Every believer in my real world believes that we're _essentially_ diff from other animals.
-
(1) We are essentially different. (2) but “other animals” still makes sense.
-
It’s not different than saying “other living beings” or “other physical being."
-
We do belong to the wider class “animal”, although “animal” can also be used to mean “not us.”
-
One definition of “animal” is “All animals except humans.” There’s a different sense in the definition part.

Wish for privacy for certain biological functions. Dualism. Great chain of being. Bestial being negative etc.

Ppl don't literally deny mammalian properties. They can't. They present animal status, carnality, biology as bad
-
So when you say “humans instinctively deny they are mammals” you really mean something entirely different?
-
I have explained what I mean several times now. Disdaining our animal status, carnality, biology.

But that is how we say it, isn't it? Often? Stop behaving like an animal? Sex beast?

Whig history on stilts. Why not go sit down and read the documents that you think you know?

He was very rude & hostile a few days ago. Came out of nowhere, told me adults were talking, wrote Latin to intimidate me.

Called me names & objected to me studying Christianity without believing it in. Search our tags & see. Tried to calm him. No.
