The Second Coming and Sustainability

A reader notes: Many of the Christians in the USA think Jesus’s return is not far off, thus a huge disincentive for long term sustainability.

I actually ran into a fellow who told me that we was rooting for the apocalypse, but this level of extremism must be somewhat rare.

Having said that, religious people of all stripes tend not to be too into sustainability, for the very reason that their belief system doesn’t rely on things like science and evidence, and that God’s plan, whatever that might be, is infinitely more powerful than anything humankind can do.
