When we destroy nature, we create hell on earth for other species and for ourselves. Nature is our mother, our home, our security, our peace, our past and our future. We should treat natural things and habitats as believers treat their temples and shrines, as sacred - to be revered and preserved in all their intricate and fragile beauty. Pantheism satisfies our need to revere something greater than ourselves - yet it never turns its back on the earth, and never departs from the evidence before us. Pantheism fuses religion and science, matter and spirit.
Pantheism is rooted in the present world.
It reconciles concern for humans, and concern for the planet. It places life, not death, in the focus of our concern. Pantheism is a religion that does not require you to sacrifice reason. It demands no faith in impossible events, only common sense and science. It requires no special revelation, only that you keep your eyes open to earth and skies, and your mind open to evidence.
