34487 Y106 Yet the rest of the animist cast - àll~

Q&@
~ ALL THE ANIMALS,
PLANTS AND OTHER PHENOMENA ~
WERE TRANSFORMED INTO
SILENT DECOR!?

True, some animals
were considered sacred to this or that God,
and many gods had animal features: the AeGYPTian God ANUBIS sported the head of a jackal, and éven
Yehosjoea haMashiach (aka Jesus Christ) were frequently depicted as a lamb! Yet ancient AeGYPTians could very
easily tell the difference between Anubis & an ordinary jackal sneaking into to village to Hunt CHICKENS, and no
Christian butcher ever mistook the lamb under his knife
for "YESJOEA"/Jesus.

We normally think that theist ré-ligions
sanctified the great gods?! We tend to forget that the sanctified humans,
too!? Hithertoo Homo sapiens had béén jùst an actor in a cast of thousands... In the new theist drama
Sapiens became the central hero around whom the entire universe revolved... The gods, meanwhile, were
given two related roles to play! Firstly, théy explained whàt ìs só spècial about Sapiens
& why humans should dominate & exploit
all other organisms.

Christianity for example,
maintained that humans hold sway over the rest of the creation because the
Creator charged thèm wìth authority! Moreover, according to Christianity, God gáve an eternal soul
only to humans. Since the fate of this eternal soul is thé pòint of the whóle Christian cosmos,
ànd since animals have no soul, they áre mére èxtras?!

Humans thus became thé ápèx of creation,
while all other organisms
were pushed to
the sidelines.
