    It doesn’t matter you are an atheist, the law is based on the bible you like it or not, and you’ve been raised with Western notions of morality which you internalize as normal. Morality being a human construct is a totally irrelevant sentence because whether it is or not it still has real world implications.

    If you dress a monkey in silk, it’s still a monkey; have you ever heard of a science called taxonomy? How humans interact with other species is not a factor at determining how they are divided.

      Sounds like a nonsense statement. What does “based on” mean? I suspect it’s a phrase you learned in early childhood and never examined thoroughly. Let’s do that.

      When you say “based on”, you’re saying “I perceive a similarity that my inferior heuristics indicate is causal”. However, as an authority on my own mind and history, I assert that this is not the case. You have no basis for dispute of this assertion, just as I would have none if I disputed claims about your own personal history or state of mind.

      I’ve literally taught my children since they could listen and talk that they themselves are monkeys. That humans are a species of monkeys that have less fur.

      How humans interact with other species is not a factor at determining how they are divided.

      Please, enlighten me.
