Are cats for true Christians?

Pretty funny....

The demeanor of a cat is seen by many honest-hearted observers as reflecting some supernatural, unnatural proclivity towards malice or evil. And, it is a well-known fact that cats are impossible to tame, teach or raise in the truth. The cat has a rebellious, independent spirit. While the animal itself may be unaware of this tragic condition, it serves only its true master - Satan, the Devil.

The scriptures clearly indicate that neither Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, faithful Job, the Apostles, Jesus nor any other human bearing God's favor himself owned a cat. Should we simply assume that this is a mere coincidence? Surely not! This was most likely because they didn't want to be like the pagan contemporaries of their respective days who showed no regard for how God feels about owning a cat. In harmony with the pattern set by the faithful prophets and worthies of old, it would therefore not be fitting for the true Christian today to own a cat.

...

Additionally, cats practice many unclean habits not befitting a Christian household: coughing up fur balls, licking inappropriate body areas on their own bodies (inappropriate handling) and even, in some cases, on the bodies of their human owners (wrongful motive?), urination on the floor, vocal and blatant promiscuity (unknown to any other species, all others being endowed with Godly chastity and decorum) and widespread sexual misconduct without the benefit or sanctity of holy matrimony, even orgiastic practices, substance abuse of catnip (an intoxicating herb) which produces conditions akin to drunkenness, stealing food from the table, producing ungodly sounds, excessive playfulness and the employment of devices not known to have been used by Jesus, the conducting of its unholy business under the cover of the darkness of night, and so on. What sort of example does this give our young ones endeavoring to faithfully serve Jehovah? The Bible clearly shows that 'neither fornicators .. nor thieves .. nor drunkards .. nor revilers .. will inherit the Kingdom.' (1 Cor. 6:9-11)

tommyrot, please tell me that's a joke. Oh please.

The fire-safe lockbox is great, Nora, highly recommended. I got mine after my dad had so much trouble replacing his naturalization papers, and it was invaluable whe the hurricane hit.

My mom still has a soc. sec. card with her maiden name on it. She eventually had to change her name with the SSA when the IRS complained after 10 or 20 years of her filing under her married name, but she never bothered to get a new card.

Rocket ships! Cool!

I'm pretty sure it has to be. But I've been unable to get to the home page for that site....

One of my parents' friends is starting a campaign to get his husband on What Not To Wear! I'm super excited, because I love that show! And he needs it. Also good for defying the stereotype that The Gays are well-dressed.

I'm watching 60 Minutes. The guy they based Rain Man on apparently learned to speak Icelandic (well enough to be interviewed in that language) in a WEEK.

Kim Peek, right? He's awesome. His brain is like no other brain, maybe ever.

Daniel Tammet--the British Guy. He's autistic, too, but much less impaired than Kim Peek. I thought there was more than one savant they used for Rain Man--at least they mentioned the movie in this interview.

Edited--

I'm paying more attention, now. He MET Kim Peek and they call him Brainman.

They also at least interviewed Christopher Knowles when they were developing the Rainman characters. (It's mentioned here: [link] .)

msbelle is an awesome mom for making sure mac knows all about rocketships!

t, you reminded me... next step in office plan: get firesafe lockbox.

I was gonna say the same. The filebox I got is just a plastic rubbermaid and I'm thinking I should've gotten the firebox one. Didn't occur to me until later. Birth cert, passports, social security card, insurance and bank stuff...it's all in there.
