    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 don't see why the Bible should be so exonerated, seeing how it is so full of animal abuse and child abuse.

    it's funny

    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!"

    As I had said in a previous post - "an eye for an eye" is what this monster deserves. And in this case it's unfortunate that we are too civilized to impose that sentence.

    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.
    Blessings,
    Mary
