This week’s local free advertising paper has outdone even itself in
hypocrisy!
It’s hard to believe that they can’t see that their weekly Bible
verse contradicts their unbelievably hard-hearted articles. Case in
point: This week’s Bible verse from Psalm[s] 46:10: “Be still and know
that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in
the earth.” And their main feature? – “Big Game Guide” complete with
disgusting photos and hype promoting the killing of God’s most innocent
of creatures.
Can you imagine an article that starts with: “If you’re like most
hunters, you probably enjoy the thrill of the chase as much as you do
the actual kill” and ends with: “It is unethical not to recover a
wounded deer”? What doublespeak! How can it be ethical (in the first
place) to track down and shoot for fun God’s creature who has his/her
own right to enjoy life?
Another article – this one promoting the use of handguns – starts out
with: “You’re an avid (There’s that word again!) hunter with a wide
range of equipment to prove it, plus a few trophies mounted on your
walls.” It goes on with: “the latest trend…is hunting with a handgun.”
Obviously, the god who enjoys the shedding of innocent blood is not
the God who created Heaven and Earth.
