"Would Jesus shoot Bambi?" (catholic tastes).This question is earnestly answered in the book Self-Inflicted Hunting Arguments (Rock Dove) by Tom Rakov, founder of the Christian Deer Hunters Association. Rakov's answer requires some context. First of all, Bambi is "by no means an accurate portrayal of any single member of the deer family," keeps his spots too long, doesn't lose his antlers antlers metaphorical decoration for deceived husband.

Bambi even appears to have supernatural powers and can talk. Meanwhile, Jesus, says Rakov, followed the Hebrew scriptures and thus must have been OK with the hunting provisions in Lev lev-, pref See levo-. . 17:13 and the mention of deer as a clean food in Deut. 14:5. He had no qualms about participating in the Passover meal or eating broiled broil 1 v. broiled, broil·ing, broils v.tr. 1. To cook by direct radiant heat, as over a grill or under an electric element. 2. To expose to great heat. v. fish after the Resurrection. In the end, Rakov answers his question in the affirmative: "The authentic Jesus Christ revealed in the Bible would not only shoot a deer, but He would know how to field-dress it in a respectful manner and be willing to eat it." |
