I am only speaking from the perspective of a Christian.

You may speak from any other perspective you wish.

That's a massive dose of false advertising. Lack of compassion is not a Christian trait.

I am only speaking from the perspective of a Christian.

I was raised a Roman Catholic. You know -- the original Christians. I reject such thinking out of hand. It's nonsense. Again, we can do both. It is not a matter of one or the other.

Geraldo Riviera helped rescue an elderly woman who had stayed behind in New Orleans rather than leave her beloved 15 1/2 year old dog. Geraldo and the team of rescuers with him took the old woman and the dog. Later he looked her up at the airport. The little dog was still with her. Someone had given her a little bowl of water for the dog, and all was well in her world even though she no longer had a home.

When a pet is all you have left in the world, that pet is a treasure beyond price to you. I simply do not believe the merciful Lord in whom I believe expects otherwise.

Your version of Christianity is hard, cold and heartless.

What it boils down too...Disaster strikes...No food, no clean water, no electricity, no authority, dangerous looters have taken over the city. You don't know where, when or how help will arrive. You have kids or family. Your starving, your family and kids are starving...Mittens and Rover are waiting for the can opener sound... what are going to put in the pot to prevent your kids, yourself and your family from starving? Your left foot?
