Quote:We think what animals do is love because it resembles what we do. All in all, we can decide to love. They can't so it's not love.

Quote: It's the BRAIN, or, the soul, that gives us human rights.
I never thought I would find a theist who clearly underlines that rights and therefor moral values are the result of the brain - therefor thought. And didnt come down from a intergalactic dictator.
