Nature must not be worshipped: Judeo-Christian values, Part XVI

[Steppe Merc]

I for one am absolute dedicated to preserving nature as best we can - however that is a far cry from worshipping it.

I was aware of your love of nature, but didn't want to put words in your mouth. I am glad we agree that we have to preserve nature.
But the author seems to be lumping those that care about nature with nature worshipers with this:

Major elements in secular Western society are returning to a form of nature worship. Animals are elevated to equality with people, and the natural environment is increasingly regarded as sacred. The most extreme expressions of nature worship actually view human beings as essentially blights on nature.

The author seems to be condemming all of those that care about nature, which is a very slippery slope to be on. One could be called a nature worshipper (or more commonly tree hugger) for some of their views, but not be a nature worshipper. And I'm pretty sure there aren't that many nature worshippers around anymore.

That and I am not a very good Christian since I have a shelf full of Native American fetish's that have different meanings and I know what they are. And in my office I have a Navajo Sand Painting to ward off bad luck

Where did you aquire them, if I may ask? I've seen different Native American stores when I went to Colorado, and also closer to home in New Hope, and most of the stuff was either insanely expensive, and I really doubted any of it was remotley authentic. Some of the pipes were interesting though...
And nothing wrong with having a good luck charm, it's best to cover as many bases as possible.
