You make an argument in the form of a question with no support. That's an argument from ignorance.
Quote:Are you really comparing watching suitable/unsuitable content to murder?The argument was generalized to pleasing/displeasing. If you now specifically want killing, then: I can kill many kinds of animals to eat them even though I don't need meat to survive. I can kill many kinds of animals just because I consider them to be pests. I cannot kill human beings for those reasons. When I ask atheists why this is so, the usual reason is that we have superior rights (including rights over life and death) to other species due to our superior intelligence. Problem for them is that, since god has superior intelligence to humans, you should likewise recognize that he has such rights over humans.
I gave you kudos because I think it is a novel argument. Nevertheless I think the dividing line is based on sentience not degree of intelligence.
