*does the looks-over-glasses-with-eyebrows-raised thing a la Albus Dumbledore at one of the comments*
Oh this looks good...
Apparently, Adrian, "You reap what you sow", you've "shortened the Lord's arm", and... uh... You're gonna get what's coming to you. Ahem. One moment...
I presume from the comment that they're Christian. Right. Let's see what this book says.
Genesis 1:26: and [God] said, Make we man to our image and likeness, and be he sovereign to the fishes of the sea, and to the volatiles of the heaven, and to the unreasonable beasts of the earth, and to each creature, and to each creeping beast, which is moved in the earth.
Genesis 9:1-4: And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase ye, and be ye multiplied, and fill ye the earth; and your dread and trembling be on all the unreasonable beasts of the earth, and on all the birds of the heavens, with all things that be moved in the earth; all the fishes of the sea be given into your hand. And all thing which is moved and liveth shall be to you into meat; now I have given to you all things, as I gave the green worts before, except that ye shall not eat flesh with the blood
So... if it's quite plainly spelled out right there and has been in coherent English for, oh, at least 700 years, apparently people still have considerable issues with reading comprehension. 'Cause unless you just gnaw on the animal without having killed it first (hence "ye shall not eat flesh with the blood"), there's no "what's coming to you" from the Lord re: hunting animals. Nor have you gone a-shortening any arms, seeing as that's not remotely applicable to the situation (or the relevant passage in Isaiah), as hunting is patently not a sin and is endorsed by the Lord. Oh and Galatians doesn't mention hunting as part of the naughty things that result in corruption re: reaping/sowing. So that part of their argument's just them sounding high and mighty, or trying to.
What a fun way to wake up in the morning, pointing and laughing at sanctimonious twits. Anyone wanna use this as the basis for a rebuttal in that guttertrash comment section, do feel free.
