If they paid attention they would have seen there were no live animals.<BR/><BR/>And I suppose it would depend which part of the country you were in as to how cold it gets, but don't most animals (domesticated or otherwise) spend time outdoor all year 'round?<BR/><BR/>It's also spurious to blame the church because some teenagers dragged an animal away and beat it. How is this any different from an animal being stolen from pastureland and beaten? The atrocity was an act of the teenagers, not the church.<BR/><BR/>It's no wonder some of these groups are losing credibility. They supposedly have admirable goals, but they seem to try to look for problems where they don't exist to prove their relevence.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm. This is a good example of how we Christians are seen at times, also. We start off with an admirable mission but lose our purpose when we are too quick to judge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25030905.post-1164764253738482522006-11-28T19:37:00.000-06:002006-11-28T19:37:00.000-06:00OOO!!
