That’s not the same Christianity I try to believe in.......

My bible is about the condition of man and his relationship with his Creator. It rarely mentions the welfare of animals and when it does it is usually for the following two reasons.

1. Telling you how to take care of your stuff.
2. An allegory for how to treat people (e.g. don’t “muzzle the ox”).

It does give explicit instructions on how to slaughter them, however.

Christianity is not about animals, other than their role as the “earth” that we are to subdue.

I've witnessed the actions of you self professed Christians and read your comments here on this website and your own derision of a couple who are willing to offer aid to a severely injured animal reaffirms my belief that whatever church YOU belong to, I have no wish to join........

You know, it’s really not a good idea to try and post when you’re half-asleep. I found that out a moment ago. I had a bunch of Scripture verses-—over a dozen-—to show you that you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

Way back at the beginning of Genesis, we’re told that God looked at His creation and found it all good. That included animals. And you can believe He doesn’t have a cold heart toward any part of His creation. That’s why it’s a mystery to me that some who call themselves His think it’s funny, or smart, or macho, or whatever to act the opposite.

I’m not going to copy and paste all those verses again, but I do wish you could have seen the evidence of God’s love and care for the helpless and the mute. Isn’t it wonderful that He has a merciful heart for them when so many of us are unfeeling?

I’m a Christian and a conservative, and I’ve been an animal lover all my life. Anyone who thinks that makes me less of either can sue me.
