I forgot to tell you: the cow and the human were anesthetized - unconscious.

I forgot to tell you: the cow and the human were anesthetized - unconscious...

Convenient, why not just dead? Same thing. I wouldn't want to be in their predicament.

[James C. Bennett]

Basically you see the OT in a view that relegates it to a collection of metaphors. Jonah didn't really dwell in the belly of a fish and God / Jesus didn't order the slaughter of the Amalekite infants, in spite of what the OT says, in plain words.

I forgot to tell you: the cow and the human were anesthetized - unconscious.

Would a human being following the Golden Rule want another to have the weight be dropped unto him, when the places are switched? Do not do unto others what you don't want done unto you.

"Here certainly is the golden maxim: Do not do to others that which we do not want them to do to us."

- Confucius

 "Is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one's life?" The Master said, "Is not RECIPROCITY such a word?^"

- Zi Gong, Confucius, Analects XV.24 (tr. Chinese Text Project)

"Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."

- Confucius, Analects XV.24
