If you believe there is a god for humans, then why shouldn't there be a god for other live things, such as pigs, penguins, dogs, ants, bees, aliens if they exist, perhaps even bacteria or other microbes. For, in my opinion, life itself is the unexplained miracle, not just we humans.
Imagine there is a bacteria God and you could conclude that he-she-it works hard for them, creating mutations, ducking and diving, always trying to outwit human endeavours to eliminate the ones that are bad. No wonder so many of the nasty little devils thrive.
I don't believe there is such a thing as a god - pig, dog, penguin, bacteria or other - but if I am wrong and there is one for humans, he-she-it has proved to be very unkind and has certainly got it in for old people. It wouldn't have taken much effort to devise a death that is pleasant and doesn't involve a long drawn-out painful breaking down of body and mind. Something to look forward to.
Having just looked back to my 22nd January ramblings about a dog god and manna from heaven in the form of bones, I see a theme is developing. Watch this space. Well not this one obviously. You've already read this.
