      Turn to Christ, time is running out in these last days, repent and turn from all sin and unprofitable things, so you can be forgiven and seen righteous in his eyes, to the only one that matters. Everything on this earth will be destroyed, lost, rot and rust but with him you will be renewed, where death has no sting, fear is beaten, peace that surpasses all understanding, He gave his life for us, let us give ours in return, and live righteously for Christ, love others as ourselves, and believe he is the one true God, so we can be after his own heart, to be granted salvation, accepted by the King the greatest honor.

      ​@@ChristAlwaysnot sure what how that's related we all watching animals looking at mirrors and your here talking about your imaginary friend and the cult made for it. Sadly we don't care I do not wish to take part in a cult that commits child sacrifices like in Egypt asking for the first born son of all as a sacrifice is mass child sacrifice and you are trying to get ppl to worship this evil monster who is in support of mass child sacrifice and a being who demands blood and living sacrifices is evil that is the Christian god you worship a made up being who in the book made to make it sound the best and gwt followers is about a evil God who commits mass genocide mass child sacrifice sends angels of death to torment humans and makes a special place it gets to punch you if you don't do everyrhing perfect you even have to and can't do certain things gs and have no way of knowing since this God never told you but if you don't do anything you are sent to be tortured for enegery for all eternity.
      To put it bluntly and using real life not fantasy the Christian cult was created by the Roman's to co trol the masses , they took other stories like Jesus gnostic teaching publicly tortured him for teaching ppl to send a message then the perverted his teaching threw out books and changed it to control ppl all while using the torture device and public torture as a "religious symbol" or really its used to remind them what happens when you don't do what they want.
      It is equivalent to white ppl taking a black dudes teaching perverting it using it to manipulate ppl lynching him then making a religion like his but manipulated oh and using a noose with the lynched black man and their religious symbol.... that is beyond fucked up.
      If Jesus does exist he is prolly so upset that you wear around a torture device and are apart of this weird death cult that wants to drink Jesus blood and eat his flesh and they likely did this originally and that's why we must still symbolize cannibalizing gods son? Seriously how can you read that book and not see something is fucked up you do know the price paid in other mythos for killing a God right? Let alone God's favorite now imagine they killed and tortured this Jesus who is also God and ate him.... this is some sick demon worship bro I hate to break it to you but the one your worshipping is evil and is the Satan and devil they say to fear tho the book does say if will decive the masses and that means the masses of Christians so this devil said it will decive you by doing just that. It's weird your taught to question everyone but God lol in fact Adam and eve were not kicked out until they had knowledge so your God also is anti knowledge and why would omni God care? It would want you to have knowledge they only ones who don't want you to know things are the ones tricking you.
      So really either this is all made up cult bs, or it's real and you worship a evil child sacrificing mass human sacrifice false God.
      I mean a perfect being can't create imperfection.
      Also if your the omni only God you wouldn't need to say your the only God and not to worship others you would just say I am God period. Tho likely Christianity plagerized it all from sumerians over 2k years before its either a interesting fantasy story or a story about aliens and how they Got involved with us.
      Also any creator God is aliens they are not from earth and created it therefor they are alien so make sure you note that your worship a alien that tried to genocide humans and sent murder angels to do mass child sacrifices in the center of town and kill anyone who didn't hand over their first born son , really for your God to be all the omni as it claims would mean God is also Satan and also me and you, God is the child and the old man raping the child that is himself , that means when two ppl that are God because God is everyone and everyrhing that when someone hurts another it's God hurting itself? Why would this God hurt and kill and cause all this damage to itself? Sounds like this God is far from perfect and is a sick messed up demon that even enjoys self harm that or your God isn't the 3 omni as it's shown not to be and that makes your God a lier for stating it is, it's ironic who ever wrote the Bible clearly didn't understand the 3 omni lol and fair most humans can't seem to grasp what they would mean

    The cat discovering its ears is, at least to me, proof enough that cats, too, can recognise themselves. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached for its own ears while staring at its reflection. Same is true with the cat and the owner behind it showing the finger. I can also confirm very similar behaviour from my own cats.

