I wasn't guessing. I thought I remember correctly that you said so. You said that you have a son and after that you became a vegetarian. Am I paying attention?Because you want his opinion or because you don't know?

I want to understand why the statement was made.Because you want his opinion or because you don't know?
It makes perfect sense to me that to have dominion over another should come with empathy.I want to understand why the statement was made.
It does not make sense to me.
Perhaps i am misunderstanding something.
yesI wasn't guessing. I thought I remember correctly that you said so. You said that you have a son and after that you became a vegetarian. Am I paying attention?
I am wonderful!
sorryIt is not funny! It is true.
Pretty close, but it gets worse than biological hierarchy. Without God the entire moral categories of good and evil, the foundation for racial equality, the sanctity of human life, the inherent worth of man, justice, objective meaning and purpose, etc....... are all out the window.Aha. I think that you are saying that God gave humans dominion over the other animals, but if a person does not believe in God then he shouldn't have dominion over the other animals. Am I close?
I do not see the irony, where's the irony, are they giving out irony instead of participation trophies these days? I want mine.I should probably point out the irony of the saying, "all other forms of life". Haha! I love this place.
I do not understand the question, or at least it appears to leave nothing to question. If I have empathy towards another person I would be acting inconsistently with it if I also went and forced them to submit to my own will. I do not want to be forced to pick cotton 18 hours a day so I empathize with others who do not wish to either. I use the word dominate to mean to force submission upon a creature without it's consent nor it's creators consent. Do you deny that we dominate all other forms of life we are aware of?What does empathy have to do with domination?

Which one and why?I think theymightwill disagree with that.
i agree.I do not understand the question, or at least it appears to leave nothing to question.

That's what Paul said.Jesus Christ is love. Love like His is found in no other.
Which one what?Which one and why?
Bacteria is a life form.I do not see the irony, where's the irony, are they giving out irony instead of participation trophies these days? I want mine.
I concur with your agreement. The problem is that unless you believe in a God at least similar to mine, everything you agreed with isn't true. Only if God exists do we actually have the apex sovereignty we assume we do. Without God we are merely acting on speciesm or might makes right. We all like to adopt cherished moral norms, but most can only be founded upon God. That is why Jefferson (who was no Christian) said our rights are founded in God. No God, no rights.i agree.
Wrong. Laws creates rights and the rights it creates are real.I concur with your agreement.

Neither and both.Which one what?Posterhuman here?
I need to know the "who" or at least the "that" to respond to you. If you mean atheists and all of it, I can agree, but if anything else then I will need to know which.I think they might will disagree with that
