I would disagree here with my good friend, Art. Saying that I was descended
in part, from a non-human being, is not the same as worshipping the created
things any more than saying I was descended from a man, named George
Washington Morton, is equivalent to worshipping him. Worship of the creation
is a separate item from determining descent. Ancestor worship is certainly
possible and so is worship of nature. But belief in a particular lineal
descent does not force upon one a sense of worshipful awe.
