Hmmm... well, not to get into the Satanism discussion, as a whole, but...
I would dispute that humans are the most vicious animals of all, though
we can be pretty nasty; we also show great potential for compassion and
caring. If this were not so, we wouldn't have families, friends, and so
on. To the (very little) extent that I understand the principles of the
ToS, I disagree with them.
I think I'd reserve the 'most vicious' category for sharks.
Cheers,
Mara
