Once more we observe the anthropomorphism of 'mother' nature, attribution of the better human qualities of consciousness and reason along with a mixture of the less desirable qualities of jealousy and wrathful retribution to an ascribed overseer of reality which gives rise to an arbitrary set of rules in lieu of obedience to the laws of nature resulting in the consequences of religious beliefs and practices we are witness to today.
EDDIE51 @ Almost every conceivable thing known to man has, at one time or another, been worshiped as a god or a goddess. The sun, moon, stars and planets have all been objects of worship from time immemorial. Plants and animals, insects and reptiles, animate and inanimate creatures were all added to the collection of gods. Mosquitoes, flies, monkeys, boars, cobras and cows, trees and rivers are still numbered among the prominent gods of today.

Now which of the world’s religions has established genuine peace among its adherents earth wide? Surely, members of the true religion, spiritual brothers, will not be killing one another.

Some reason person tells us that God must soon act to save the earth from man’s ruinous activities, and Bible prophecy confirms this. But what will he do? The Bible says that he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:18) Just as a landlord ejects a destructive tenant, so God will “eject” those who ruin his beautiful creation, the earth.
