Love hearing Christians advocate against being Christlike. Sad that you are in the majority of American Christians who would not lift a finger to help someone in need

No. I'm just realistic. Mankind is not going to adapt over night. If change comes over night, mankind will riot. That's how we are. The individual can do something about it. The masses won't. It has happend. Only recently even. During COVID. We all know how people reacted on only a very brief risk of having to change their lifestyle. With looting and foraging.

"Imagine it's war and nobody goes" does not work! Collective action would be required. However that does only happen if sitting on our butts becomes more inconvenient than acting. We are lazy bastards. Like everything in the universe we always strive for the lowest possible level of energy. Or in our case, the lowest level of inconvenience. Thus, alas, things have to become way more inconvenient for us to act as a collective, not just as individuals that cannot change anything alone.

Its oftentimes happenstance. If I had went a different career path that had gained traction quickly enough I might have had kids in the late 90's before I realized how messed up things were. Late 90's me thought recycling was being recycled and we had a handle on things and would only work harder to do more as a society for the environment.
