We are all animals. Humans think they aren't, and that's because humans do represent a unique but incomplete evolution into another class of animal. Consider warm blooded animals to think in pain-pleasure emotional context that's either one or two bit formulas. Humans have made an incomplete transition to three and four bit emotional context. It's the adaptation that allows for a greater focus on temporal context, but I don't consider it a complete break.

Some people have a fairly complete break from their animal nature and that's why they need a God to rationalize their selfish decisions. They simply don't have a solid "do unto others" way to feel their way through social relationships.

Don't bother to try to drag me into relationships and commitments that I've never made. It would never reach a conclusion even if I tried to explain it. Just accept that we are NOT made in God's image. We are wired like any fancy AI computer but better. You just don't respect the subtle types of data that we process without even thinking about it. We don't contemplate our every decision as if it were an existential choice. We simply try to avoid the pain and maximize the pleasure, and most people get a bit offended if you tell them that they are a monkey and not God.
