...Christian Nazies.? If God is a superior being to me, and he demands i worship him, and i am a superior being to all animals of the wild, and God sends those whom do not conform to his will to hell to burn for eternity (or simply denies you from heaven, for those whom do not believe so conservatively) philosophically, i should be morally correct to either kill or lock in a room all animals whom do not obey me.

I assume some religious folk would argue that we were made intelligent enough to recognize God, and worship him. I would argue this by saying God is equally out of our comprehension as my ability to rationalize and think is out of my dog's. My dog is more then intelligent enough to realize to get off my bed when i say "get down". The relative levels of intelligence are the same.

I would like to hear some of religious persuasion counter this argument.

If is effectively the biggest word in language. If God sends people to Hell? Well, as a liberal Christian I do not think God sends people to Hell and I do not take the Bible literally on everything. The Bible is full of symbolism. Okay? What IF the Bible is filled with symbolism?

When you are able to teach your dog the concept of worshipping something, then you might have a point. Until then, he is not aware of such a concept, and so is unable to perform it.

You, however, are aware of the concept of worship, which then leaves you in the position of having to choose whether to do it or not.

What's controls the situations, matters, events, etc. that you can't control? There is too much order, purpose and things working out perfectly to honestly come to the conclusion that there is nothing other than chaos. Our creativity and intelligence is proof that we had to have been created by an intelligent being. Just because there are some things we (anybody who wanders why bad things happen to good people, etc.) can't find an answer to some questions we have in life, doesn't mean there's not a purpose, and YHVH doesn't exist.

relatively moral. just because they do not conform to your will doesn't mean that it is God's will for you to condemn them to anything.

Adam was given dominion over this world and everything in / or on it.

When he yielded to the Devil, he gave away this Ownership Right to him.

I have scripture to back this up, but I think you wanted a simple answer.
