Brian D. McLaren Quotes
I've Come To See That Just As The Doctrine Of Discovery Was Used To Justify White Christian Supremacy And The Exploitation Of Nonwhites And Non-Christians, The "doctrine Of Dominion" (Genesis 1:28) Is Still Being Used To Justify Human Supremacy And The Exploitation Of The Earth And All Its Creatures. Aided And Abetted By Harmful Doctrines About The Future (especially "left Behind" Dispensationalist Eschatology), Industrial-era Christians Have Used Toxic, Industrial-strength Beliefs To Legitimize The Plundering Of The Earth, Without Concern For Future Generations Of Humans, Much Less Our Fellow Creatures. After All, If Jesus Is Coming Back Soon, And If God Will Soon Destroy The Earth And Take Righteous Souls To Heaven, Who Cares About The Earth? What's A Little Human Domination In Comparison To Divine Damnation?
