I was always a fan of the British Government recruiting Moreau for their own nefarious purposes during the events of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. II. Moore was definitely having fun pitting Wells' creations against each other. Interestingly, P-Dicky appears briefly, and is frightened meeting Mina Murray, as her eyes remind him of the hybrids. The best bit of course, is that the British Government relocates Moreau to the Hundred Acre Wood, and many of his New Hybrids are implied to be the origins of more modern "funny animal" characters, such as Rupert the Bear, Mister Toad, Tiger Tim, etc.

Religion isn't a mechanism to discourage bad behavior (principally) - though people can and do do that. "For the holy there are no laws" - Sefer Ha-Aggadah. Also look at what Timothy 1:9 has to say. Rather, Religion accounts for the "why" part of the proposition given that God is the very nature of Being itself with Religion being that part which seeks to repair that which has been broken (imp of the perverse? - Sorry, I Poe is my guy...) Plato's Ring of Gyges comes to mind here as well - a man when turned on his head (the passions/tendencies etc) must be set to rights (the intellect/metaphysical considerations). Now, if the atheist or the bulk of the population does not wish to rape and murder, this still has more to do with inclination, social norms, expectation, atavistic tendencies, the self as final authority and what not but does not in any way satisfy the question as to why it is wrong to do so in principle. (Think along the lines of transcendental realities like Beauty, truth, goodness, unity, etc.) One has to account for things rather than appeal to how agreeable a proposition may or may not be. Anyhow, this is the briefest of comments on the weightiest of issues and it certainly one worth taking very seriously.
