The local weekly “freebie” paper, which is distributed in all the
mailboxes here, serves as an example of the hardness of heart found
among so-called “religious” people.
Every issue contains a Bible verse, usually from the Old Testament,
prominently displayed. (In one issue the word “statue” was mistakenly
used instead of the correct word “statute” in the Bible verse! Big
difference!)
This paper is full of ads that read like something you would expect
to hear from one of those red-neck, stand-up comedians. Right under a
“Memorial Day” banner an ad proclaimed “ROASTING PIGS” in big letters.
What a way to remember and honor the dead! Of course, the ad also
reassured readers with the words “Natural Foods,” prominently displayed,
and also “Fresh from our farm, hormone free and federally inspected.”
But no mention of the cruelty involved.
Another ad for an auction says “New This Year!” and goes on with
“Small animals and horses, livestock sold as is with no warranties.”
Then there are the usual ads for “free kittens”….
As expected, every year this paper devotes several pages to the
hunting season with articles and pictures promoting the killing of the
innocent, as well as ads for guns and ammo, etc.
There are always the restaurant ads and every holiday brings out
those that promote the body parts and secretions which the carnivores
favor for their ungodly celebration; you know – the hams for Easter, the
turkeys for Thanksgiving….
Those who remain hard-of-heart appear to live in a state of
self-deception for which there is no excuse.
