Goddess of the Binky

In our reading about Ancient Egypt we came across this picture today of the cat goddess Bastet depicted with a golden nose ring.

Very impressed, my three year old Elijah exclaimed, "Cat have ba-ba? Cat have ba-ba like me! Gimme dat ba-ba, cat!" I fear that the foundation of Christian faith may be undermined by this feline idol masquerading as a harbinger of everlasting pacifiers.
