I need catchy phrases to put on my protest poster

[Medusa]

Use this one. It is straight from the Bible:

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, and animal abusers shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Revelation 21:8

I have several translations of the Bible and none of them include animal abusers in this particular scripture. What translation is that taken from, please?

Let us have no misunderstanding here. I place animals on the same level of "Precious in the God's site," as humans, and for that point of view I make no apologies.

Donna, it's great you're doing this! It needs to be short and to the point - so far, I like Freedom's and Medusa's suggestions.

How are you planning to do the writing? By hand? Letraset? Size of letters? think about these things.

There is no misunderstanding. I wouldn't expect an apology for your viewpoint because we're all entitled to one. However, to add or detract from any text, holy or otherwise, doesn't help the cause and is, at its core, dishonest. The Bible stands on its own. To my knowledge, it does not mention animal abuse or punishment for animal abusers, only that we are exhorted to be caregivers and that we are expected to care for our animals, Proverbs 12:10 being just one of those exhortations. It isn't my intention to start a religious debate, to go off topic or to highjack this thread; however, to misquote the Bible or to interject a passage to suit an agenda is, IMHO, wrong. If you had stated it as the "gospel according to Willow Oak", it would have gone unchallenged on my part.

I apologize for all my shortcomings, of which I have many. Thank you for so drawing my attention, and everyone else's, to one of them. I am sure that I am as dishonest as you are honest.

I think a misquote of the bible should be pointed out, Medusa is not the kind of person to pick on anyone.

[moosmom]

Let me know what you think. Ya think I'll get the message across?

Isn't that baby beautiful?

Thank you.

Donna, those posters speak volumes. They

'll definitely get the point across to everyone about this piece of pond scum (no, he's lower than that). It's funny though, that given his rap sheet that he's not in jail now. Any one of those charges should have given him jail time. As someone here said, "hand him over to the PTers!"

This is not about shortcomings, yours or anyone else's. This is commentary on your blatant tampering w/Bible scripture. However, your sarcasm is duly noted. It is you who drew attention to yourself, not I. I made no insult and did not indulge in name calling. I did not say that you are dishonest but your "misquote" of scripture. Misrepresenting scripture in order to further an agenda only lends to the argument that animal rescuers/lovers, etc. will stoop to any level to further their cause, thereby tagging us as kooks. Your love of animals is not in question; it's your method of deliberately misquoting the Bible without a caveat such as "I feel animal abusers should be included in this passage" with which I take issue. The very fact that you're so defensive speaks volumes.
