JERRY
Carl plays sheep by doting on the words of evangelists instead of
studying his own bible and coming to his own conclusions. Perhaps
Carl isn't smart enough to figure out the text or perhaps Carl has
self-image problems that cause him not to trust his own readings.
Nevertheless, by putting all his faith in the words of other men, Carl
plays sheep.
Carl play shepherd by trying to use those words to guide other people
in the way that Carl wants them to go. Carl hasn't the words or the
knowledge of the text to use himself, so he simply copies and pastes
the opinions of people who are no smarter than he is. Nevertheless,
by posting the words of these other people as guides, Carl plays
shepherd.
Carl plays wolf by attacking those with whom he disagrees, even when
he's not attacked. He behaves aggressively in defending his doggie
turf and calls those with whom he disagrees fools, heretics, liars,
even though he is unable to show from the text where someone lies,
where someone is a heretic (other than having the temerity to disagree
with him) and how they are a fool even when the text sup****ts his
opponent and not him. Nevertheless, by attacking mindlessly when
disagreed with, Carl plays wolf.
Seems I am once again correct, Carl. You are not. Which one of us is
the fool again?
