CONTENTED COWS

   When cows hear the bells, they return to the barn at sunset to be fed.  Their master pours the feed and they eat.  They do not feed themselves.  While they are eating, they surrender their milk because they are contented cows.  For their obedience, they remain in the barn until daylight.
   Tomorrow, they will return as soon as they hear the bells because their minds have been conditioned to respond to the bells.
   When people of religion hear the bells, they return to their houses of religion to be fed.  Their masters pour the feed and they eat.  They do not feed themselves.  While they are eating, they surrender their will because they are like contented cows.  For their obedience, they are rewarded with a sip of juice and a wafer.
   Tomorrow, they will return as soon as they hear the bells because their minds have been conditioned to respond to the bells.   
   How many people have been in churches all of their lives, yet they have never opened a Bible?
   To them, is Christ no more than a stranger?  To them, is Christ no more than an image of an idol, or perhaps an alien who came to earth and returned to the heavens?  Or is Christ no more than a ceramic Jesus under a Christmas tree, or a religious relic dangling on a necklace as a good luck charm? 
   To them, do they honestly believe that Christ is alive and living?
       But if this gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4)
