I would say it is “inhuman.” Nothing civilized about it at all.

By calling the behavior subhuman you are implying that the person in some way is also subhuman.
I see that as articulating a perfectly logical observation about unnatural and uncivilized behaviors.

The behavior could be seen as incompatible with Christianity as it is in the Methodist Church (at least according to the Book of Discipline); or morally unacceptable, wicked, evil or perfectly normal.
Maybe this is why the Methodists, Anglicans, Catholics, and other churches are having so much trouble with this and other issues. The sectarian dogma of the church elders has supplanted the Biblical foundations and definition of what it is to be human. They follow dogma and the doctrine of men and are not lead by conviction of the Holy Spirit as the Christian Bible (new testament) instructs. The Judaic Bible (old testament, or as my rabbi friend says, first testament) is even more hard hitting on commandments about the issue. The New Testament is instructive. The First, or New Testament is outright commanding.

The Aztec sacrifices were tossed down from the tops of the pyramids...
The Aztecs were pagans and their primitive civilization fell because of their own pagan superstitions. They could have easily swept Cortez and his men off the face of the earth.

Plato’s Euthyphro is a great illustration. Socrates advances the argument to Euthyphro that, piety to the gods, who all want conflicting devotions and/or actions from humans, is impossible. Socrates exposed the pagan esoteric sophistry.
Morality and all of its associated concepts are from the belief some higher power defines what is correct in human behavior. Today, “morals” are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins where transfiguration is from pantheons of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.
Likewise, “morals” are such a construction of idols used as a rationale for some to demand compliance to their wishes in politics, which most often are a skewed mess of fallacies in logic. Morals are a deceptive replacement for the avoidance of sin.
Was Freudian psychoanalytic theory of sexual stages in psychological development more accurate than accredited? The Michael Jackson Complex is an obvious fixation on mutilation of and deviance with human anatomy in the media. It is indicative of a societal mental illness that caters to the lowest common denominator and generated with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning in popular culture.
Should we really be canonizing special societal privileges in the law based on a person's idolatrous fetishes? Perhaps punitive anti-homo speech code, civil union and homosexual monogamy advocates could conclave to enshrine their own phantasmal state religion and consecrate Michael Jackson as its first Ecumenical Pope!
There is a clear connection between modern neo-paganism and ancient paganism related to Islamic conflict with the Judaic roots of Christendom. A focus on how this is manifested in a modern sense only requires a look at pop-culture icons in entertainment, steroid sports “heroes,” and attempts by the Left to use a pseudo-Christian sense of pagan moralistic idolatry to demonize political opposition. This was evident with U.S. Senator Rick Santorum for his sacrilegious comments on sodomy and blasphemy of a pagan practice.
It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law; something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamist thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.
Contemplate the macabre pagan elements of Michael Jackson's video, Thriller, and his Nation of Islam entourage escorting their pharaoh to and from court among the throngs of frenzied fanatics. (Jackson now resides in Brunei.) This is a trend of our social psychological profile...
