My cat, Mischief, loved the sun and the Son. He would bask in the sun every day...and when ever I prayed, no matter where I was in my house, Michief would come into the room in which I prayed and stare up towards the ceiling and purr. He and the Holy Spirit inspired a poem regarding that.

The name of the cat makes me think that this idiot is a troll. Anyway, if you´re unable to understand that animals are not, and can´t be, religious, you have a serious problem(or you´re pulling these guys' legs)
As a cat owner, and recognizing that this entry being in the past tense implies the cat is dead, I can't be offended. Especially since it implies cats can go to Heaven.
This is the sort of faith I like.
Now if they'd added, "Pity he didn't have a soul", then there would be trouble.
Like others have said, I don't mind stuff like this. Sure, it's a little loopy, but, y'know, so are cats.

Eh, so what? All cats I've ever known like to bask in the sun. And my cat follows me just about everywhere - including into the room where I attend to personal hygiene and the elimination of bodily waste and into the rooms where I engage in acts of "fornication" and he invaribly stares upward and purrs as well. And, I have it on good authority that he's an atheist!
I am glad most of you got some enjoyment out of my cat story. Maybe someday you will find the Lord and realize how much He loves you also. Thank you for calling me a nut...people called Jesus a nut when He was alive also. And for those like Darth, I will pray for you because you have a serious anger issue going on...
God bless you all!
My cat occasionally darts around the house and rolls around on the floor for no apparent reason. Well, there is one reason. She's a cat, and as a catowner too, gentlefriend should realize they make no sense.
My cat often purrs while looking down at the floor. Satanic cat. Drown it in holy water.
Thank you burnt bush...I am honored to be compared with God's Son as a nut...
I will leave you with this..
My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. They will have eternal life and never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father who is greater than all has given them to me and no one will snatch them out of His hand. My Father and I are one." Matt 10:27-30
I have owned cats for 20 years, I am well aware of their habits...but I would be praying downstairs quietly when my cat would come and stare and purr..Why didn't he come downstairs when I opened a can of tuna....how little faith this group has...and I will continue to still pray for most of you...also thank you for posting my story...some people my read it and believe...God can take evil and make it for good...So thank you Jesus and may your Name be praised!
Jesus be praised!
I read this again, and it kind of makes me sad. People like this, who are good at heart are the most susceptible to the evil teachings of the fundies. I will admit that it has been hard for me to look at something, such as the antics of our pets, and not thought that it would be easy to believe that an intelligent being had to have something to do with creating them. The big problem is that good people like this are just prey to the evil that christianity has become. I just feel sad for "Truth". She/He is destined to remain a victim.
My cat enjoyed the Beastie Boys and caramel. You see, animals enjoy a lot of the things that people do. Plus, if they are your animal, they tend to like to hang out and watch what you are doing. Especially if you sit around by yourself and talk. The cat realizes that you are talking to the aether, and it wonders why.
Truth is only going to pray for MOST of us. What's the matter? Aren't you supposed to love the sinner or something? How come some of us are off the radar? Just like your god, you only have as much love as feel like, not the endless well of love that you claim.
Of course, your praying will do nothing anyway. And of course, I had a retarded cat once too, he stared at weird shit all of the time. Was mine a holy cat or a devil cat? Answer? He was just a fucking cool-assed cat. He was quirky like everyone is. End of story. Some of you people would see a miracle in your milk turn chocolatey because you poured it over Cocoa Puffs.
My cat would lounge under my girlfriend's altar during her Pagan rituals. He knew she was concentrating on something besides him, and so he wanted to be part of it. It doesn't mean my cat worships Athena. Or does it??
*waits for Truth-troll to pop up again*
By the way, Truth, Jesus wasn't referred to as a 'nut.' Even if he was, it's probably because there were a dozen other guys also claiming to be the Messiah in that point in history.
Incidentally, most Christian sects believe that animals don't have souls. How do you fit such a pagan belief into your fundamentalism?
I said I would pray for most because there are some in here that I can see the seed of faith in their hearts. But don't worry Red hunter..you are definately on my prayer list....As for animals having souls...animals do not need souls, they do not have free will. Animals do not need a Savior. Man is the one with free will that needs a Savior, who is Jesus. Regardless of whether you want to believe it or not, someday you will bow in the prescence of Him and I pray that you will have met Him before then. You are very important and loved by Him, whether you choose to love Him or not. And you are not hopeless until your last breath is gone..so even if it is on your death bed, you can still come to Him.
As for calling me a troll? Who is the troll. Someone at your website took what I wrote and mocked it..You invited me here thru that. I am not hiding my prescence but am coming to exactly as I am...I thought a troll was a person hiding their identity? I am a Christian, and a child of God. I have sent your website to others on Rapture ready, so hopefully you can meet and debate them also!
God bless you all!
Your cat is an heliocentricist.
I'm gonna have to do something about that!
Posts like this make me smile, and then they make me a little sad. They're childlike in a way, and I know that adjective will probably make gentlefriend/Truth's week (because "faith like a child" is heavily advocated by Jesus), but it's also sort of sad, like an adult that still believes in Santa Claus...and can vote...and persecutes whoever Santa tells her to...
But it's hard not to like someone who has a cat named Mischief and writes cat poetry.
Merry Christmas, gentlefriend/Truth and Mischief. :-)

A MESSAGE FOR THE USER NAMED TRUTH
Who says cats don't have free will? I wouldn't have to constantly yell at my kitten Artemis to stop breaking ornaments off my Yule tree if he didn't have the free will to keep hopping up there and doing it anyway because he likes testing the laws of gravity by knocking things off high places and watching them shatter.
And I named my kitten Artemis after the moon goddess because he is a Cancer- astrological sign of the moon- and is very 'mothering'- he always licks me clean before he falls asleep, cuddles up to me when I cry, and whenever I'm gone for long periods of time meows at me in a angry fashion for like 20 minutes at a time and follows me around constantly. Those are moon traits.
My kitten likes to watch me read tarot cards and never touches my altar even though there are plenty of shiny interesting objects on it. He also likes to watch me play video games.
So my kitten is Wiccan, and yours is Christian. Yay for religious diversity in cats!
I can't really not like someone that likes cats- I just find it a shame that you can't open your mind a little bit to the rest of the world. We're not all evil, we promise. My religions just as valuable as yours, and both when applied correctly teach values of peace and love. So, Truth, let's be friends! *holds out hand*
I hate the arrogant presumption of someone who tells me they'll "pray for" me. My Catholic grandmother prayed for me until the day she died. Didn't do me (or her) any good.
So go ahead, "Truth" (what a joke of a name). Pray all you want. All you're really doing is flaunting your alleged moral superiority and stroking your own ego. I prefer honest hate over this sickeningly sweet, fake-loving "I'll pray for you". All that says to me is "See how much better of a person I am than you!"
I'll never bow to your zombie god, and no force in the universe can make me.
(Yes, I know the fundie's long gone. I just wanted to vent.)
He and the Holy Spirit inspired a poem regarding that.
I read all through this sappy saccharine mumbo jumbo. I, too, am a cat lover and enjoy their antics. But I am most grateful to the powers that be that the poem was not included here.
There is a Zeus!
When I'm sad (or paying the monthly bills), my cat comes to me and seems to want to comfort me. Perhaps Mischief thought you were sad and wanted to comfort you? Or, as you were talking to imaginary beings, he took it for granted that you talked to him.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
