as it is far older than 2000 years...... As a Pagan, I see Christianity as one of the major causes for our alienation from Nature.....the whole mind-set that says nothing of this world matters except preparing the soul for the afterlife......I want to see this world be a healthy place for my progeny to enjoy...."yea, unto the seventh generation"........which means taking care for what we do to the world......which also means we can't let the Bush have eight years in office.....four will be bad enough...........
