There has been a lot of assignments and exams this week and more next week, so I'll be brief with this week's entry. The lecture itself was regarding the environment, and the role religion plays in it.
In the Bible, it is said that God has created everything, including plants and vegetations. So does this mean that our environment belongs to God? Whether the answer is yes or no, it seems like a good reason for religious sacts to campaign for better environment; it has been created by God so it deserves to be preserved. Yet so far, I have not heard of any particular religion involved in a high-profile campaign to preserve the environment which continues to be degraded.

This is understandable, though, and I should keep in mind not to sound too arrogant with my remarks. There's probably a religious organisation that I haven't heard of which is campaigning for the rights of cleaner and better environment. And such campaigns cost money - often the large scaled international campaigns that actually make a difference can only be funded by states and government because of the high cost involved.

I do thnk that our environment is something that needs to be actively protected and preserved, and if religion can give us more reasons to do so, then that's truly a good thing.
