Did he somehow miss the entire point of Jesus coming to earth in the first place?
Many have mistaken humanism for Christianity, and therefore the god of this world for the God of heaven. Some false teachers will say Jesus was a socialist, and pull a few Bible verses out of context to make it appear so. They end up replacing God with human governments as the only way to feed the poor, save the planet, ensure economic equality, all the worldly things that matter in this life but not the next.
According to the humanism, the answer is yes. That is because humanism (and its religious sibling, liberal Christianity) downplays the spiritual aspect of human beings - that we are spiritual beings in a material world. Instead, the biological aspects are emphasized, and so obviously, saving the earth is more important than saving souls, because “souls” are superstitious, non-scientific nonsense, as opposed to tangible, scientific entities like anatomy and biology, in that way of thinking.
Thanks for posting these. I’d like to be on the Ping list, please.
Meanwhile, they behave as if they believe this a million times more than any Fundamentalist could. It's like they think if life on earth were to vanish the whole universe would cease to exist.
No, savings souls is more important.
We have to remember that God is in control of our temporary surroundings.
No. Next question.

And this tripe doesn't help their case at all:
If the Church were Christian, we would do what Jesus did–equip one another to live better in this world and stop fretting about the next one.
F'reals?
