This. Peace cannot come unless the civilians on both sides are loudly and forcefully willing to die rather than kill civilians on the other side. The problems can only be solved on an individual level.

You would need to find a way to make food spontaneously emit microwaves so it loses energy and cools off. That probably involves altering the strength of one of the nuclear forces or something.

 

Apparently my church has a sustainability committee. Naturally I must give them thoughts. All I can think of so far are smart thermostats, LEDs, and replacing the monoculture grass with something pollinator-friendly. What else should be considered? Are there obvious common things that can be improved on?

I suggest a different approach in some blog posts I worked through a couple years ago: https://saladeggs.blogspot.com/2021/06/reconstructing-christian-ethics-01.html

In short, I suggest sin is that part of you that drives you to self-destruction and destruction of others, and the actions flowing out of it. Discipleship is the process of becoming a non-destructive person.
