Science has recently discovered that the number of human cells in our bodies is outnumbered by bacteria cells.

Remember in the movie The Matrix, when Agent Smith is telling Morpheus that the human race doesn't act like mammals at all, but instead acts more like a virus? How we spread unchecked across the globe, devouring and destroying all the natural resources we come into contact with? In essence, that we are basically parasites living off the Earth?
Here's my question: since we are (technically and scientifically speaking) more bacteria than mammal, is it possible that we end up THINKING and ACTING more like bacteria than mammals?
Now I know that the science-fearing Christian evangelicals that seem to have infested Yahoo Answers are going to yell and scream at me and tell me that I'm going to Hell, but let's put that aside and actually put some thought into our answers, shall we?
