Hey city boys their rabbits, I recognized them as soon as I saw the picture. They're harmless unless you happen to be made of grass.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Uh, rabbits do bite, and those buck toothed incisors are not there for show.

I've never heard of rabbits biting people. I guess it could happen, though. Of course if these are babies, they're probably less likely to bite.

Trust me, it doesn't have to have rabies. If you corner a non-domesticated rabbit or otherwise make it feel threatened without a satisfactory retreat, it will certainly scratch and bite. It has a very powerful bite too, and will not just make a pair of holes in your skin but take a sizeable chunk right out of your hand.

I know.

Rabbits will scratch the shit out of you if they get scared. Their claws aren't sharp like a cats, but they'll make you drop them.

Looking at the picture again, it appears as if this rodent has a tail much longer than a rabbit's. I'm not sure GC is right.

ETA: Well, maybe that's a leg and not a tail. And I guess GC is probably enough of a redneck to know.

Bah ha ha. I'm a mountain redneck and I guarantee that there's a rabbits foot. I've seen a lot of dismembered rabbits feet, so I'd know. But I do agree with Chuck here, they're DANGEROUS! They're gonna get you and your whole family if you don't stop them soon and they're breeding right beneath your guys' feet into a formidable army of incising teeth and dog-sharp claws! With squeals that will put chills right down your back if you ever have the misfortune of encountering one of these creatures in the open with no possible hole, cave, or shrubbery for the monster to run and hide in which is its' first nature to do. The babies are the most dangerous of all--if you catch them, they just stop breathing. I suspect they come back to life at night..
Plus, we all know what happened to these guys:

So go get thee a holy hand grenade (regular hand grenades do not work on such creatures).
I'm sure Godschilds people can help you with that..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I have been scratched by a rabbit. I had one sitting on my bare arm, and he decided to try to run.

Actually I'm not sure I've handled completely wild rabbits. There was that one time I caught a baby rabbit trying to escape my lawnmower by climbing the house wall, but that's it. The rest weren't pets, but they did have some human contact.
