Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Did anyone else hear growing up "Environmentalism is un-Christian because it's a form of Gaia worship (and therefore idolatry)"? (hexbear.net)

This randomly popped into my head from my childhood, I searched for it online, and apparently it's not even that uncommon of a Christian take today.

He observed that the world cannot be analysed by isolating one of its aspects, since "the book of nature is one and indivisible", and includes the environment, life, sexuality, the family, social relations, and so forth. It follows that "the deterioration of nature is closely connected to the culture which shapes human coexistence".

That seems totally correct to me. Just not in the way they want it to be.
