I'm superior because I said so

Why don't you stick out your tongue and say nana nana booboo while your at it to add some more sophistication and ellegance to your arguement? It sort of has that tone already. Once again it still sounds like you are saying "I'm superior because I said so". All your examples that are flattering to humans can be equalled while speaking of millions of other plant and animals species. Sure we have many amazing and wonderful aspects that set us apart, but we are without doubt not alone in this. The grace of a swan, the strength of a bear, the loyalty of a dog, yadayada. Saying you are equal isn't painful, honest. It is very freeing to know you are an equal part of the universe, no more or less important than any other in the greater scheme of things. Perhaps it is you who would be killed by accepting this, not vice versa. I feel no need to be superior.
From what i've been taught, Jesus was a very humble person with out a superiority complex. Perhaps he learned this way of thinking from God.
