Now how many people here who used "it's a life or potential life" arguement voted to go to war? How many voted on measures to clear out forests and build on land thus killing a ton of life? Be honest now. If you did. Then you show arrogance and have commited the same sin Satan did. You viewed yourself (human life) as more important than other forms of life.

By the end of the day humans who value life, are on a cosmic scale, hippocrites. To gain energy and surrvive a human must consume/absorb something to gain that energy. However you cannot eat a non living thing such as a rock and get energy. To gain energy a human must eat something that also absorbs energy. The only things that can do that are living creatures. Therefore you are a hippocrite. You say you value life? Then stop eating. Or can you not stop eating other living creatures (which makes them dead and makes you a killer) because you value yourself above all else? Granted many people do not actually kill their own source of energy they still eat it and it was still a living creature. It's still the same thing. You don't value it's life or respect it since you did nothing to stop it or protest against it. That is life. It is unescapable. In fact for those who so value the fetus did you know when you eat fruits you are eating the fetus of the plant? You are no different than a creature who would rip the fetus out of a pregnant woman and eat it to survive.

As to this crap about morality. No one wants to help anyone else when it costs them time or resources. What do they get in return for it? This again is humanity take it or leave it. Instincts say to always gain from all of your dealings so that you can survive. So why should someone have a baby to give it away? Yes it's nice but they gain nothing from it. This in itself is primitive behavior. It's part of us.

The most arrogant and insulting thing I have heard thus far though in my life is that we were made. Created by some unknown man in the sky. To be in his image. This is not only arrogant but it shows a fear of being able to accept your own individuality. Are you so scared of being a natural product just like a peach or apple? Are you so scared of having to think and act for yourself that you need an anchor? This is behavior I find insulting and arrogant. Who thinks they are so much more important that they get a place to go after death. Who is so arrogant that they think someone is actually watching over them? Who is so arrogant to think they are actually that important?

Humans I agree are interesting creatures. But they are far from beautiful as stated earlier. I could go on but all in all humans are just able to use tools to an advanced skill level because of this they label themselves "intelligent". That is the only difference between humans and other lifeforms. The ability to make use of tools to a better degree.
