So, millennia in the past cats decided to start hanging out with humans...

(Meanwhile dogs also did this, but it is likely that "we" humans initiated the friendship, "we" domesticate dogs.)

Cats most likely came to "us". They chose to "like" us... chose to hang out with us. At 1st it was likely that cats came around because our life style came with easy prey (mice, rats, birds).

Later, however, cats decided that a closer relationship was in order.

"We" humans willingly embraced this relationship with cats.

So... (let's pretend like god/gods exist)... what if it is a similar scenario with god/gods?

Did god capture and domesticate "us" and "we" liked it because it is a good deal being taken care of by god? (i.e. the dog scenario)

Or, did "we" chose to be "domesticated" by god for our own benefit? (i.e. the cat scenario)


After all, from god/gods perspective "we" are not "needed".... and from the human perspective, neither dogs nor cats are "needed"...

Man, created God in his own image (imagination) to control large populations.

Slavery is only tenable when the slave produces more that it consumes. A large population of slaves is easier to control when the overseer is an omnipresent God.

My guess would be we're cats.

Back in the olden days, when times were tough, we looked for any advantage we could find to help us survive. And if that meant dancing around a fire, hootin' and hollerin' to the sky (god) to bring clouds and rain ... and if (when) it worked, then we'll gladly subjugate our selves to this greater being.
(note, that is just a hypothesis, not an anecdote)

If we are dogs, then that kind of puts a damper on the free will thing. "Either live in my house, or die starving in the desert."
Yeah, thanks for the choices dude.

odd way, you can look at this:

dogs service man for hunting and play.
cats service woman for gentle and compassion.
