What is a rational soul and why don't animals have them?

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf -1 points 1 month ago

a soul that can choose between Good and evil, nonhumans werent created in the image of God, so they dont have it

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What God says is evil in the Bible is not in actuality evil, especially considering that the God of the Bible is evil.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

You can't divide morality in only good and evil. That's dumb.

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 month ago

sorry, I oversimplified it

So is evil defined by intention? Gay penguins aren't evil because they aren't choosing to be gay?

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Evil is defined by God (in Bible).

So... being gay is evil, being disobedient to parents is evil, being Hindi is evil, and so on.

It's pretty detached from "evil" as it is known today (or then for that matter).

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf -2 points 1 month ago

they simply do not have a rational soul.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not so sure humans do either given the state of the world
