The biblical analogy is that Jesus is the Shepherd. He will always take care of his herd. The political analogy of sheep =/= the biblical analogy.


Absolutely.... The problem is some fricking pastor (lots of them) referring to himself as the shepard and the congregation the flock. Ain't no mf'n man, pastor or not, gonna refer to me as a damn sheep! ... I will not comply!

People are sheep.

Religion gives a higher power so people don’t follow other men.

Every decent person I know believes they have a purpose and has a set of guiding principles.

You missed the "paraclete", i.e., God is our Advocate.

Yes. Christians and muslims are sheep and follow a higher power.


I used to think it was nonsensical, until I saw a legion of leftists worshipping the government. Got me thinking 'damn, at least the old school religious people choose to worship a higher power.. leftists choose to worship government agencies that are made up of corrupt, unelected employees who are no better than the people worshipping them. '

I’ll be praying for your soul and your brain. But mostly your brain.

Hold on there my friend. It’s a serious matter and deserves more respect than it’s being given.

John 1:29
“The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'”

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

1 John 2:2
“and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.”

Regarding are Christians sheep? Hard to argue against it.

1 Peter 2:25
“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

What about apostrophes? Are they sheeplike in mindset?

Not true. "He will place the sheep on the right and goats on the left". In Matthew somewhere. You don't want to be a goat.
