I don't understand tho, don't they use the same animal to depict Satan, or something?
A goat for Satan, probably helps to show they are both similar and capable of the same things but Jesus chose the good path.
The metaphors are also hilarious. Jesus is "the lamb", but he also guides his own flock as a shepherd.
Sheep have a habit of mindlessly following the group (lol).
But... You know what the shepherd does, with the sheep, right? He's not taking care of his flock because they're pets.
If you have spent any time with goats you'll know they're much cooler than sheep. Goats are so much fun.
TL;DR: God wants to eat us.

Satan was goated as a callback to Pan, one of the chthonic Hellenic gods (not to be confused with the Cthonian Hellenic gods. Ia! 🐙🌊🌠).
Late stage Jesus was Apollonian rather than Dionysian so Satan, now a proper antagonist, inherited all the chthonic stuff.
It's also why (Pauline ~~Paulonian~~ as in the Apostle Paul -- I was thinking of Apollonian as above. Words.) Jesus is about asceticism where Satan is about indulgence.
Least. Creative religion. Ever.
Ahh yes, history is always written by the winner.
If so they shoud have goat powers like being able to eat anything, and to walk up nearly-sheer inclines.
