The animals do what they have always done and nothing more.
Mankind is different, always striving to attain some higher state than His present one.
Has mankind been duped into believing He can attain a higher state of being without Christ as His redeemer?
Why? Why? Why?

I do not understand your interpretation of 'save your soul'.
What is it that you are saving yourself from?

And further to that, I would like to know the definition of "Soul".
Is it different from mind/consciousness?
Humans are sure mentally messed up creatures, but then haven't they always been that way?
Are we inherently evil?
Or, have we simply put our survival instincts on OverKill?

All may do as they wish, and all paths are equally unconditionally loved.

I'm not saying I agree with 'molestation' I'm saying that it does not matter what it is that you do. Your always loved unconditionally, infinitley.

Which is not the case, considering there is nobody that you can hurt but yourself.
