Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

Never am i going to believe that a damn fish is a person. And to all you liars out there who claims that they aren't fish, why do they look like fish then? I mean, they live in the sea, swims and has fins, what more obvious proof do you need? And if they aren't fish, then why did God give them fins and put them in the sea?

This thread reminds me of a wonderful thread by the World Renowned, TRUE CHRISTIAN Scientist, Ezekiel Bathfire. It is about how dolphins disprove Satanic evilution.

Hey, people, dolphins are not humans. They belong in the ocean.

This guy is trying to steal a dolphin baby, is he going to bring it home to his wife try to raise it as their own?

So dolphins may be stupid compared to us, but would you really kill a 3 year old child?[...]

An interesting theological question, deeper, I suspect, than you thought.

As it happens Abraham was ready to sacrifice his son, Isaac, to The Lord Genesis 22:1-24 and Jephthah actually did make a human sacrifice to God, which God approved Judges 11:31 et sequa.

God also says we should eat our children if times get hard, DEU 28:53. A 3 year old would be quite tender I should imagine.

I thus think that your answer is, "Yes, if instructed by God or if it were part of a promise to God or times were hard."

Thank you for bringing this up.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

When they say "non-human persons" they mean dolphins should have the rights that any person should have, even though they are non-human, it is true that dolphins are extraordinarily intelligent compared to most other fish, mammals, and any other animal you care to name. (Seconded only by humans) For instance, dolphins brain to body ratio, is ALSO seconded only by humans, dolphins have been known to communicate to each other when in experiments. (Very simple communication, like making different sounds for left and right, or in the wild they beat the living crap out of other animals for fun).
So dolphins may be stupid compared to us, but would you really kill a 3 year old child?
Of course, that's all assuming dolphins have souls, personally I think they are aware they exist, others don't, take your pick.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

animals are animals, humans are humans.

I'll shure be following the rule to treat dolphins as "non-humans" because they are animals. duh.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

Evolution is bullshit,

Sir or Madam (whichever the case may be) this is a rather judgmental statement.

I'll agree with you there, but your original post is still wrong. You have no right to argue against me when you're WRONG

To save time here I recommend that you not argue with Rev. Jim, he means well. He is a recovering LSD addict, and occasionally his brain chemistry will spontaneously alter itself.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

I don't need to be lectured on what a mammal is or isn't. Most of science is bunk anyways. Look at that evolution THEORY they keep spouting out, or the theory of a heliocentric solar system. I think you need to open up your eyes instead of believing what your scientist-gods you worship say with blind faith.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

Your post is downright ignorant, and you call yourself a pastor? Mammals are any creatures that have wombs, feed their young with milk, and breathe air. As dolphins meet all of these conditions, they can be considered aquatic mammals.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

Don't get smart with me boy. Dolphins are fish. They live in the ocean and have gills (in their case a blowhole on top of their head). I think I'm smart enough to know what a fish is.

Your post is condescending and rude. I think you owe me an apology.

Re: Scientists: dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

Dolphins are mammals not fish xD
