The original verse is Duet 22:10 and it's a prohibition against abusing a working animal.
I wasn't aware of the later Christian tradition of interpreting it as a metaphor for nonbelivers. Thanks for sharing it.
Everything on the Bible can be used as a metaphor pro or against something.
That's because it's chock full absolutes and ambiguity every time you turn a page.
