Suzannianism

Suzannianism is an ancient Jewish sect which has as one it's core beliefs that there are no inanimate objects, that all things are part of the living, and that all things can be named, as one would name the kind of thing that most people recognize as alive. This can be viewed as an extension of life after death, in the sense that dead things, being inanimate, are also alive. Perhaps the best example of this is the extent that this is done, by members of the sect, in the case of cars. Somewhat apocryphal is the legend that, long before Abraham, his ancestors came to this planet from the planet Suzannia, where such was common practice. One wonders if the planet had many cars, and if there was a time before cars, say in the case where horse driven carriages were used, and if the spirit of the horse came to inhabit the carriage.
