Hunting Unfairly. Social Injustice, Animal Style





Hunting Vehicle In Texas

Maybe we should hand out rifles to the "big game". How stupid is this?

I'm not a vegetarian, although I could be. I'm not against hunting, although I never would myself unless I had to in order to survive (see vegetarian again).

But I do believe that hunting should be done with great respect for creation, the animal, and with nature as a whole.

Sitting in vehicle like this, drinking away, and taking pot shots across a field, only to slap each other on the back is a bit like getting in the rink to box a 10 year old, with your mates cheering you on.

Make it fair people. God created nature for us to enjoy, not slaughter. Death is a part of the fall - all of it. Don't just shoot while you're shooting the shit.

The Large (or small) Holy Shit Thought of the Day


About 1,500 galaxies are visible in this deep view of the universe, taken by allowing the Hubble Space Telescope to stare at the same tiny patch of sky for 10 consecutive days in 1995. The image covers an area of sky only about width of a dime viewed from 75 feet away.


How small are we? (Or how big is God?)

Cosmologists now conservatively theorize this:

Think of an atom that we will call "A"

Think of the observable universe - all that we can see and observe with the instruments we have today including Hubble (13+ Billion Light-years in any direction). We'll call that "O"

Now we'll call the possible size of all of creation beyond what we can see and we'll call that "C"

And consider this: A is to O as O is to C.

The Atom is to the Observable Universe as the Observable Universe is to all of Creation.

Which means that all we can observe is like an atom compared to what might be out there.

My brain hurts.
