In my opinion, the single most telling piece of evidence that shows how poorly we're manifesting our call to care for animals is the recent creation of factory farms. Over the last century we have, to a large degree, reduced farm animals to commercialized commodities whose only value is found in how efficiently we can produce and slaughter them for profit. Consequently, more than 26 billion animals each year are forced to live in miserable, overcrowded warehouses, where there is absolutely nothing natural about their existence and where they are subjected to barbaric, painful, industrial procedures.
This is a far cry from what God meant when he told us to exercise "dominion." (Pastor Greg Boyd.)

I wonder if Jimbo will discover this one.
People aren't moral and rational because some sort of religion or atheism has automatically put that moral or rational thinking in them; people are moral and rational because they are the image of a loving and wise God.

Not a rant, but a question. As I understand it, your basis for insults is that it was allowable and expected under the honor-based, challenge-riposte system of the ancient near east. But why use it now, in this individualistic society where most of the people you will be responding to don't understand the "rules of the game" whereby an honor chalenge like that was the expected behavior?
Indeed, couldn't it be said that in this society there are differant "rules" which stipulate that insults are a sign of disrespect and childishness? Shouldn't you adapt your way of debating to the environment that you find yourself in?...the compass of existence held more than my text-books had revealed, more than I had ever dreamed of. In short I lost my superiority, and this, though I was not then aware of it, is the first step towards finding God.-A.J. Cronin

It is a problem when you use them against fellow Christians, like LA. Ghariyal, who aren't leading anyone astray.

Vance doesn't think insults are of God. And he still hasn't backed that one up. By his reasoning, he thinks ANYONE who insults is not of God. Yes, that indeed can and will lead people away...
"If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight!" Sun Tsu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal because he invented it! And then he perfected it so that no living man can best him on the ring of honor! Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE! Ehehehehehehehehehe. And from that day forward anytime a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a 'zoo!' Unless it's a farm!

I just wanted to say that much of the moving of the posts to this thread was done by TAM who is now under the name of Bruce Lee. Be sure to send him some pearls. He worked really hard on this.

And pearls for putting my name on it too; a bonus ! I'm the first person officially deemed ungrateful of JPH's Screwballing work for the Kingdom of God.
You dissenters, ingrates--Loftuses, all, that will follow me; whine not long ! And though his suck ups be many, take heart, remembering the way out of here is always just one mouse click away.
