Deformed Worship, Reformed Idolatry
Thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother, and live long … the glory of children are their fathers. … let elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine … ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.
Just about every ancient people you can think of worshipped their dead ancestors from the Aztecs to the Eskimos, Greeks and Romans, the Celts to the Teutons to the Sarmatians all the way to the Mongolians, Chinese, and Japanese, and from tribes throughout Africa to the Australian aborigines. It seems to be an inevitable part of the postlapsarian plight to worship one’s parents in the stead of the Father.
After watching countless thousands of people commit ancestor worship around me my whole life long, it’s always struck me how it’s actually self-worship. It’s always surprised me how the Japanese people who cling to ancestor worship and insist on honouring their parents are so extremely offended if a child of theirs refuses to carry on idolatry at the family grave. They are not truly concerned about honouring their ancestors … they are offended because it means they will not be worshipped when they die.
Specialization is for insects.
Stolen shamelessly from Erika.
A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
