I was updating my web page recently, and came upon this little gem. I thought that it was too harsh, and removed it from public view. I did keep a copy for the future, and have decided that now is the time to post it.

I've thought about the Christian idea that man has dominion over animals. I believe, as my ancestors believed, that this is not so. Christian-Man reads in his Bible that he has dominion over nature, yet he looks at his world and sees that it isn't so. Diseases wreak havoc on his family, wild animals and insects destroy his crops, and natural forces destroy his home. Yet his God tells him that he has dominion, so he tries to make it so. He invents cures for diseases – yet new diseases come to take their place. He uses toxins and barriers to protect his crops, yet new breeds of insects and smarter animals attack them still. He has no control over the weather, although he wishes it was so. All hail Christian-Man, Master of the Natural World.

Sha-win-da-ka!
