Yes. However, in my beliefs, humans are different "animals" because we have the ability to realize God.

What is the Divine? As Buddhism doesn't have a god creator.

Sure it does. Who was it who convinced the Buddha to go out and teach the Dharma once he had attained enlightenment?

But belief in the creator god or any god is irrelevant to attaining nibbana.

Sweetheart, if you see anything awesome about "me", I can only give credit to all the awesome people I surround myself with, and all the awesome people who have passed down whatever virtue, wisdom, and compassion that I have been fortunate enough to remember and exemplify. So, if you find anything enjoyable about my presence, it is only because I have been touched by the magic and beauty that is in you.




Peace,
Mystic
