I'm not so sure about that, surely it is the other way around? Humanity shares some things with God, surely?
The way the human mind works is fasinating to me. That morality is wholey subjective I have no doubt now, and I still claim that there exist no truely amorral human being. Lots of things seem to move in circles to me, fashion, philosophey, why not indeed understanding of alt sexuality. My own thoughts on animals nad how we treat them have seemd to change dramaticly over the years. Once a proud supporter of PETA, my stance has almost done a complete backflip. I understand the beinfits to homo sapian of certian animal testing and can now only see us at the top of the food chain, using other beasts in this way does not somehow seem unatural anymore to me. I would love to see other higher sentiance animals granted certian rights, and I would love to see the treatment of our food stock get better the globe over. Mental illness is a particular bugbear of mine and has been so for many years now. Most of my thoughts on this subject run towards descovering just what is considered mental wellness. A great freind of mine told me some years ago that everybody at some time suffers from mental health issues, I am now inclined to believe him. Consider though, it is considered normal for a child to end up in hospital with a broken bone of some sorts during the course of their growth into adult hood. So the possiblity of broken bones is considered normal, yet a person who may be turned not neuro typical is right away labeled not normal. Yeah I don't get that. As to how notions get conreateasied, I guess that is down to upbrining and socialisation.
