"Christians are given imagery of a shepherd lovingly guarding his flock from the wolves and lions that lurk just outside of the painting. Are they are ever told WHY the shepherd guards his flock, or what the sheep are used for? Well, shepherds…"

Vulpes replied to Jacob Gladden's discussion The one thing about Christianity that bothers me the most
"Definitely the use of biblical glasses for looking at the world. If it doesn't fit with the bible, or any other religion, then it isn't true.
Oh, and also, the constant use of end world arguments. Telling people the world is…"

"Sexism really bothers me the most -- it's the thing that got me started questioning when I was little. Then it just snowballed from there -- then other things started to bother me. The list would just be too long."

The one thing about Christianity that bothers me the most
I'm driving home from work and I see a sign for "Little Lambs Sunday School" in front of a nice big baptist church. ::facepalm:: They refer to themselves as sheep! I mean, come on! Sheep? Really?
