I recycle, therefore I'm a bad Christian? Surely that is not your implication.

No, of course not. If you want to do it, great! That's your perogative. I am talking about when cities mandate that you will recycle.

It is my opinion that much of this type of legislation is a result of pagan or "new age" influences in our culture.

Here is a good article I found that explains what I am trying to say: Click Here

Here is a quote form the article, "A basic belief of the New age is the mother earth is the goddess Gaia. She is alive and we are killing her. She gave birth to us and we are destroying our own mother. Conservative Christians are the worst offenders".

My contention is that recycling is akin to a sacrement in the Christian religion.

We are living in different times than 300 years ago or even 50 years ago. Today the US is being overpopulated from illegal aliens etc.

Do you want a landfill in your backyard thereby reducing your home's price by 50-60%.

The reason I'm for recycling is I live out in the country and we get all the city liberals crap(literally) and their garbage.

Thanks for responding...I didn't actually think that you meant that. I'm completely against mandated recycling, unless the voters of a community decide that its best for them and are well informed of every aspect of recycling programs. Folks who do think of recycling as something sacramental give me the willies, frankly. They remind me of old ladies with 200 cats. Pack rat syndrome. They don't actually recycle. They keep bags of garbage in their basements, closets, garages, sheds, along the side of the house..."...but I'm saving Mother Nature!" Blah, blah. They're crazy. We have voluntary recycling in our community so I just recycle the regular stuff curbside. We donate our old tennis shoes so the soles can be recycled into game courts. I set things like cereal boxes and egg cartons aside because my kids use them for crafts. All this we do because we choose to, not because we're told to.
