I think you've hit the nail on the head .. "without destroying the global economy" .. that's your top priority isn't it?..Even in your fantasy world where wealth and usury could be eradicated without destroying the global economy, and climate change can mysteriously be solved by superstition..
One step at a time. I don't envisage the majority of people giving up their privileged status due to usury any time soon.2. How is solving climate change going to stop the human population increasing to the point where the earth's finite resources are insufficient to support it?
I'm not going to cure anything.You want to reverse the industrial revolution? This is getting funnier and funnier, You will cure global climate change by sending everyone back to the dark ages..
Seriously!Is that the entirety of your argument that religion is the only thing that can solve the climate crisis?
Seriously?
Okay, well you haven't actually made an argument that describes how religion solves the climate crisis though.Seriously!
I agree that we need a global solution to the problem but I fail to see how religion is the only way to solve the problem, or what that even means.That doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do to mitigate the problems from the huge increase in consumption since the industrial revolution. Clearly there are..
..but without a global solution, it can't achieve what is necessary to prevent disaster.
Well it's not my job to show you the value of religion.I agree that we need a global solution to the problem but I fail to see how religion is the only way to solve the problem, or what that even means.
I didn't ask you to "show the value of religion."Well it's not my job to show you the value of religion.
I don't see it because you haven't explained it.If you can't see that belief in G-d and obeying Him by "enjoining what is right and forbidding evil" has no consequence, then so be it.
I have explained it, but you don't seem to understand.I don't see it because you haven't explained it.
Just saying religion is the only solution for the climate crisis isn't an explanation. It's an assertion.
From the Christian perspective....sadly disaster is imminent and inevitable. Man has been given his test and continues to fail. Those few of heightened spirituality would quickly become overwhelmed by the spiritually blind if not for the intervention of God in my opinion. I don't know what this means but for me, I will continue to believe God exists because I "feel" that is truth. I will continue to have faith in God's mercy because I "feel" that is the correct path. I have no faith in this worlds continuance as it is though.Seriously!

Trust me...everyone suffers a worldview.worldview? I don't think I have one of those.
I agree with you.From the Christian perspective....sadly disaster is imminent and inevitable. Man has been given his test and continues to fail.

What do you base that on?Trust me...everyone suffers a worldview.
elves.
If God existed would there be proof?
No, no, no.
Ever heard of recession?
Your economic theory is deeply flawed.
Why do nations try to "shore up" their economic growth, at all costs?
It is not difficult to understand. They want to maintain a life style and income.
A level playing field economically does not increase industrialisation.
History shows us how the world changed during the industrial revolution, and what is fueling it.
There are limits to growth. The planet is finite. It is impossible for us all to live a typical western lifestyle.
Either we submit to truth, or we kill each other from greed and enmity.
Is that a threat?Trying to destroy the "western" lifestyle with Islam will only bring your war to your front doorstep with "western" lifestyle soldiers accompanied by their newly formed "eastern" lifestyle allies.
But not necessarily "imminent". After all, there was a prediction that Jesus would return "in this generation" back almost 2000 years ago, but that didn't happen. Jesus said only the Father knew when the end of times would be.From the Christian perspective....sadly disaster is imminent and inevitable.
Thank you.I have explained it, but you don't seem to understand.
I'll try once more.
Okay.It is unlawful to make usurious transactions [ interest on money, for example ]
It is mentioned in both the Bible and Qur'an.
I'm all in favour of the Catholic Church no longer having any moral mandate. They are a a corrupt and immoral organization that has been systematically hiding pedophiles for who knows how long. They have no moral mandate.The industrial revolution was financed by usury, as after the reformation, the Catholic church no longer had its moral mandate.
Financial centres first appeared in Amsterdam, and then moved to London.
So you're drawing a connection between the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a result of a huge increase in factory production with usurious transactions? Do you think there were no "usurious transactions" prior to the industrial revolution?It is since the industrial revolution that greenhouse gas emissions started to increase and become unsustainably high. The world is heading for disaster. Without a change in the financial system, mankind cannot agree on a path to stop climate change.
That has probably been the case for most of humanity's existence on this planet.They will see their neighbour country as having an unfair advantage etc.
They would? And that would solve the climate crisis, how?If people embraced Islam, for example, people will eventually stop voting for usurious govts. as they would realise the destruction that it is causing. It means making a sacrifice in the short term, yes.
How?..but the eventual result is that we avoid the serious disaster that is upon us.
So if we all just convert to Islam, the climate crisis goes away?I'm not saying that this is going to happen. I don't think it is anytime soon. That, however, is not the point.
It still remains the case that climate-change cannot be averted without a change in global finance.
Generally speaking, organizations tend to neither be moral nor immoral, but people in such organizations may be either, including at the top. For example, is the United States moral or immoral?I'm all in favour of the Catholic Church no longer having any moral mandate. They are a a corrupt and immoral organization that has been systematically hiding pedophiles for who knows how long. They have no moral mandate.
Mainly personal experience interacting with others but also some general psychology and philosophic considerations.What do you base that on?
