A church's parishioners or congregation are referred to as a flock because Jesus repeatedly told his disciples they were "shepherds of men" and to "mind his flock". In many parables in The Bible, as well as in Psalms, Jesus' followers were referred to as sheep.
On the negative side:
- sheep have no individuality nad ae known as the collective term "flock"
- sheep mindlessly follow the shepherd into the slaughter house
- shepherds are nice to sheep until it is time to kil and eat them
- shepherds routinely take the young of the sheep for food and hides
