But, what you may not know is how similar they are!
I know there are many of you out there not privileged enough to live near the Mexican border. If this is so, you may very well have not even heard of this chupacabra. Generally, knowledge of chupacabra runs in the same circles as the knowledge of "la llorena", or the marfa lights. For your benefit, I will give a brief description of the chup as we know it today at this link.
God started showing up to folks about 6,000 years ago, when he created the earth. Or, maybe folks started showing up to god when he created them, or maybe god started showing up to folks when they created him... Whatever. Most importantly, god created the chupacabra right before, or right after (depending on which biblical creation story you believe; Gen 1:25 vs Gen 2:18) humans. Some will tell you that god did not create the chupacabra, that the chup had been around as long as god and time. I, personally, believe this to be true. Since the bible does not say that "god then created the chupacabra", and the chup is neither man, woman, plant, earth, nor animal, it must've been around before god got create happy. Whatever camp you are in, it is important to realize that you are still vulnerable to both god and the chupacabra. Either could rain terror on you at any time and for no good reason (see Job; see mexican goats, respectively).

(Now, since I have the most experience with the Judeo-Christian god, please note that henceforth my references
will be to that specific deity and his story, The Bible. No offense to Shiva, Buddha, Allah, Ganesh, Ra, Thor, Zeus,
insert yours here ___.)
Their many similarities explain why they are such good friends.
They go way back...
