Lol! To think there are people out there that think we are "sacred beings" and "the highest creation of god"...

We're just smart(occasionally) meatbags! Get over it.

Vanity...

"other". We humans are a complex vehicle specially made to work as an interface between our souls and the rest of humanity, in this lifetime.

Without the Soul, there is just dead meat.

"Humans" I see as being defined differently. Looking at the physical side I do not believe we were "created", but evolved. The soul is what I believe is a part of the Divine, which every living thing has a portion of. I do not think we are any more or less special than just about anything else out there. We just ARE.

So you would claim that without some sort of soul, the human body would not function as it does now?

Any particular reason you can't be both?

"Keep two truths in your pocket and take them out according to the need of the moment. Let one be 'For my sake the world was created.' And the other: 'I am dust and ashes.'"

I put sacred for the sake of ourselves, although it's not really what my answer would be, but it fit best. I do think that human life is sacred and peace is a worthy goal, whether or not there is a G-d (I favor the theistic side, myself, though I'd still hold that opinion even if I didn't). But, we are still smart meat, blood, and bones floating on a rather lovely damp rock through space. Which is, I think, actually a neat thing to be.
