cannibals and the bible

So, i heard a horrifically funny story yesterday.

Someone I know had a pastor once who just loved and lived by the verse Micah 6:8... you know the one that says:

"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice,
love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?"

Well, this pastor decides to get the type of license plate on her car that you can chose a letter/number combo and placed her first choice as MICAH68 and then her NAME1 and her NAME2 as the 2nd and 3rd choices. Unfortunately, she did not mark the box that said "Do not change the numbers to random choices if these options are not available."

So she ended up with a license plate with random (or perhaps not so random?)numbers chosen which said MICAH33. Not knowing what that verse said, she immediately went home to check it out. This is what passage Micah 3:3 says:

"Who eat the flesh of my people, flay their skin off them,
break their bones into pieces, and chop them up
like meat in a kettle, like flesh in a cauldron."

To top it all off, this pastor is a vegetarian.

wow! talk about a lesson in the mixed messages of the bible.
