Maybe you should listen to YOURSELF. If you did, you would leave the religion you are in and start thinking for yourself.

Bats listen to themselves, quite literaly, or they wouldn't get around very well. In addition to bats, echo location is used by whales, porpoises, dolphins, seals, shrews, tenrecs, oil birds, and several species of swiftlets.
It is the small, insectivorous bats, the Microchiroptera, that have highly developed echo location abilities which account for 70% of all bat species.
The elaborately designed noses of echo locating bats is somehow connected to their sonar abilities but scientists have not yet figured out the exact function.
Bats fly with their mouths open, not to look vicious, but because they are echo locating. Almost all echo locating calls are out of the range of human hearing. Humans can hear sounds up to 20 kilohertz but bats echo locate in the 9 - 200 kilohertz range. Most of the squeaks and squawks bats make in their roost is not echo location.
If human ears could hear the echo locating of bats our nights would be very noisy. Some bats echo locate as if "shouting", operating at loud as 110 decibels or the loudness of a smoke alarm. Others echo locate by "whispering" at 60 decibels, the level of normal human conversation.
Bats are the only major predators of night-flying insects including mosquitoes. One bat may eat up to 3,000 insects in a night.
Seventy percent of bat species eat only insects and a bat can catch six hundred mosquitoes in an hour. How many can a Wue light bug zapper kill in the same time?
Some bats capture insects in mid-flight while others glean them off the surfaces of leaves and trees. Their echo location abilities is designed to suit its method of feeding.
The Zotzil Maya take their name from the Maya word for "bat", zotz. They live in "zotzil ha"(bat's house) and their capital in Chiapas, Mexico is Zinacantan, Nauatl for "place of the bat".
The Maya worshipped a bat god "ZOTZILHA CHAMALCAN" who had a human body but the head and wings of a bat. He appears in glyphs on alters, pottery,and stone pillars. People as blood thirsty as the ancient Maya also admire the vampire bat's natural gift and couldn't resist deifying an animal whose tastes resembled their own.
The emblem glyph for the ancient Maya city of Copan includes the head of a leaf-nosed bat.
One of the Spanish chronicles tells of Atahualpa, the Inca ruler, wearing a bat-skin shirt and cape which was softer than silk When asked what his clothes were made of, he replied that they came from the "birds" that fly at night.
The Toba from the Gran Chaco region of northern Argentina tells of their very first leader - a hero bat or bat-man who taught people all they needed to know as human beings.
The ancient Egyptians prized bat parts which were used as medicines for a variety of diseases.
A bat is on the coat of arms of Barcelona and is on the coat of arms of Valencia's capital.
The Chinese word for bat is pronounced just as the word for happiness,"fu". Bat motif is prevalent on Chinese works of art. They regard the bat as a symbol for prosperity, good fortune, long life, health, and happiness.
References to bats often occur in Chinese conversation relating marriage ceremonies and other celebrations.
In one of Aesop's fables, a weasel snares a bat and pauses to explain that it only feeds on birds. The wily bat informs the weasel that it is a mouse. Later on the bat is captured by another weasel who tells him that it only preys on mice so the bat swears to the weasel that he is a bird.
A Hopi legend tells of a bat created out of dust and spirit who saves a maiden from being raped.
European cultures tend to link bats with evil. In "Macbeth" the three witches season their pot with "wool of bat" and during the Middle Ages they were called "witches' birds".
Bats are very dangerous so if you see them flying about, where people are swimming, you must stop listening to yourself. You must then shout, at the top of your lungs "¡Quidados Zizilos!"
