DOES MAN HAVE ANY DIVINE RIGHT OVER THE ANIMALS HE SO SELFISHLY SACRIFICES ?

DOES MAN HAVE ANY DIVINE RIGHT OVER THE ANIMALS HE SO SELFISHLY SACRIFICES ?

Who will save the dumb animals? Who is their God who will have mercy on them? Is God so man-centric? Then He is a partial God and no God at all.

We cannot claim to be civilised so long as we give in to barbaric medieval practices in the name of appeasing God when the very animals we sacrifice are embodiment of the very God we seek to appease. Torture of the lower species and their destruction cannot make us human, let alone divine in any way.

The Lord of man is also the Lord of animals, man being merely the eldest sibling in this order of animal creation. Such a Lord is a loving Lord and cannot desire the flesh of His own children. And if He does, He is no God then and all notions about His existence and divinity are best discarded. It is better to be free atheists who can foster love for all creatures than religious ignoramuses harbouring hate towards fellow humans or exercising divine lordship over the lower species in sacrificing them to appease God.

When will man be human after all? If God holds you from doing so, then give up your hold on such a God and become Man once and for all.
