(A replay of a class-room discussion, from a while back):
"God is to Man, as Man is to Ant"
"Did you make the ants? Did you EVER make an ant? Why should
they be special to you? God MADE us! I don't know how or why, and
that doesn't matter, but it happened! But WE never made any
Ants! We made the picnic, and the ants showed up, falling in the
koolaid and walking in the potato salad! Do ants pray? Do they
go to church? Did they ever set up a cross, and get down on their
6 little knees and PRAY, to you, or anyone, or anything? How
often have you seen that happen? NEVER! Because they're BUGS!
They're not special, not like us, not to God, not to anybody"
It was at about this point, that the English Literature
instructor firmly escorted Brent to the Principal's office. He
was never in that class again.
Heil!
( Let me put it scientifically,
my attentive 'Droid, { [God:Man] != [Man:Ant] };
so you will understand it: )
