This isn't meant to be a serious question, it's just how my mind works. This morning I walked into the room where my computer is located and saw this weird looking insect about an inch and a half across with a kind of striped coloring. I don't even know what the hell it was but I immediately stomped it to death for breaking and entering my home. It might have been a spider but it seemed to have a kind of tail. I hate spiders and they scare me but if I'm confronted with one I'll engage it in combat until the spider is dead. Most of the creatures I detest are representatives of the insect world such as mosquitos, flies, bees and hornets. I'm just so grateful that spiders can't fly. I've added a new creature to my hit list and that is the mole. They've attacked my yard for months. I've counterattacked and killed three of them but that was months ago and they're still digging away. So I obviously have no deep philosophical questions on my mind this morning. I've been preoccupied with a creepy crawly which is now wrapped in a paper towel in the garbage can. Do you have any creature which gives you goosebumps and make you wince in fear that you could add to this lofty conversation?

Well, let's just say when I get to heaven, I plan on asking God what he was thinking when he made centipedes, fleas, roaches and lice. [shudder]

Which Of God's Creatures Do You Detest The Most?

Human beings. Hands down the winner. Scum of the earth!

Okay, that is only HALF a joke. I don't detest any part of creation. Virus and disease would probably come as close to earning my detest, but even then it would be more like fear and ignorance on my part and not hatred for germs, etc.

In fact, I was taught from an early age, that spiders are a sign of good luck to my tribe. I don't kill any bugs because they are icky or Eww! creepy crawlers. I try not kill any at all.

Except for food, I believe in live and let live. So, I guess I am not a good person to answer this question. Viva la insects!

I really like bugs and spiders and creepy crawly things. They fascinate me. There are lots of them in the national forest where I live. I suppose the ones that are parasites on people are quite disgusting. Of all of god's creatures, I dislike landlords the most.

I don't like any animal that eats reptiles (which I love).

Oh, and the majority of humans.

People, they are the only ones who deviate from their instructions. All other creatures do as they are supposed to. Why should I question Gods wisdom in that?

I found one of these on my pillow when I was in Qatar. I have to say, I think I hated it from the moment I saw it.
