So, what you are saying is:
Trees are growing today just so that humans can come along and use them as tools and just make paper? Now, I'm not saying we can't use the plants for our needs, but we are needlessly killing the trees thanks to our pollution, fires, and harvesting so we can make pointless objects for our own amusement.

I think I may be mistranslating your second sentence, but I think I should strongly disagree with what I think you are stating there.

Stopping the factories would not give off pollution, it would stop some of it. The main sources of pollution today, in my opinion, are cars and big industrial factories. Those things give off massive pollution, not trees. Trees help fight back against it...

Atheists.
I think Atheists are almost hypocritical in the sense that they always accuse anyone religious (mainly Christians) of being silly for believing this or believing that. Well, inversely, it's just as easy for a Christian to say to an Atheist 'you're silly for not believing in God.' I think that if Atheists really tried to practice what they preach, they'd end up being Agnostic, saying 'Well there's no way to prove it either way.' I, as a Christian, think both Atheists and Agnostics are wrong, but it's a lot easier for me to respect someone who is Agnostic because I think they're more respectful to everyone's beliefs. I, to my best recollection, do not remember ever having met an Atheist who's attitude towards myself or Christians in general was 'Yes, that's your belief, I think you're wrong but I can respect you as a person.'

Also, don't turn this into a religion war because that's not what was intended.

Actually I meant that in past tense, meaning...well, meaning exactly what the bold says.

And...america sucks...it sucks so badly in fact, that it does not deserve a capital A. We live for ourselves and don't care what future generations will go through because of our mistakes.
