No, I'm not going to talk about the Social Darwinism professed by the
Religious Right (that would be another day). But rather about another
monkey trait.

Christians are followers (sheep), who never question fairy tales like
the Garden of Eden, the talking serpent, the forbidden fruit, the
femme fatale, etc, who doomed humanity...

Being a follower, however, makes honor to your cousin primates: MONKEY
SEE, MONKEY DO. Never question, just follow the leader. Everybody
going to church? OK, let's go to church. Everybody went for a
warmongering president? OK, let's support the president. Everybody
taking a bath in hot springs? OK, let's plunge in... ;)

But no, monkey behavior among Christians doesn't stop at "monkey see,
monkey do," and choosing an alpha male monkey for leader...

It also includes other wild behaviors...

"Here are some behaviors found in wild-living adult monkeys, which we
can see duplicated or find some variations in pet monkeys: Touching,
hugging, affectionate leaning or snuggling, mouthing, lip-smacking,
vocalizing, greeting, sexual mounting, sexual activity, sexual
displays, mothering or parenting behavior, urine scenting, dominant or
possessive or protective behaviors, grooming, aggressive displays or
threats, biting, pinching, hair pulling, intimidation, aggressive or
play chasing, temporary social alliances, long-term social alliances
and so on."

(Some of these behaviors though are practiced rather discreetly)
