if you really think about it the majority of humans are stupid, were killing of our only habitual planet and not doing anything like enough to stop the destruction, because we all like shiny round things we can trade for stuff we don't really need or want but we listen to other humans telling us we need all this stuff and we corrupt our little ones with the same message so they to grow up to value the round shiny object they can trade to get stuff they don't need. and just like the kids in the playground we segregate other humans if they don't have enough shiny round things that can also be made out of paper from the trees we cut down even though we need them to live and not be slowly poisoned by our own farts. yes the human race is truly something.

I don't believe in God but let me see...
God created the heavens and the Earth and finally he created man. Seeing his mistake, he created woman, now women are paying for his mistake. |

Humans are the worst kind of species. The only species that continues to destroy the one thing that gave them life and also continue to destroy each other for silly reasons. Shameful species we are.

[Anton Chekhov] "Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs." [Aldous Huxley] "We are perverse creatures and never satisfied."[Nan Fairbrother] "Modern man is the missing link between apes and human beings."

[Mariane Moore, "A Grave," Collected Poems, 1951] "If man were relieved of all superstition, and all prejudice, and had replaced these with a keen sensitivity to his real environment, and moreover had achieved a level of communication so simplified that one syllable could express his every thought, then he would have achieved the level of intelligence already achieved by his dog." [Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com] 
"Every man is in his own person the whole human race, with not a detail lacking. I am the whole human race without a detail lacking; I have studied the human race with diligence and strong interest all these years in my own person; in myself I find in big or little proportion every quality and every defect that is observable in the mass of the race. I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born; I knew I should not find a single original thought in any philosophy, and I knew I could not furnish one to the world myself, if I had five centuries to invent it in. Nietzsche published his book, and was at once pronounced crazy by the world-by a world which included tens of thousands of bright, sane men who believed exactly as Nietzsche believed but concealed the fact and scoffed at Nietzsche. What a coward every man is! and how surely he will find it out if he will just let other people alone and sit down and examine himself. The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner." [Mark Twain] "Adam ate the apple, and our teeth still ache."

[Gustave Flaubert] "Nothing feebler does earth nurture than man, Of all things breathing and moving." [Homer, Odyssey] "Everyone is as God made him, and often a good deal worse."

Lawrence] "Occident: The part of the world lying west (or east) of the Orient. It is largely inhabited by Christians, a powerful sub-tribe of the Hypocrites, whose principal industries are murder and cheating, which they are pleased to call "war" and "commerce." These, also, are the principal industries of the Orient." [Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary] "Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be." [William Hazlitt, The English Comic Writers, 1819] "It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought! Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves." [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Kavanagh, 1849] "Nature is neutral. Man has wrested from nature the power to make the world a desert or to make the deserts bloom. There is no evil in the atom; only in men's souls." [Adlai Stevenson]

[Bernard Stonehouse] 
"Suppose some mathematical creature from the moon were to reckon up the human body; he would at once see that the essential thing about it was that it was duplicate. A man is two men, he on the right exactly resembling him on the left. Having noted that there was an arm on the right and one on the left, a leg on the right and one on the left, he might go further and still find on each side the same number of fingers, the same number of toes, twin eyes, twin ears, twin nostrils, and even twin lobes of the brain. At last he would take it as a law; and then, where he found a heart on one side, would deduce that there was another heart on the other. And just then, where he most felt he was right, he would be wrong." [G.K. Chesterton, "The Paradoxes of Christianity," Orthodoxy] "Every man is a volume, if you know how to read him."

[Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "God's Gifts to Man" (1940s)] 
"Man's highest merit always is, as much as possible, to rule external circumstances and as little as possible to let himself be ruled by them." [Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] "So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can't even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and 'vroom'! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky." [Russell Baker, New York Times, 1969 July 21st] "Every human being is a 'problem' in search of a solution."

[Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com] "We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts." [Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams] 
"Man may be excused for feeling some pride at having risen, though not through his own exertions, to the very summit of the organic scale; and the fact of his having thus risen, instead of having been aboriginally placed there, may give him hopes for a still higher destiny in the distant future. But we are not here concerned with hopes or fears, only with the truth as far as our reason allows us to discover it. I have given the evidence to the best of my ability; and we must acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man, with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system ��with all these exalted powers. ��Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin." [Charles Darwin (1809–1882), final paragraph of The Descent of Man, 1871] 
"Grant fretted and irritated him.... He had no right to exist. He should have been extinct for ages.... That, two thousand years after Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, a man like Grant should be called ��and should actually and truly be the highest product of the most advanced evolution, made evolution ludicrous.... The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant, was alone evidence enough to upset Darwin. [Henry Adams (1838-��1918), The Education of Henry Adams, Chapter XVII! Adams wrote this third-person autobiography in 1905. It was first publicly published in 1918 from the 1907 private printing.]

[David Herbert Lawrence, White Peacock, 1911] "The question is this: Is man an ape or an angel? I am on the side of the angels." [Benjamin Disraeli] "I viewed my fellow man not as a 'fallen angel', but as a 'risen ape'." [Desmond Morris, The Naked Ape] "Evolution: that last step was a doozy!" [Terri Guillemets, 1988 September, Biology journal] "Man desired concord; but nature knows better what is good for his species; she desires discord. Man wants to live easy and content; but nature compels him to leave ease... and throw himself into roils and labors." [Immanuel Kant, Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose, 1787] "Perchance God will pity a race that sought the better angels of its nature and found only its lesser demons." [Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com] "The thief and the murderer follow nature just as much as the philanthropist." [T.H. Huxley, "Evolution and Ethics," 1893] "Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man." [William Ralph Inge] "People are like birds: on the wing, all beautiful; up close, all beady little eyes." [Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966] "Evolution is individual;� devolution is collective." [Martin H. Fischer] 
"A strong, brave man is born each month, each year God gives a sage to men, A poet each ten years, perhaps, but an unselfish person,when?" [Frederic Ridgely Torrence, The House of a Hundred Lights: A Psalm of Experience After Reading a Couplet of Bidpai, 1899] "I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd. I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition.... Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. " [Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass] "As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities." [Voltaire] "I demand of you, and of the whole world, that you show me a generic character... by which to distinguish between Man and Ape. I myself most assuredly know of none." [Carl Linnaeus, 1788] "In creating the human brain, evolution has wildly overshot the mark." [Arthur Koestler] "We have a world for 'each one', but we do not have a world for 'all'." [Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin] "We are 'survival machines' — 'robot vehicles' blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes." [Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene] "I do not value any view of the universe into which man and the institutions of man enter very largely and absorb much of the attention. Man is but the place where I stand, and the prospect hence is infinite." [Henry David Thoreau, journal, 1852 April 2nd] "Nature does not deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves."

Who invented the insanity of things like baseless wars, false gods, unfair economic systems, corrupt politics, bombs to blow up the world, torture devices, slavery, racism, classism, sexism and more and more? Humans could have lived in peace and harmony if men had intended it to be that way. History and current affairs shows evidence that man's intentions are clearly not for the greater good. So before you say that humans are the greatest, check the facts, because some of us think men could do better...well we like to hope so, because it's not good enough as it is. And to call Man God's greatest invention is more lies, everyone knows that God is Man's invention, and what has it been great for? To kill for religion? Wow, how great...

I don't believe it's because they are men, I believe it's because most men follow the rule of a few men. Some men find a way to follow their own rule that doesn't involve destroying everything in their path.