      Cats are much smarter than dogs. The reason they are so difficult to train most of the time is because they do not care about a human anywhere near as much as a dog does. What I've seen from people who do have cats that care about them as much as a dog would is that cats are generally easier to train

For us millennials it would have been extremely uncommon to think of a camera just to see ourselves. A mirror was way easier to use (even though you can't see yourself with your eyes closed. Kids are dumb XD )

    The Lion''s confusion shows smarts. He knows a lot of his world through good hearing and smell and even touch with whiskers. He's smart enough to be quite weirded out by this hallucination-like ghost lion that has no scent or sound, but is clearly extremely close to him. I respect him for being utterly thrown.

    My old kitty understood mirrors. I'm not sure if she ever quite understood her _own_ reflection since she never showed any interest in it, but she'd watch me around corners through the mirror, and if she was facing the mirror and I reached out to pet her she'd react to it, preparing to get pet from behind. She also seemed to recognize that speaking to the mirror-me was the same as speaking to the real me, and would sit on the counter as I got ready in the mornings, talking enthusiastically to my reflection. So she definitely understood the concept to some degree. It was always funny looking over into the hallway and seeing her staring at me from the other room through the mirror 😂

      there may also be another explanation. The cat may simply be mistaking your hand in the mirror with something he is seeing. It is not that the cat knows that it is him, in the reflected image. But by simply seeing your hand reflected, he simply processes the image as if he were seeing it, with his eyes. In fact, the cat's eyes have a very apliatic view compared to the human one and therefore he could process the information thinking that he is seeing it with his eyes.

      Here, let me remind ye all again, HUMANS ARE NOT ANIMALS. HUMANS are SPIRITS, created in the IMAGE OF GOD. CREATED IN 3 PARTS: SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = LIVING SOUL. Animals are created different; in 2 parts: SOUL + BODY. Animals do not have everlasting part: THE SPIRIT. Humans are NOT ANIMALS and can survive ALONE 100%. After the FLOOD, only 8 souls, from millions of humans, survived. ONLY 8 SOULS lived through the FLOOD. Mankind started only with population of 2 souls. How can you all here ever understand and accept the truth if still filling your own heads with nonsense? How can LIES help to understand and accept TRUTH? - lies ant helpful, are these? A human soul and the whole population of humans need only one being in their lives:GOD. Romans 8:16chapter context similar meaning copy save The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: John 4:24chapter context similar meaning copy save God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. If you have GOD in your life, YOU THEN HAVE EVERYTHING. Luke 12:22chapter context similar meaning copy save And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25chapter context similar meaning copy save Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Matthew 6:31chapter context similar meaning copy save Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Matthew 10:19chapter context similar meaning copy save But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. Cant any of you read? GOD Himself clearly saying to MANKIND: take no thoughts nor worrie, for GOD shall provide all that ye need.
      Isaiah 11:2chapter context similar meaning copy save
      And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
      Mankind being called “animals” is because to keep us in delusions that life is random and not a big deal.
      Our lives on this earth is BIG DEAL, and if lived wrong, evil ways, then HELL FIRE shall be our everlasting “home” full of torment; regrets + burning in fire that
      does not go out.
      Our lives on this earth is TEST, we all are tested by GOD, daily, to let GOD see:
      - how quickly we turn angry,
      - how weak are we, in battles against different temptations,
      - How long can we love and care about others,
      - how many evil situations can we go through before we break,
      - are we hunger for truth,
      - are we satisfied with lies,
      - are we guarded or easily deceived.

After about a month I would find some extra trinkets there, so I sat in the distance and waited to see who was doing it. It was the other magpies, they had been watching me bring stuff to the spot and started doing it themselves when I would fail to coneby and do it.

      Bunny did not recognize herself in the mirror all on her own, but has learned that it's supposed to be her. But I have the impression she is sceptical about that fact.
      It's likely that the fact that the mirror image has no smell makes all the difference to dogs.

    I've had some twenty cats in my lifetime, and the majority of them understood what they were seeing in the mirror. Some have worshipped their own reflections while others didn't care at all, but I could tell that each still knew what/ who their reflection was.
    I even had a six week old feral kit that I had rescued who understood the concept of mirrors. He was very skittish and would only look directly at me/ in my face, but he had been exposed for the week prior to my huge tri-fold mirror that was in the quarantine room with him, so when guests came over, he would watch them through the mirror as if he thought he could safely see them but that they couldn't see him.
