mike..and where do the human spiritual practises get them?...look at this world...get real it's full of bloodshed!..merle Merle,
No confusion here whatsoever. Human's have the ability/potential to act with compassion in every action (***regardless*** of examples where they don't). Animals don't have, or don't demonstrate this, anywhere near human's capabilities. A dog waiting for his master to come home. Or a kitten suckling from a pig isn't the same thing. Man has had religious beliefs and practiced religious rituals for millennia. Where's the same evidence for any other species spiritual practices? Mike Sent from Yahoo!
