Comment on "Dance Monkeys Dance"

It took me a few perusals of Ernest Cline's "Dance Monkeys Dance" video to respond...(see my post "Monkeys/Monkees" dated November 23rd, 2007.)

Mr. Cline postulates that human beings are no more than monkeys.

Yet, he states that human beings "are at once the ugliest and most beautiful creatures on the planet." That is, if human beings "would apply themselves."

Cline recognizes that these monkeys (aka human beings) are self-aware; and states what separates them from other animals (other monkeys) is their ability and propensity to HATE...

So, if human beings (aka monkeys) hate, does it not follow that these monkeys (unlike other monkeys) NEED GOD...(for forgiveness)...

Because these monkeys (aka human beings) hate, they are ALONE. They are separated from each other and from the remainder of the creation by their HATRED. This indeed is what separates these monkeys from the other monkeys.

Now, of what value is a made-up GOD?

If monkeys worship made-up gods, perhaps there is a REAL GOD... one who made these particular monkeys in HIS/HER OWN IMAGE... and who was extraordinarily distressed when these monkeys turned to self-hatred and so to other-hatred... just to be like the made-up gods...

No wonder some monkeys (aka human beings) believe that they are only monkeys (aka animals.)
