The Parable of the Insane Dog Breeder

Anonymous

There once lived a man who bred dogs. Over the years he worked to produce a breed of strong, intelligent and loyal animals. At last he developed a unique breed which, he liked to think, reflected the best of his own nature. nature. And for awhile all was good. Then the animals began fighting. They fought among themselves and with other breeds. They fought and injured and killed, often for trivial reasons, sometimes for no reason at all. Worst of all in the breeder's eyes, the dogs became disobedient, sometimes not even recognizing him as their master. Because he could not bear their savagery, nor endure their arrogant disobedience, the breeder decided he must destroy them. He planned to kill them all.

Then he had another idea. He loved his dogs so much, in spite of their unremitting savagery, that he decided to put his young son in the dog pen as a model of innocence and virtue, to save the dogs from themselves. Surely, in the presence of such an obvious example, a teacher sent by their master, the dogs would be humbled and would learn to reject their monstrous ways. But in his heart the breeder knew this would not happen. He knew the dogs would kill his son. And they did. The dogs ripped away the young man's clothing and tore him to bloody pieces.

The insane breeder continued to love his dogs, and he told them, "Any of you who will believe this was my son, whom I allowed to be killed for your sakes, I will not punish, but I will bring you to live with me in my house."

Any human being who would do such a thing to his own son would rightly be condemned as insane, immoral and evil. In every human society, a person who abets the murder of an innocent for the sake of the unworthy, and calls it "love", is rightly regarded as insane, immoral and evil. If we would hold this opinion of a humble dog breeder, what then can we say of an omnipotent and omniscient Deity who does the same thing? How much more insane, immoral and evil must a Deity be, to commit a morally equivalent act? To deny this conclusion we must abandon not only reason, but simple human decency as well

you need a hobby ,, like me

Kisses

I think we have the same hobby

Well it is a little different, but you are right

but "yzrabbit" the young son had the "Free Will" to make the decision not to get ripped to threads and those dogs have the "Free Will" to not rip the insane breeder's young son to threads so it is not the insane breeders fault ...no court on Earth would convict the insane breeder of any wrong doing ..besides the courts know that the insane breeder has already brought his son back to life to kill all the dogs during the armageddon dog show hosted by Michael Vick

ROFL

You better see a Dr for that.

Well, there's supposed to be a reason why the dog owner supposedly did this insane thing.

Unfortuantely that reason isn't given in the Bible and after 40 years of searching for the answer to that question I finally decided that the story was a farce. At least the part about the dog owner sending in his son.

It wasn't the dog owners son after all. It was just one of the neighbors kids who got into the pen by accident.

Oh, the kid was a good kid alright. He had good intentions. He truly loved the dogs and wanted to save them. But he had never been sent by anyone to accomplish this task and his fate was all for naught.

That's my story and um stick'in to it.

the insane breeder was insane for a reason...that's why he waited until one the female dogs were asleep and used a turkey baster filled with his manhood to impregnant her..so the child was of his loins ..

Oh I guess anonymous forgot that part.

You guys are flirting with the edge there aren't you?

I don't believe the stories, but I'm not out to insult people either. I think there are lines that shouldn't be crossed even if you don't believe in certain things.

Not saying that you've actually crossed any, but you're coming damn close IMO.

Just my thoughts.

Well I do not mean to offend anyone. Sorry if anyone feels that way. Just found the story interesting. I actually edited it to make it more palatable. I hope anonymous doesn't get upset.

I loved the story...very much!

For God so LOVED the world...

he gave his only begotten son

so that

WHOSOEVER believeth in HIM

SHALL NOT PERISH...

but shall have EVERLASTING LIFE!

My two cents......hmmmmmmmmm........not even one cent worth to share, I am speechless. A light is shone on a belief that is not normally seen. Wow

I was actually referring to someone else's comments Rev. So no offense taken.

Your original story makes a valid point.

Actually that doesnt make since. His will has nothing to do with whether the dogs attack him or not. The dogs don't actually have free will because they dont really reason and make a decision. They act mainly on instinct.

not all dogs act mainly on instinct depending how they were trained or the enviroment they are place in so the insane breeder knew that the dogs was vicious because he create the entire situtation that turned the dogs vicious and then blamed the dogs for being vicious..so the insane breeder being all-knowing about the situtaion decided to send his young son into a vicious situation knowing that the dogs are vicious and would attack the son and during the attack did nothing to intervene

If we're going parallel deities, then not all the 'vicious dogs' attacked, only the ones that didn't have faith in the master.

yes and this faith also cause some of the dogs to do nothing to stop the attack because they had faith that it was all part of the insane breeder's divine plan that his son be attacked

amen.

It was their choice not their faith funches, You should know the feeling.
