Do people who believe in God appreciate Earth Day?

I am a Christian and I believe in God and I do not like the idea of Earth day. Yes God created the Earth and some will say it was a gift. I do what I can by treating it right. But I am not going to turn in my diesel truck for a hybrid piece of crap. Companies wanting to conserve energy to save money is fine with me and an excellent idea. But trying to go completely green so it doesn't hurt the atmosphere? Give me a break.

No God is not responsible for what we have done to the earth. The messes we are in are due to our free will. Earth day's intent was to be more aware of what we were doing to slowly destroy the Earth, but like everything else it became a controversy and someones political agenda. I could say that overall it is a crock because in the end God fixes it, yet I don't have a popular view on things on here, so I can only agree on some of what you said. Which is I don't think all of God's people will participate on Earth Day. And neither will anyone who does not believe it will help solve any problems.

Funny that you ask, my feelings towards earth day or "go green" is a bit conflicted and contradicted.

You see, from the bible, when Jesus comes back, God will destroy the earth anyway, so how we act on "green" doesn't prolong or preserve the earth as God has the final say and WILL come back to defeat Satan and death.

If you want to go green because it makes the air cleaner so that your children or other people will breath healthier, that's fine. We should treat our neighbors the way we treat ourselves. However, if you go green because you think that can preserve the earth and maybe more resources for the future, then remember that God has the final say and will destroy the wicked earth that we live today.

Whether we go green or not isn't relevant, Jesus will come back!

I'm very religious, but I'm Forn Sed, a type of Nordic heathenism, not a christian. We take our responsibility toward the earth and the environment very seriously. We like Earth Day because at least a few people who wouldn't ordinarily think about such things as composting and recycling - things we do automatically - suddenly pay a bit of attention.

In my faith, Midgard, the realm we live in that includes the Earth, was a GIFT to us from the Gods themselves. They expect us to care for it as one would care for any other precious, living gift. We do view the Earth and everything in it as a living entity, so we tend to be very mindful of our actions toward our planet.

I smoke Kool Menthol cigarettes... everytime i finish a pack i litter them out of my truck window because the pack is green in color... therefore everytime i litter i am helping to "make the earth more green" since that seems to be the hip thing to do lately.

Why wouldn't they? People who believe in God are likely to look upon the Earth as God's gift to mankind.

Don't you appreciate the gifts you've been given?

I'm a Christian and try to do my best to save the environment.

I have my own big linen shopping bags so that i wouldn't have to use plastic ones every time i go grocery shopping :)

God has given us this great green Earth, so it is our job to protect it, regardless of religious beliefs or lack of.

I believe in God and i appreciate Earth day,humans have ruint this planet through greed.

Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
