I don't subscribe to pseudo-theistic beliefs like "human life is special".
A scientific understanding of the world around us shows that we all boil down to atoms or molecules, just in different arrangements. We came about through accidental processes of evolution, and soon we will be annihilated.
There is nothing that makes us special other than our own delusions.
Amen.
The delusion that human life is special decrease the probability that YOU will be clubbed to a pulp for someone else's afternoon entertainment. Of course YOU in your infinite realism would not care for such delusions and would therefore gladly suffer undecreased probability of being turned into ground meat.
