I worked on a hill farm when I was younger, I herded sheep. It’s not an honourable profession and it says a lot for Christianity that it claims their Godhead is a shepherd.

Professions aren’t honourable, they just “are.”

I do find it strange that Christians throughout history have referred to the so-called Body of Christ as sheep and Jesus as a shepherd (along with the requisite paintings of Jesus holding a lamb), refer to Jesus himself as the Lamb of God, but at the same time conservative Christians refer to the people who don’t agree with them as “sheep” and people who have left Christianity or never were Christians as “lost sheep.”

I have lamb in my freezer right now. I guess that makes me a heretic (wait, Christians eat lamb as well).
