animal paper

Before this course began we looked at ourselves as humans, nothing more. We spoke about how we might be different and and similar to what we had called animals. We, as human are considered the thinking animals. Notice how I said animals, we share many things as those wild animals. I guess the one biggest difference is how we humans are stuck in a box while the real animals are out enjoying most things we dont get to. Just think about it, we do everything in boxes, we sleep in one, work in one, go to school in one, we watch ourselves in one.

I believe that once we truely know what an animal is then you can then decide whether to classify yourself as either the animal or the human or the human animal. In class Andy spoke about the "special rescue" and that if you understand that you are an animal, there will be no special rescue, I personally believe this is bullshit because I myself was raised to be religious and I believe we are going to be "rescued" once way or another, well most of us. I think that when we over analyze things and dont live life how it should be is where we find that blindspot in life. God created man to worship his word. I also believe that God created man so that man could question him and his almightyness, and thats what I see in most of our classes, I think everything we been studying is basically what God actually wants, for those to question him and be absolutely wrong about things when the way he wants us to think, when devoted to him is realyl different.

I find it weird because before this class started everyone considered themselves really different from animals, but as soon as the teacher begins to brain-wash them they begin to think and believe the way the teacher does, at first I was being brain washed myself but I quickly realized I couldnt let that happen. On friday we spoke about the extinct animals and how we too will go extinct, but I personally believe that we WILL go extinct but we WILL come back as the human race, not us specifically, but a new generation.

If you use your conscienceness to think about life not being conscience then your being conscience about not being conscience. The world was made the way it was for a reason, God has everything planned out, WE ARE NOT ANIMALS. Yea, maybe we can relate to them in some ways but we are far from them, in Genesis 1:26 God said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness". Theres many different ways to analyze this, at first I simply analyzed this by simply NOT analyzing it and just taking it for what it said. Andy brought up a good point in emphasizing "IN OUR IMAGE" which I find weird, who does God refer to here? Him and his son? Who knows, but the one thing I would hope its not for is that its being refered to an animal.
