What’s wrong with those people who worship animals?

Knowledge. Isn't the closest rank to God is knowledge?

In your mind. I would have actually preferred to be able to fly and to have as many arms as a spider. Imagine the canons and fugues you can play with eight arms.

Nature ranks all animals as equal (Sometimes animals eat humans). Bacteria (Superbugs), cockroaches, mice, ants, these are some animals where human authority does not work.

Yes, there is a link between wealth and worshiping but that is not the whole story. We show our respect to them as fellow denizens of this world. Hindus are known to worship snakes (at places mice too), crows, dogs, horses, and of course, cows and bulls. Feeding ants and bird is considered to be a good deed. Older people always put a part of their food to be given to animals before they start their meal (my grandpa used to do that). On festivals

Human worth much more then an animal. Why worship something that is much less worth then one is?

Apparently, there is people who worship animals. Yes, animals. who are way lower in rank then a human. They are not allowed to eat those animals nor kill them. And, if one were to eat that animal, the society would put them in jail, or even kill them. The society treats those animals like some kind of a deity. They even install shelters for them to live in. What’s wrong with those people who worship animals?

Humans have much more authority of animals. Why would they devalue themselves, and respect those animals like they are higher in-rank then a human? A human can engineer an animal, an animal on other hand can not engineer a human. In that case, an animal should worship the human not the other way around. Don’t you agree?

Owning an animal like a goat for example, represents wealth. Can there be a link between worshiping wealth and worshiping an animal?

Life is life. Some folks respect life where ever they find it. Some folks hold their own life as being more important than the life that surrounds them.

How can a human not fly? We can even go to space and populate other planets.

We can even make robotic hands.

Humans will cease to exist if it were not for animals (Bacteria). Half your body weight is composed of bacteria.

Human worth much more then an animal.

In your opinion. You put humans on a pedestal. Not everyone does. Thank gods for that.

Not an applicable question for people who aren't hierarchical thinkers or who don't put humans on a pedestal.

I mean being able to fly without going through security check because some people believe they might get 72 virgins in heaven if they blow out an airplane.

By the way, what is wrong with them? Don't you think that by this rate they will run out of virgins?

How is human not higher in rank then an animal? Human worth a lot greater. Humans can either kill animals or create them.

Does going off-topic seem reasonable to you?
Apparently not the doctrine of Islaam.

So, what is it then? What kind of authority do you think can stop humans from destroying a planet?

Obviously learned it from Walt Disney. Yes in the remake of the great movie The Jungle Book, they have Mogli bowing down and worshipping elephants, along with some bogus creation story about elephants creating everything. Almost threw the dam movie away.

At least you can see, hear, touch and smell an animal (and taste them if you are so inclined) so it makes a lot more sense than worshipping something that you can't see, etc.

Mother nature is not below us she is above us, Mother nature controls everything, Mother Nature makes tornados, when Mother nature gets fed up enough she will kill off this planet and well be destroyed by environmental desasters.

Mother nature is the reason we have climate warming, why our system is messed up, shes trying to tell us to clean up her earth.Mother nature is in control of all. When I meditate I become one with Nature, would I be one of those you talk about???????????????

How so? Don't you believe in the future human will be able to control tornadoes.

ANimals existed millions billions of years before we did. Now that were in charge of animals in the uNited states we abuse and mistreat animals, animals should be respected. Mother nature knows, this,I really think wed be better off when earth destroys us all. Earth is in charge not your God nor humans.Wed all be better off if we were vegetarians,how ignorant we are.

How can you not see this? Humans have an authority to destroy anything on this planet, do animals have an authority to destroy anything on this planet? Probably not. So, that means human have much higher rank then any animal on this planet.

I guess I can't argue with that as I'm found of saying, "Might makes Right".
If you can destroy it, you own it.

What? Me worry?
I tried to have a spiritual relationship with a kangaroo once, but it didn't work out because only one of us was hoppy (I'm truly sorry for this post but it's really a slow day).

Again with the dishonest representation of other religions. I assume you're talking about Hinduism, where cows are venerated (but not worshiped). As odd as it may seem to the rest of us, it's still far, far more respectable than venerating some disgusting pedophile.
