Yes, but we still maintain a mental thought. Corpses can no longer function. I see that religious people are very respectful to things that aren't even real. And people don't need sympathy, animals get along just fine without it, why can't we?
Yeah, and? We're all just chunks of carbon! At least, that's what you think.
You're bringing irrelevant arguments into this. Religion has nothing to do with this.
It's arguable that animals don't feel emotions as humans do, and it doesn't take a genius to know that animals don't think as deeply as humans do. That's why we're on the top of the food chain. Because we have complex feelings and thoughts that other animals don't have.
Stop being a heartless forget.
