Is it wrong for me to think that people who think they came from apes should be treated like ones?

I'm having a problem understanding why someone who thinks his ancestor was an ape shouldn't be treated like one, I mean, as much as I wouldn't treat a dog like a man, I wouldn't treat an ape like a man...is it wrong?

    Suit yourself, but be aware that if you transgress the law you'll be held accountable regardless of whatever religion you attempt to say you adhere to.

    I think you're a troll but just in case you aren't - our ancestors were not...I repeat NOT...apes. Humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, bonobos etc are all primates whose ancestor was something that looked like a lemur.

    Now, how you treat other people is up to you but you don't sound like a very nice person to me and I would probably want to avoid you.

    You can think what you like of course. No law against thought.

    Thanks for the warning.

    There are many like you who use pseudo logic for what really amounts to the desire to punish.

    Someone or a group dare to think differently from you so of course they need to pay.

    there is NO logical connection between a believing we came from apes and your decision to "treat those people like apes". That's just a decision on the part of you and your ilk.

    There's nothing wrong with that paradigm. The only thing that needs to be done is to segregate it. Unfortunately when an incorrect paradigm is instituted, it prevents all other paradigms from being explored, which is the situation that we have today, a planetary wide dominance of the ape-paradigm.

    Yes it is when humans have such terrible history of animal welfare. Humans are apes, indeed one of the great apes. Still, if you have difficulty with reality, it is not for me to interfere.

    If you speak English, a Germanic language, should I speak to you in German, a completely different Germanic language?

    You think yours came from the original evil couple who disobeyed your god. Should we treat you like a criminal?
