What is a rational soul and why don't animals have them?
a soul that can choose between Good and evil, nonhumans werent created in the image of God, so they dont have it
What God says is evil in the Bible is not in actuality evil, especially considering that the God of the Bible is evil.
You can't divide morality in only good and evil. That's dumb.
sorry, I oversimplified it
So is evil defined by intention? Gay penguins aren't evil because they aren't choosing to be gay?
Evil is defined by God (in Bible).
So... being gay is evil, being disobedient to parents is evil, being Hindi is evil, and so on.
It's pretty detached from "evil" as it is known today (or then for that matter).
they simply do not have a rational soul.
I'm not so sure humans do either given the state of the world
