I'm reminded of something I read a while ago concerning sexual immorality and other "things done for the feeling." It was said that one thing that separates humans from animals is humans' ability to act on things other than feeling. Animals survive by instinct. They do things because they know no other way. Similarly, as a recent example, in learning how to train our cats, Wendy and I learned that cats don't respond to punishment like some other animals do. They respond to good and bad experiences. If they climb on the counter and find something good, they'll do it again. But if their experience is somehow made unpleasant, they'll stay away. So in other words, they act based on feeling. Which brings me to my point: as humans, if we just do whatever feels good, there's nothing that separates us from animals. #religion
