I always wondered about this..
witnessing and undershepherding? Doesn't that imply.. that one considers PEOPLE as mindless SHEEP that need some form of "herding"?
The general idea I got from this was..
People are supposedly like sheep. Mindless.. not "stupid", but mindless. They need *our* "services". Otherwise, they are headed to dangers unimaginable, which they cannot possibly imagine. An enemy, that they cannot see.
They need special *protection* from da *enemy*. Such as wolves.. jackals, other animals that prey on non-carnivorous creatures..
but isn't that a trait that is exhibited by a domesticated animal? Stalled, fattened and protected from wild animals.. to end up on the dinner table?
so people are in general are supposed to be mindless, domesticated brutes, destined to be fodder at the tables of devils, etc. etc?
is that what loy thought when he described "unbelievers" as "empties" floating by in the river of life?
too many questions..
