Animal Slavery

[Rahul]

Now for Part II:

We do as we please with animals. Some we kill. Some we imprison and use for our purposes. Some we show favor to. Some we ignore. We do this merely because we can, or we justify it by our greater mental capacity.

How, then, do we justify criticism of God for his treatment of us? Cannot he use the same justifications that we use regarding animals?

Not the christian god certainly. He's directly responsible for our existence and made us in his image supposedly. As humans we just take advantage of and try to control the animals we are stuck with.
