Some say nature is God, some say it's a part of God, and some say it reflects God's goodness. Others say nature is rewarding to the soul. Shrug
What is nature to you?

It's something to do with the foodchain I think. They help keeping flies and other bugs populations balanced so that the world wouldn't be run over by flies. But why do we need flies and other bugs? Scary... Eh who knows. God made them so there must be a purpose for them right?

Nature is.. realizing you are human, and that as a human you do not need 1000’s of earthly possessions to keep you company. It’s when you realize you feel more succesful just being cool hanging out under a tree than you ever have in a job. INature is accepting that society got you trapped in some down moments for a while but you realize you are home now. When people actually want to build something useful, and not caught in Satan’s world of drifting and benefiting people society deemed more important. It’s when you put your hand in the water and accept it for what it is, and that you can’t always control the temperature. It’s when you’re fine with what is, not what could have been, or what should be. Nature is remembering your natural habitat, is not confined of limits or how to behave around people who are too insecure to be themselves and limit you as well. It’s when you want to climb a tree regardless of whether it has a point but just to have fun and experience life. It’s when you get scraps and don’t cry about it. When you’re actually grateful you had food tonight. When you realize God has provided everything you need. It’s when you realize you wish you really had toothpaste. It’s when you realize you could have your friends with you. It’s when you realize you should go back to society you just need some peace and calm every now and then.

Why would god want to make people suffer by using bugs that may or may not carry infections.

I care about the environment a lot, it’s a nice escape from the city/suburb life. It’s nice to get outdoors in a more natural environment and it’s very cool to see animal life. I think nature can help us feel closer to our cultural roots as well.

If people never let sin in the world would have looked a whole lot different. Shrug

Parents punish their kids when they did something wrong because they love them. That's radical? It's logical I think. I plan to punish my kids too if they do wrong.

I plan to punish my kids too if they do wrong. Oh but because they might've stolen a chocolate bar or been mean to another person now means I can: Give them viruses/infections, give them bad luck, make them go through physical harm or/and psychological harm, "divine punishment", send them to hell and have them burn for all eternity, the list goes on. Point is, punishing others isn't love, it's a way of controlling others using the reward and punishment tactic, and the origin of sin wasn't my doing, so why am I- no, all of us being punished for something we haven't done. Anyway I'm getting too involved in this and to be honest this deserves it's own thread so i'll sleep now (it's 2am for me )

It'll save the government money too so I guess that's a good thing? Shrug

It's also a fallacy to think that every person in jail is just waiting to do more shit once they are back in society, most murderers only kill one person in their life, normally due to the fact that it was an targeted attack on a very specific person.
