Why would a loving, good god create cuckoos?

Animal lives don't matter. Humans are the ones made in God's image.

>>17817201
>Animal lives don't matter
So it excuses God designing them in cruel ways? Do you think it's okay for humans to be cruel to animals?

>>17817210
for life to be not boring

>>17817210
Human intentionally hurting animals for the sake of sadism is wrong because it reflects poorly on the human. Human killing animal for food is not wrong no matter how hard you cry vegan.
Animals killing animals is irrelevant.

>>17817223
Derangement.

>>17817223
>Animals killing animals is irrelevant.
It's not irrelevant. And it's God's fault for designing them that way, not their fault. This is only a problem if you parrot that God is love personified, which you do

>>17817249
Traditionally Christians believed that all animals were vegetarian in the Garden of Eden and would be again in the New Jerusalem (this is in the Bible). However most "Christians" on 4chan are antisocial sociopaths

>Traditionally Christians believed that all animals were vegetarian in the Garden of Eden and would be again in the New Jerusalem

Why would God punish them for mankind's original sin, if he is good? Your version doesn't stand up to scrutiny either.

>>17817235
No argument

>it's not irrelevant
Says who? Why do animals matter?

>Says who? Why do animals matter?

Uh.... worldbuilding?

>>17817356
Still not an argument. Human lives actually matter. Animals were made to benefit man. They are all literally sub-human.

Animals are fully capable of evil and demons regularly possess animals.

>32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Animals have also been the recipients of miraculous healings.
>ST Roch, Patron Saint of Dogs is responsible for healing an entire litter of puppies and curing multiple stray dogs of blindness.

There's absolutely no reason to see the food chain as divine justice for animals, even if we can't know specifics from scripture.

>>17818099
>Animals are fully capable of evil
Animals cannot even grasp the concept of evil and good and thus cannot commit either tasks.
>demons regularly possess animals.
Yes and?

>>17818106
>Animals cannot even grasp the concept of evil and good and thus cannot commit either tasks
and you know this how? If science has proven that animals are capable of memory, love, happiness and guilt.... why can't they feel sadism or wrath or lust?

>>17818112
Animals have instincts not emotions dullard. Science proves that.

>>17817258
Because animals are part of our fallen world. They share in humankind's sin by themselves choosing to defy God and sin, see: dolphins

>>17818119
they have emotions. Science proves that.

>>17818119
>Animals have instincts not emotions
you're retarded.
tell that to my dog when I just get home from work.

>>17818128
>They share in humankind's sin by themselves choosing to defy God and sin, see: dolphins
nvm you're retarded

>still can't explain why animal lives matter
Lol

>>17818087
Humans literally are animals.

Christians will call atheists edgy then make posts like the ones in this thread. As always its projection.

>>17819605
To be fair, chuds on 4chan are not a good representative. Everyone here is severely mentally ill and antisocial.

>>17819580
Humans are literally superior to animals in every conceivable way possible.

>>17817191 (OP)
You know, even with people knowing that, the cuckoo is still one of the most well loved birds because of its melodious voice that announces the coming of spring?

>>17820835
We may be really cool animals but we are still animals by any definition of animal. What makes us biologically distinct from animal anon?

>>17820835
Animal means literally anything with an animus.
A sentient robot is an animal technically (just not biological)

>>17821079
So youbare saying mere beasts of the land are equal to man? Lmao okay. Which animal has created civilization? Which animal has been able to independently leave our planet? Who is the lizard Plato? Where is the eagle Ceasar? When did a fish make a great work of music like Chopin? A horse cannot look at a sunset and feel contentment. Their brains are literally too small to be able to comprehend such emotion. And yet you think they can be equal to humans? What a fucking retard.

>>17821743
>um actually
Brave and stunning

There you go

Mm, I don't think this is true.

You are genuinely retarded. Humans are animals.

>'A horse cannot look at a sunset with contentment'

>>17817249
everything in nature is balanced.

when there's too many seabirds on the skellig islands, they will surprise bite a neighbor's neck and drag him into the water to drown.

there were too many birds and nature balanced it. it can seem cruel but it's not evil.

>>17821079
by the definitions created and understood only by us? maybe those definitions aren't considering the entire picture or possibility, but instead use it as a bludgeon against belief systems they don't agree wiith

>>17821997
If a conscious being designed it this way then yes it is evil
>God can't be evil because... UH BECAUSE HE SAYS SO. HE JUST ISN'T, OKAY??

>>17821976
Still superior to every other animal. This you cannot refute

>>17822026
So far.

>>17817191 (OP)
Killing: the taking of a life.

Murder: the deliberate killing of a person God did not authorize you to kill.

Your are officially retarded and less than a nigger.

>>17822119
God isn't real

>>17817223
>Human intentionally hurting animals for the sake of sadism is wrong because it reflects poorly on the human
Reflects poorly? lmao, cope harder. Animals are just meat puppets, literally subhuman. Whatever you do to them is just interacting with props. It's not some 'bad reflection', it's a virtue. The ultimate virtue is probing the raw limits of existence, the structure of reality itself, through focused, visceral experimentation with suffering. THAT's the real knowledge quest, the true test of will. Way beyond your weak-ass 'reflection' concerns.

>>17822337
You prove my point. You think torture is good. That just shows how low of a human you are. Still above animals, but the lesser than the average human

>>17822056
Lmao nice cope

>>17822342
I don't "think" torture is good, I just showed you how it is. Your taboo thinking is the result is modern cuckoldry.

>>17822345
You didn't prove anything how torture is good. You made a claim with 0 evidence to support it. You are no different than the Japanese scientists "testing" people until they died. Which a majority of the civilized world all condemned as wrong.

>>17822354
The acquisition of knowledge isn't good?

>>17822342
How is it torture if they aren't even aware of it. Or do animals have awareness now?

>>17822366
Do animals have pain receptors yes or no? If yes they can understand what pain is and for them pain is bad. That is basic instinct you retard.
>>17822358
Depends entirely on the intent and how it is acquired. The general consensus of the world is that if you are intentionally causing harm that is bad. That is why you see people protesting about using certain chemical shampoos on test animals since it causes them harm.

>>17822366
Animals do have awareness. Your central nervous system is the same as theirs. You're just an animal as well.

No idea. That's the complete answer.
