@hookskat I’ve been googling this and can’t find anything that confirms that a shepherd eats the sheep. They only tended them for someone else.
@hookskat I’m from Africa and would be certain that this proverb is more about being wary about trusting the people closest to you. But don’t let that get in the way of an opportunity to have a dig at Christianity because- sheep and shepherd.
@hookskat At least you can avoid the predator who obviously show his intention, but you cannot avoid a predator who trapped you with love.
@hookskat And it kills me how they ‘sacrificed’ a goat or a lamb to god Weren’t they gonna kill it before they ate it anyway? Saying some words does what exactly?
@hookskat That is a really great saying and then viewing it through a former Christian lens just really speaks to me
