I'm just quoting this last bit because it's a long response! I thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I've never met anyone that thinks quite in the same way you do.
I would like to ask you a few questions to get a bit more clarity on your beliefs and ideals.
as you probably are aware, cetaceans are sentient beings. Do you think they fair better or worse than humanity? They have the same level of self-awareness, so I am curious of what you think of them in comparison.
another question is what do you think about mental disorders? I know they occur in almost all animals, so I am curious what your opinion is on them in comparison to self-awareness (if that makes sense)?
although I personally am not a fan of being negative, I tend to think rather negatively myself. You said you know a lot about most religions. I am wondering if you mean religion as a whole or specific religions?
I'm asking this because I am wondering what your opinion is on religions that tend to support scientific explanations on the reasons we think and feel and exist, but try to (attempt anyway) form a community in which we can openly speak with one another as human beings?
Your answer was very interesting to read for me. Thank you once again for responding!
