So there you have it, Goneril or was it Regan saying, We don't need spiders. Let us kill all the spiders. And the royal directive went out and was implemented in spades until the gardener and the gardener's wife raised a gentle protest. And the courtiers turned around and said: Who are you to say what we need and what we don't need in this world.
And finally the question of "need" was laid in God's soft lap, not because humans wanted God to decide -- heavens! these were humans like us, after all -- no it was because everybody just collapsed with exhaustion, and couldn't fulfill the "need" to decide who got to decide "need". So it was left, like all difficult things, to God.
And God turned out to need spiders. Need? Well, God turned out to want spiders, very much. God took pleasure in spiders and still does today. And how do we know this? Well, look around. This is God's domain, after all. And everywhere you look.... spiders. So reason not the need for spiders!
