They believe they protect them from epidemics? Comment: Well the good news might be if you worship these creatures then you will not eat them! What I experienced in India was when these creatures such as snakes, monkeys ,rats and the other creatures and make them a god they becomes very abundant!

The Jewish food diet programs in the Book of Leviticus are there to prevent pandemics along with strict prohibitions of idol worship! However as much of the world rejects these laws then these pandemics will continue! Jesus said these pestilences will be one of the many signs of his second coming! James and Hamsa Sasse.
