Like why are goats, rats, snakes, ravens, spiders, crows bats, toads, and vultures seen as evil

They are just following their instincts and can’t understand what they are doing. Also they play a part in keeping ecosystems healthy

Fucking look at it, man. And snakes aren't necessarily seen as strictly evil, they're just wily -- even Jesus told us to be like serpents.
>>
Goats because of rumors satanists worshipped them.
Rats because they spread dangerous diseases.
Snakes becsause they used to kill people in Israel a lot which is why satan is snake.
Ravens because they are black and make a scary sound.
Spiders are poisonous and creepy.
Crows are similar to ravens.
Bats carry diseases and are black.
Toads are associated with magic because they transform.
Vultures eat dying animals or dead ones.
Lol.

>>18725044
No, rats don't keep the ecosystem healthy wtf? Some animals could all die tomorrow and nothing bad would happen.
>Rats
Carry diseases, don't even make the trash they eat disappear, trash continues existing, they aren't helping the environment
>Ticks
The most evil thing god ever created, of they died nothing bad would happened with the environment, even racoons don't care about them and eat other things
>Ravens, crows, snakes, bats, toads
Not bad, just schizos hate them because the jews told them in their jew book you have to hate them. But if all those animals died nothing would change in the environment. Bats eat fruit or blood, if they died nothing would change just more fruit for other animals. Ravens and crows would have their spot taking by pigeons that evolve to become smarter. Toads are worthless animals and invasive species, other than being funny looking their existence doesn't help nature at all. Snakes eat rats and other ugly critters, if they died you would probably have a lot more pests, they are kinda useful.
>Vultures
Kinda useful but if they all died the ground would just absorber corpses anyway so they aren't vital.
>Goats
Schizos hate them because they are schizos, of they died tho nothing would change, the spot they occupy is already done better by other animals, meat, milk, wool, being funny. They aren't a bad animal, just their importance on Earth is 0

Yes they are seen as evil. Calling someone a snake is a common insult even in modern times.

From dictionary:

“Calling someone a "snake" means they are a deceitful, untrustworthy, or backstabbing person who hides their true intentions”

The Treacherous Friend: You typically do not call an open enemy a snake; the label is reserved for someone acting like a friend to your face while waiting to betray you.

Predatory Metaphor: It compares a person to a silent ambush predator that hides, waits for your guard to drop, and strikes unexpectedly.”

(Cats do this too but not seen as evil)

I said they weren't *necessarily* seen as *strictly* evil; learn to read. Yes, they are clever killers, but no one ever went around killing them all on sight. "Dog" is an insult as well, but people have always loved dogs.

Spiders don’t hurt humans, man. Spiders are shy creatures who are more afraid of human than the other way around.

These are not evil though? Just michaevelian.

Maybe not in India or among gypsies

>snake bad
stupid Jewish subversive nonsense
>>
>>18725044
>snakes
Deadly venomous and they hide so you stumble upon them and get yourself bitten accidentally. For most of human history we did not have anti-venom, so a bite might be a very painful death sentence.

Evolutionary Psychologists also suggest we have an instinctual repulsion from when our ancestors were still tree dwellers. But that field of science is a little sketchy...

>goats
Initially the concept of the "scape goat" from Judaism, where the sins of the people were transferred to a goat and then the goat got exiled.
Later Christianity developed a concept of Satan with goat horns and hoofs, based on "pagan" deities like Pan, Baal, Cernunnos.

>rats
Spread The Plague. That's a pretty good reason.

>spiders
Same as snakes for the most part. The repulsion seems to be even more instinctual.

>crows/ravens
Eat the seeds farmers sow. Hence Scarecrows are a thing. They also dig through trash and are quite resentful when humans attack them or are mean to them. Also they were associated with the pagan god Odin/Wodan

>toads
A lot of them are toxic. Also folklore associated them with Witchcraft. You can thank Christianity again.

Goats are rebellious, rats and vultures are dirty, snakes are dangerous and sneaky. I'm not sure that ravens and spiders have a negative connotation, that might just be aesthetic.

As far as toads go, those don't have negative connotations, amphibians actually have an intentionally ambiguous charge to them, since they are messengers between two kinds of worlds. You can sometimes spot it in fairy tales that they either relay news or bridge worlds, though of course the most famous fairy toads are princes in an ugly disguise. So a lot of it has to do with aesthetics, still.

>They are just following their instincts and can’t understand what they are doing.
I don't think people hold the animals accountable. It's just that the animals represent evil the same way a sword represents war. We don't blame swords, it is just a symbol.

>why is a highly dangerous animal treated with disdain
I hope in your next life, you're reborn as the village idiot who plays with snakes, fucking retard.

Wow this board is retarded.
