Do you honestly think, man is the only sentient being on this planet?
Many would argue Dolphins, elephants, primates, even Dogs all to one degree or another can check these very same attributes of this list, yet every single one of those animals are subject and have been subjugated to man's will in one way or another.

So then how are we to them any different than what you are saying God sees us?


Quote:Does it make sense to believe that god created me with all these wonderful faculties and then turned around expecting me to act like a lifeless piece of clay (as some versions render this verse)?

It is idiotic that Christians complain about evolving from apes dehumanized them, yet they are ready to accept this teaching.
how so?
Yes, human's have a double standard and do not always treat others the way we want to be treated. But when you plays tu quoque you demonstrate that the nature of your god is no better than the nature of humans.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
