I live out in the country and although we don't live on a farm we have many farms surrounding us. Today we went to a county fair and had a good time petting all the animals belonging to the 4-H kids.
I've often heard people exclaiming out those who aren't Christian are nicer people than Christians.
Today as we wandered the barns and got to get close to the animals, guess which ones were friendlier between the sheep and the goats? The Goats! The goats were far nicer and wanted to be petted. The sheep were wary of strangers as they should be because they listen to their master's voice.
So this got me thinking about the statement that people make that nonbelievers are nicer and goats in the bible represent those who are nonbelievers. Another thing to remember about sheep and goats is that if you turn your back on a goat you might just get butted!
