Not only do you know dick but you are also being a dick toward animals that help humans every day to get around (like blind people) or the ones that actually go and rescue people in dangerous situations giving their own life in the process. Go and tell a person who has been saved by a dog that animals don't have any morals or tell it to the blind person who has a guiding dog and listen what they will tell you.
Not to mention animal behavior toward each other like parenting.
When it comes to questions how to serve and pray Stan - why it's easy. According to Christians you're already doing it by doing all sorts of things, like: watching Star Wars (because to them Darth Vader looks like Odin, Yoda has three fingers like Satan's agent and not to mention Obi-Wan), eating wrong cereals, watching Smurfs (because they are gays), watching He-Man cartoons (cuz he is "Master of Universe" and only Jesus can be MOTU), listening Heavy Metal music AND MANY MORE!!
If you want to see how are you praying to Satan watch this Christian video
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

How many times do I have to ask you dummies for a source?
If you know any expert that claims animals are moral beings then post the evidence.
Don't respond without any linked sources or else concede the point.

Contrary to what is often supposed, your prey – large mammals such as South American cattle – are quite good at detecting you and sometime you go an entire night without feeding. Then you are in trouble. Two nights without food and you are dead.
Vampire bats, in a manner that would I am sure have delighted Charles Darwin had he known of it, have developed an ingenious way round this problem. They hang around (sorry!) in groups but form reciprocal relationships with particular individuals. Suppose you and I are such a pair and you go a night without food while I have been more successful. I typically regurgitate a meal of blood for you. When next I go a night without getting a meal of my own you reciprocate by regurgitating a meal for me.
Evolutionary biologists call this reciprocal altruism. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Now, reciprocal altruism isn't restricted to vampire bats. It is found in a number of long-lived species where individuals can recognise one another as individuals. Supremely, of course, it is found in humans
You may want to check your sources before you google search and try to find anything that agrees with your position.
This priest was using the example of the Bats to make a, for lack of a better term, 'spiritual' comparison.
I take it you and Tizheruk are in agreement with what the priest says?

Since you kudosed The Industrial Atheist post I'll take that to mean from now on you're willing to accept religious sources...
