whats the deferent?
| What's the difference between choosing which color your prefer and choosing what value to apply to a living being? Seriously? You said yourself that a person's value consists in their being made a living thing by God. Quote: |
If i had to save the kitne or the kid i dont know what i do
| I'm not asking what you would do. I'm asking whether you believe choosing to save a kitten instead of an infant is morally upright.

| Shawn, I'm pointing out how incoherent you're being. You say there is no difference in choosing which color you prefer and I used your own words to show you didn't actually believe that. Quote:

| But the scenario I'm presenting only gives the fireman the opportunity to choose to save one. So if he saved the kitten instead of the child would it be just as ethical as decision as if he chose to save the child instead of the kitten?

I do not
I believe both deserve equal chance to live | Bout to get theological
1st, how bout a moral system, animals don't follow one, they will happily eat their own children, while most people wouldn't even do that to survive.
2nd, A soul, Animals have no religion, no desire to worship God, they can't comprehend a necessity for God
3rd, Who cares if animals have blood and organs too. Jeffery Dahmer had organs like I do, but I'm not a serial killer, because I don't have mental problems. Because you see, where we differ from animals is our capacity to think. Animals can learn, but they can not think on our level, you don't see monkeys flying airplanes they built, or doing multi-variable calculus.
I have nothing against the right of animals to live, I certainly don't go out and kill every animal I can find, because i think they don't deserve to live.
You also know this as the food chain, you can say a bear and a salmon are equal, but that salmon's equality doesn't do much when its being eaten by the bear. Same thing with us, would you rather be killed by the bear, or kill it. Doesn't it in fact deserve to live? so therefore you should let it kill you right?
God never once made any such case as the fact of equality, Yes God created us as well as animals, but did he say we were equal, most certainly not, I do believe He said, go out and subdue the earth, not "don't hurt the animals cause they are your equals"

you also see many animals work at a level humans enevr have
and animals notice things we don't Quote:

Same thing with us, would you rather be killed by the bear, or kill it. Doesn't it in fact deserve to live? so therefore you should let it kill you right? | when something kills its about three things most of the time
Food
Territory
young
a bear kills me he may eat me
he is right
if i kill the bear to survive i am right
neither is wrong
i see nothing wrong with defending your self
what is wrong is animals dying for none of the three reasons mitioend above Quote:

as in we are the "kings of creation"
how ever just because someone is a rural dose not mean they are more improvident
is king tut mor imorpant thjen you?
is any rulear more impoanrt (exscluding god) |

| Another thread descended into the infernal bowels of ridiculum with Shawn holding the reigns. This entire discussion is the very definition of complete and utter madness.

| I think we've gone off topic far enough and everyone's had their say on the original topic. If you wanna further discuss the philosphical equality of animals and humans go nuts in the philosphy forum. |
