An atheist was walking through the woods admiring the nature around him. “What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals,” he said to himself.

The self-proclaimed stewards of the Earth have failed miserably, and their excuse that the rapture is upon us and Earth and its sinners will be destroyed is lacking in any factual basis.
One might say I’ve lost my sense of humor. More likely, god took it from me as punishment for being an atheist.
Good point.
