cat: stares intently at the growling human while slowly pushing the mug off the table
- After years of training to know what the word ‘No’ command means.
  
  Years of training the human by playing stupid you mean.
  
  It doesn't take years of training, they just don't care.
- Cat: I'm bored. Let's see if I can get the hairless ape 20x my size off the couch. Ooh! I bet they can't get over here before this hits the ground.

- This isn't right or wrong; it's a guaranteed reaction.

Yeah it's bullshit. Pro-social animals like dogs, primates, elephants understand group norms and social expectations e.g. appeasement behaviour. Its probably how our own "morality" developed as a species.
And there's evidence to suggest some species like dolphins absolutely do exhibit moral type behaviour like fairness and cooperation.
- Your examples, and honestly calling it bullshit, operate under your human understanding of right and wrong.

If the first statement were true then Adam and Eve did not sin because they literally did not know right from wrong until eating the literal fruit of the knowledge of food and evil.
- They literally didn’t exist. It’s a story made up by people to scare children.
  
  It's a weird story though because the moral seems to be that even adults don't do what they're told. And sometimes your sister is hot.
- They were literally told what they were allowed and not allowed to do before they ate that fruit.
  
  Yes, but they didn't understand that not following God's orders was bad. They weren't capable of making moral decisions because they hadn't eaten the fruit yet.
  
  They literally did not know what they were doing was evil because they literally did not know right from wrong.

Me, a homo sapiens, belonging to the animal kingdom
- This homo bragging about being a kween. Work, bitch! 💅

Cats do nothing but sin because they have no soul.
- here's an insult I think belongs here:
  "unlike AI music, this song has a soul. And that soul deserves to go to hell."
  I don't think cars should go to hell though
  
  Cars?

A human christian women let their newborn baby to die in the forest while her and her family fucked off to an impromptu trip. The baby was only found thanks to the dog barking and trying to bring attention to it.

By this logic psychopaths do not sin.
- Explains why so many of them own Megachurches

Right and wrong is one thing, sin is another. Sin is doing stuff that God says not to do, morality doesn't really come into it. Cats can't sin because they don't have theistic religion.
- Cats are their own gods. Letting them see the bottom of their food bowl is a mortal sin and you will burn in kitty hell for it.
- Defying an authority figure is not a sin. What if it tells you to do something bad, like slit your sons throat and burn the body? Defining sin as questioning authority is BS.
  
  That is precisely what differentiates sin from evil. It's why we have two words for those two things. Abraham would not have sinned by killing Isaac as ordered. But it would have been an evil act, and stupid and insane

- Yeah, bullshit.
- Homo Sapiens, subfamiliy homininae, suborder Haplorhini, is a animal too.
  Btw, chimpanzee wage war and crows bully in groups.
- Cats are definitely evil. Adorably so, sure, yet evil nonetheless.
  Dolphins, too. Cruel, rapey bastards, the lot of them. Orcas in particular probably enjoy killing and hurting their prey almost as much as cats.
  Most birds are evil in a stupid birdbrained sort of way, even the smart ones. Should've gone extinct sixty-five million years ago with the rest of the dinosaurs, the bastards.
  Chimpanzees are almost as creepily evil as humans (not bonobos, though; they just want to get along and fuck as much as possible).
  And then there's us.
- Evil is a human definition. I'm sure there have been tigers/bears/sharks/hippies that have gone on killing sprees that have been defined by humans as evil, though they were working well within their own natural framework of aggression.
  *I meant hippoes, not hippies, but the statement stands.
