[quote:Anonymous Coward 21682593:MV8xOTcyNjkxXzMzMTIxNzk3X0UwQ0Y5NzAz] I follow the Native American Ten Commandments. 1 - The Earth is our Mother care for her. 2 - Honor all your relations. 3 - Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit. 4 - All life is sacred, treat all beings with respect. 5 - Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more. 6 - Do what needs to be done for the good of all. 7 - Give constant thanks to the Great Spirit for each new day. 8 - Speak the truth, but only of the good in others. 9 - Follow the rhythms of the nature, rise and retire with the sun. 10 - Enjoy lifes journey but leave no tracks.

Original Message
In Genesis 1:28 (KJV) it says: "........ Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:..."
There's a lot going on in that verse. REPLENISH the earth???? What does the word 'replenish' actually mean?
Replenish = to fill up again; to restore to the FORMER level or condition; to RE-PEOPLE!!
What did "God" do to the earth and its people that he gives the command to REPLENISH it?
THINK PEOPLE!!!Dammit - THINK!!!
Then it goes on to say that our Earthly Mother needs to be SUBDUED! What does 'subdue' actually mean?
Subdue = Overcome or bring under control; to bring under control by physical FORCE.
Wouldn't a caring, loving god tell the people to honor and respect Mother Earth and take care of Her? What kind of god tells the people (indirectly) to rape and plunder Mother Earth (subdue)?
