I’m saddened by the FReepers on here who are ripping the writer of the article. “Get a dog” blah blah. To these people I say “get a set of priorities”.
Yes, animals are God’s creatures & deserve respect. However, they do not supersede human life which is created in the imagine & likeness of our Almighty Father. Too many people miss that point. No one is telling you not to love & care for your pets. The point is that they’re being elevated to a level above human life which is, quite frankly, sinful.
But what do you expect from a country that legally aborts it’s most innocent & vulnerable?? Just another example of our rot from within.
I read the article. I saw no examples of animals being elevated above humans. She can get her own drink of water. She has that ability. Animals don’t. I’m saddened by those FReepers who think it’s an either/or or that somehow those who love their pets and treat them as family members are somehow weird, warped, don’t have their priorities in order, blah blah blah. Live and let live. This woman’s not hurting. She’s just offended and like so many in our society these days she wants to force others to apologize for not seeing things the way she does and/or change. Won’t happen. Best advice to her: Live and let live, honey — oh, and next time you run a race — bring your own water!
BTW, I see far more examples of idolatry in the way parents treat their children than I do in how they treat their pets. Just sayin’.
I haven’t seen anything in these threads, or anywhere else, that shows animals being elevated to a level above human life. How exactly would that be done? By people loving them and being responsible for their health? By people calling them human names, or feeding them well or buying them toys? None of that looks to me, as elevating them above human life? Are people dying for their pets? Are they having abortions because of their dogs?
