"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the same
time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel
called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.
Ephesians 5:11 says:
11. And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of
darkness, but instead even expose them;
~ New American Standard Bible
The animal exploitation section of our web site is there for this purpose: to expose the “the unfruitful deeds of darkness.”
To go through life trying to avoid the truth while contributing to the “deeds of darkness” – the consumption of animal products, donating time and money to biomedical research that utilizes animals, circuses and animal “entertainment,” hunting, fishing – is the same as active participation in cruelty. The person who supports these activities in any way becomes part of the problem, and prolongs the immense suffering of God’s creation.
James 4:17 makes it clear that turning one’s back on the truth makes one a participator in sin:
17 Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do, and
does not do it, to him it is sin.
~ New American Standard Bible
As long as people support, directly or indirectly, these “deeds of darkness” the perpetrators will stay in business.
