Theological Entomology

Bugs have a considerably more advanced society and social hierarchy than most people realize. Which makes me wonder, do insects have a religion? Do they see the crumbs and scraps left by humans as gifts from the Gods, and fly swatters and magnifying glasses as the wrath of God? Are there stories that get passed on from generation to generation about great bugs of the past, or even heavenly bugs that promise salvation?

If bugs had a Messiah, would he be the Anty Christ?

If Jesus was an ant, Christians would wear asterisks around their necks.

Think about that.

Wow. I don't even know how to respond to that.

I do like the idea of me being God, wielding my swatter to punish their sinfulness.

"Thou shalt not covet God's brownie, or thou shalt be smited with a fiery yellow waffle-patterned swatter from Fraternalife Insurance. The Almighty has spoken."

Is that why the fear of refusing religious brochures shoved in your face is called atractnophobia?
