Morality in animals
#19
RE: Morality in animals
I find it interesting that theists have been starting and contributing, in large numbers, to various threads about morality.

Yet, here's another thread on morality, this one about morality in animals, and they are strangely silent. What gives?

Other threads on morality have reached 100's of pages, yet this one lies dormant. 

Come on theists. Why the sudden disinterest in discussions about morality? 

It couldn't be that animal morality proves that humans are nothing special in the animal kingdom, and that there are perfectly natural explanations for morality, no deity required, could it?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
