C'mon, just as soon as the rest of us go-getters are done having our way with the Earth's riches and whatnot, and we've passed on, you can totally have whatever remains. At that point, it's yours, free and clear.

So, you know, Meek, please quit your bellyaching and being such a downer. Your harshing my ravage, pillage, and plunder buzz.

Beetles are pretty meek, and they shall indeed inherit the Earth if humans ever get wiped out.

As for Luke, he was probably speaking metaphorically about lighting everybody up with the fir'y spirit o' God. So, whatever.

2. Earth is like those nifty trick birthday candles that relight after you blow 'em out. Try it and see!

Malachy's prophecy is sort of like the Millennium Bug. And the Mayan Calendar. And the Millerite Great Disappointment.

The perversity of the christian faith lies in its yearning for annihilation. The symbol of the faith is a device for administering the death penalty, the electric chair of the ancient world. The major holiday in that tradition is a celebration of the state sponsored murder of that religion's founder. The terminal section of its holy book is a description of how the entire planet is to be likewise executed. The martyr, or someone who is hungry to die, is the exemplar. "No greater love hath he than he who is willing to lay down his life....". the entirety of the christian faith is a death cult.

They practice ritualized cannibalism during their weekly services, symbolically eating a dead guy's body and drinking his blood. Their received text in numerous passages glorifies genocide, infanticide, and horrific acts of torture. to be elevated to the highest status (saint) its practically a requirement that you be slaughtered; in fact, the more horrific your death is, the more admiration you receive.

No, I've had it with St. Mlalachy and all those who lust for apocalypse. Death is real and unavoidable, but its insane to lust after it. Especially if you hunger for the death of the entire world, including billions of people who have not consented to your mad visions of global extermination.

I do not want a religion of death. I want a philosophy of life.

Me? I'm just hungry for brunch.

Although I must say that I agree wholeheartedly that the meek will inherit the Earth. It's just that it will be because no one else wants it because we trashed it so badly.
