Sacrifice, a central tenet of Judaism and Christianity, is implicitly violent. A young bullock is killed, its throat slit, its blood drained. The animal struggles until its death-throes cease. Its blood, a source of purification, is sprinkled on the altar. The violence continues as the animal is flayed, quartered, and burnt. Barbecues for a demanding God who seems (according to the Tanakh) to relish blood sacrifices and burnt offerings.

I think it was about two thousand pigs that died.
Poor innocent pigs, what did they ever do to deserve this?
A bit like all the innocent animals that God killed when he selected just a few to go travelling on the Ark.
But hey, this IS a "God of love" isn't it? Perhaps animals don't count?
Try telling that to my two German Shepherds.

A great herd it says. But the Demon calls himself Legion because there were many of them.
