You make it sound as if war has something to do with humping monkeys. Besides, if the monkey consents, what's the problem? It's not exactly a direction of evolution I consider favorable, but I am not the judge of that. I'm free to have my opinion, and to exert my influence as far as it goes. But in a thousand years, will the world be filled by monkey humpers or bible thumpers? Time will tell.
But if indeed I am in God's image (I might even agree with that, depending on what you mean by 'God'), that means that every wicked craving I experience is also a wicked craving God experiences. The Krishna followers say that their god is perfect. He is the supreme of all things, from the noblest benefactor to the most ruthless destroyer. Christianity seeks to divide the good from the bad by introducing the devil and sin. The way I see it, if it can occur to a man to rape a woman, it can occur to God. If the man can do it, so can God.
