We are the gods to everything else. We are the superior intelligence to all other forms of life, so we believe, and we are the ones who "intelligently design" our world, our zoos, and even ourselves. Yet look at how we treat all those species in our care, whom we see as less evolved, less intelligent, and less cultured than we are; even among our own species, let alone all the others.
We are the Nazi's to all of the other species on the planet, as one writer put it. Indeed, we are the monsters, and by believing ourselves to be the central Claymation in God's diorama, we cast ourselves in the role of the gods of all we survey. Like tiny little Napoleons, then, we think we are the most special species of all. And all because like Narcissus, we have fallen in love with the beauty of our own self importance.
Christians are quite mistaken to think that they are made in Gods image, therefore, for if they were, they could only expect that God would eventually throw them on the barbecue, much like we throw the chicken, the pig, the fish or the cow, instead of into a palatial mansion in heaven that has all the opulence of an Arab sheik. Indeed, it is perhaps the most extreme exercise in hubris for the Christian to think they are made in Gods image, even as they hope like hell that He is not made in theirs.
