This Isn't Good For Bumper

J.R. asks, "Are cats for true Christians?"

"Since cats were associated with the devil, could we as faithful and dedicated servants of God therefore contaminate ourselves by exposure to a 'living symbol' of satanic incarnation? How would this reflect on God's name and that of his visible, earthly organization? Would we want to be linked with a symbol of Satan, the 'god of this beastly system of things'?"

I'd have to answer with an emphatic "no!" Unless J.R. meant the question in a rhetorical fashion. In which case I’m sure J.R. already knows my answer.

"While the animal itself may be unaware of this tragic condition, it serves only its true master - Satan, the Devil."

Oh, my. That sounds very bad. I guess will have to get rid of Bumper. I hope the kids understand. By getting rid of their beloved pet I'm just looking out for their eternal soul.
