Always thinking his instinct driven will and desires is so righteous any inconvenient realities can be banished by his righteous decree, or better yet, the power of inconvenient reality can be expunged by the simply by refusing to learn about them.
How is stating the obvious being "Brian".
How many ways can it be said that we are the same species? How many ways can it be said that we all die, and no one group owns a patent on our existence?
I am not looking to be "righteous". I am merely saying all 7 billion of us are the same species, with the same range of good and bad behaviors.
What really sucks for the atheist, is that most of us here can identify with having family and friends WE LOVE, but cringe when they talk about old mythology and super cognitions. If the theist wants to claim they are capable of good, WE FUCKING AGREE, you most certainly are capable of good. We simply disagree that you need a sky hero or magic to explain your capability for such actions.

Stating what Brian wishes to be true as if wishing it makes it obviously and indisputably true is Brian (you) being Brian (intellectual self-important and wish thinking as best exemplified by you).
That all humans are the same specie is true. None of the conclusion you would like to follow from it naturally follow from it. Being the same specie does not automatically mean we should empathize with eachother, be kind to each other, or any of those wonderful things. In fact it does not even follow that we as a specie would likely be more successful or longer lasting if we were to be all highly empathetic towards one another. You need to do much better.

So true.. We are all a bunch of bones and organs and other squishy stuff. It's just a pity that our wiring is so different.

RationalPoet..... Who the fuck is trying to conclude that by rightfully saying we are the same species that we should always "empathize" with the conclusions of fuckface bullies?
We are the same species, PERIOD! Both in our compassionate and cruel behaviors. It is still up to humans how we interact with each other. I don't wish anything to be true. I do HOPE that my fellow humans can pull their collective bullshit tribal heads out of their asses. If you want to make an argument that that is more or less possible, that would be a better argument.
And no, I am not self important. I am simply one life among billions. If my desire to see humans stop fighting each other, and my desire to see the only home we have taken care of, color me guilty. Now ask me if I give a fuck?
