re: #603 Aceofwhat?

It’s no insult. An animal understandably uses the tools at its disposal in an attempt to be dominant, including killing others of its own species.

In a human, the same activity is deplorable, and i only use that word because i’m at a temporary loss for a stronger term.

To act “as an animal” is to leave all shred of morality and humanity behind. It’s ok for animals to act like animals. They’re animals. It’s no insult to them; rather, it’s a towering insult to say that a person has discarded everything which makes them human. God said that He made us in His image, by which I believe He means that He added a spiritual component to our physical body. To act as an animal is to discard one’s spirit and thereby any shred of redeemable quality.

I couldn’t fail to disagree less.
