Since you refuse to see the irony of your assertion, let me be slightly clearer: humans are the only creature that invent gods and onenesses, therefore humans are the only creature that complain about gods and onenesses affecting them. Grasses are not located anywhere near a humans own assumed supremacy above all and therefore are "under the radar" of being afflicted by the idiotic concept of gods "love" while this god or oneness is killing untold billions of other forms of life.
