The Scott-Moynihan Principle
« on: July 05, 2020, 01:53:22 PM »
That's what I've just named the principle enshrined in the two quotations in my signature. Some posters on here could do with bearing it in mind.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I also have one of those - it's the Glass-Stone Principle.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. - God is Love.

If that comment is aimed at me, I'd be grateful to know when I have ignored proven facts, or made up my own.
