Nature is demonic and is run by the god of this world, who is also known as "Satan". This is what ancient Christians believed and it's in the New Testament. Why do you think all the pagans religions worship it? Now we're trying to flip the labels so Christians can be corrupt and well-meaning people will be tricked into doing the will of the devil.

You're fucking retarded and so is the concept of "God".

Nature existing by itself isn't logical.

Nature doesn't require that you understand it, nor do you need to, nor do you need a myth to.

It isn't possible though. The cause in any case is your perception.

The cosmos is too vast for tiny humans to perceive or comprehend it all. Any attempt is folly.

So make up a myth to box it in and explain it all if that makes you feel better, but that's all fiction and you're only fooling yourselves while handing over logic and power to those who would exploit and abuse it, intentionally or not.

But you are perceiving it. You're also perceiving the fact that you can't perceive it all.

What I'm trying to say is the mind causes existence, not the other way around. The reverse is logically impossible.

All that is true.
None of that justifies making up mythical excuses for existence.

Then you admit that you are ultimately above nature. Therefore it cannot be the source of morals regarding us. They can't come from anything in this world.

Do you really want a world where only the elite survive and the rest suffer and die? Where everyone battles each other to the death? Where no individual has any value, except to advance the species? You're thinking from the perspective that we're nothing but machines, but you know from your own existence that's not true. Why do you value the worthless, pointless things of the world which were never even real to begin with, above the good of real individuals? If we can avoid it, should we really all have to suffer and cause suffering to continue this pointless game of life? Shouldn't we make the most of it and remedy what we can? This is not just any video game or simulation. It's one where real people are stuck as the characters and can't exit. It's not like a normal video game where you're simply having fun and not actually putting anyone through whatever it is that happens.

If nature had its way the most evil, brutal creatures would be commended. Indeed they already are. Believe me, nature doesn't have your interests at heart, or anyone else's.

I never said any such thing.

If you can't debate honestly I have no time for you.

The food chain is topped by fierce creatures. And humanity is topped by Machiavellians. That doesn't negate us nor the rest of "creation". You are projecting your own mythological subjective speculation rather than reasoned logic.

Believe me, nature doesn't have your interests at heart, or anyone else's.

Nature doesn't need to have any interests at all. Nature, including us, simply exists, undeniably. Existence is.

I am a part of nature.
Natural Law applies to all of us, whether you admit it or not.
I don't think you even know what Natural Law is, nor do you care to learn, because your religious fervor is getting in your own way. Learn: Mark Passio Natural Law, and maybe some Zen Buddhism and Existentialism, then come at me.
