I get a kick out of watchin' my God-less MacCaws. Unlike US, THEY mate for life. Sex is No Big Deal..tho acquiring a Mate is. After that, they're the Best of Family-Raisers! I'm their Idea of God..I break up most Big Disputes...Provide Food & Shelter..& whatever Encouragement a Pet Owner can.
& yep, in some way, The Deity HAS our Characteristics: I'm sometimes LATE with "Whatever's Expected." Sometimes even FORGET The Important Stuff (like turning their lights out in the Garage every night..so they can sleep) because Something "More Important" took my mind off The Routine. In their own Limited Way they return The Love...Offspring..The Occasional Caress..Mimicry..(Most of the 4 are "talkers")..& their simple Beauty as Living Beings.
As their "God", I don't really Expect Much. I'm aware of their Limited Brainpower (That of a Human 4-yr-old) and Vocabulary. They could care less about "Evolution"..or a Tripartite Deity.
I'm aware they CAN inflict Pain on me..in enough ways They DO Get My Respect. But I'd never think of killin' 'em off, no matter what they do, tho, yep, I'll miss them if they die before I do (Which ISN'T likely..the REAL Deity gave THEM Over-100 Yr Lifespans!) (Prolly because MacCaws are less a Pain-in-The-Celestial Butt than Man is.)
Anyways, you CAN extrapolate a LOT about The Essence of The Deity from Non-Biblical Sources. (For instance, The Deity's sent down FIVE different Genders..each very "Naturally-Occuring": Straight Males, Straight Females, Gay Men, Lesbians, & Hermaphrodites. They ALL get Born Here..Daily. Get used to it.)
Children are occasionally born with TAILS, too. (I wonder what THAT means...Hmmm?)
None of The Above bothers me in the least. IF it bothers you, be sure to let me know why. (If God sent it, It's Got to Be Good..)
