I feel humbled by such a witty retort. Think of that all by yourself did you? Good for you.

In response though... no. Law of the Jungle is the way humans interact with the rest of the Jungle, not with other humans. Append that to "sentient beings" as the basic delimiter between animal instinct and humans is the whole "I think, therefore I am" premise. In comparrison to the rest of the wild kingdom, we humans really are all within percentage points of each other. The Golden Rule and the Noninitiation of Force theorems have been gleaned from thousands of years of philosophy and form the basis of a much more equal and "just" (in the Platonic sense of the word) system of dealing with each other and dealing with animal like behavior within our own species.

That you would rather dress up your personal bias' in religious edicts is a paucity of cogent thought on a frightening scale. Thousands of years of religious bias' being used to justify the slaughter and rape of billions and you monkeys still think it is a great idea for governance.

No where in my philosophy does it give another the right to end someone else life just because they are defective. However, "Suffer not a witch to live" and "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" give you leeway to commit all manner of atrocity does it not?

Get a grip.

It is the atheist system of Communism which is responsible for the greatest amount of misery and terror in human history. You sound exactly like them the way you spew their propaganda and attack religion as the source of all evil rather than the basis of all civilization as traditional conservatives know it is.
