What if an ant could talk to God? · 10:20pm May 3rd, 2022
What would it say? What if ants have talked to God and God has talked to ants? Who knows what prophets and heroes are recorded in the annals of ant lore passed down from generation to generation, from Queen to Queen, from burrow to burrow?
How dare you make my brain hurt like this
Whose to say that Ants weren’t made of God’s image and we’re just animals to the Ant?

Whoa.
The brontosaurus had a brain no bigger than a crisp.
The dodo had a stammer. The mammoth had a lisp.
The auk was much too awkward. Now they're none of them alive.
Each of these creatures showed, like man, their unfitness to survive.
Their story points a moral, now it's we who wear the pants:
The extinction of these species holds a lesson for us ants.
--"Dead Ducks," Flanders & Swann
Ant: Why hast thou forsaken us?
God: -shrugs- Not sure what to say. I'm just an entity with a magnifier. So... sorry, I guess?
