Though the livestock typically prefers to lazily agree with the meaning given by the "shepherd," "pastor," or "priest" who guards over the herd, keeping watch out for the Devil, or people like us.
If we all interpret the bible the same, like a rule book, you call us sheep. If we think and interpret the bible as thinking individuals that means we can't get it together, and that means it's all wrong. The truth is God wants us to follow him, but to think and decide that for ourselves. I've decided on my own to follow him and you've decided not to. That's the way he made us. Sorry that I think for myself, not necessarily as the rest of the world thinks I should.
