Fluff of God

>Have herd of fluffy ponies in natural habitat

>They are animals

>Very much operating on instincts, survival of the fittest

>Primitive

>Go to the store

>Pick up the bible on audiotape

>Play it on a casset player, and deliver it to the fluffy herd in disguise as a bush

>Fluffy herd crowds around the "tawkey fwein'" and, eventually, shut up and listen to it

>They listen to fabulous tales of boys slaying giants and giant ships and great floods and towers of babel

>Your hypothesis is correct

>Post-exposure, Fluffy ponies develop their own miniature version of religion

>Concepts in the bible form the basis for fluffy pony morality

>No more do mothers shun their babies

>Eating the meat of any other creature is forbidden (the herd had occasionally fed on the carcasses of dead rabbits they found)

>Fluffy ponies live in fear of god, but have a generally more-equal society

>Smarty friends are phased out

>Soon, fluffy ponies begin to develop tactics for finding food, agriculture (burying berries), and, in some cases, art (pictures out of berry juice)

>Experiment: successful!

>All forseen in your hypothesis

>All except one thing

>Fluffy ponies now bite the foreskin off of baby colts at birth

>Turns out the audiobook you bought only contained the Old Testament

>"Mawzzuwtowff!"
