If animals can talk to each other, then why can't they pray to God ?

[chinu]

Because they don't talk?

Many scientists have observed that animals talk to each other in their own language.

Elephants can call each other from long distances.

 

[chinu]

Because praying and God are both human psychological constructs.

Why can’t this be animal’s psychological construct ?

I never see an elephants discussing about my behaviour as my neighbor did.

And there's a slight differences between talking and communicating between human and animals.

We have destroyed some animals psychologically. They pray to humans waving their tails, doggies in particular. We use the name of their species as an abuse.

Employees wave their tail in front of their boss. Are bosses = God for them ?

 

[chinu]

Why would they? God is a human construct

Why can’t God be animals construct ?

They have their own community and their own neighbourhood — they discuss that.

Perhaps, animals think the same for humans.

Yeah, the job situation is not very bright these days. It never has been very good in India.

They have no need.

They discuss about their neighborhood? That's new for me.

Could you define it further?

Maybe it is, but they're not saying.

 

[Mock Turtle]

Why NOT ?

If you can provide a route to such, as requested in my other post, then you might know why not. So please explain how this might happen - a concept in God, gods, or something similar, and then perhaps prayer.

Eagles sleep in the lap of Zeus. They don't have to pray. They have direct communications.

 

[SomeRandom]

Well I mean there are praying mantises. Just saying

Have any animals at all told you that they do not pray to god? Seriously? Animals connect to the goddess Hertha all of the time. Chimpanzees and Elephants do ritual displays to the goddess Hertha and there is plenty of observations for this and why not other animals. No if you are specifying the human created Abrahamic god then there is no need for animals to pray a man made god is there?

Yes they are all asking why humans are so stupid. Humans destroy the plants that give them oxygen they destroy the land that gives them food. They treat all other life with no respect. So they ask why would I pray to a god that doesn't stop this other animal from destroying the planet we share. Clearly not a very intelligent god.

I had a dream once of my cat doing a documentary about humans and their strange behavior with toilet water. I will never forget his accent... It was so funny, but so true!

"I don't understand how these humans, presented with a pure source of water, just come along and befoul it!"

Ahh so that’s why cats are so contemptuous of humans? Explains a lot

It makes sense...

Just imagine. Your throat is dry, you're overcome with thirst. Ahead, you see a cool bowl of water shimmering...and then some weird two legged creature comes up, squats, and.......... whaaaat!?!?

I see that. I’d hate us too.

Some of them do pray to God.
