"naturalistic view" seems very subjective and confusing since it has too wide an interpretation.HexHammer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 6:22 pmSpecify please.Greatest I am wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 5:49 pm Would a naturalistic view of god be beneficial during our present animal extinction event?

Instead of having some guy in the sky supernatural god, which only makes god an abstract.
I think making Gaia our highest god, given that we know that without her cooperation and our upkeep of her, could lead to our extinction.
If we venerated nature, as some ideologies do, we would just be returning to an older mind set that put the needs of people ahead of the needs of some abstract god.
Supernatural gods have no need that mankind can fill and man serving man is the only way for us to serve any god.
Man first, god second, should be our goal and mind set. If we are important to any god, then we should emulate the gods by putting man above god like Jesus did. He said he came to serve and not be served and Gaia would want to do the same but cannot if we are hampering her the way we are doing today with our wanton destruction.
