The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
“This sweet, blessed, God-inspired place called America is a champion that has absorbed some blows. But while we bend, we don't break. This is no dark hour; this is the dawn before we remember who we are.”
“I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.”
