Animal Freaks
Perhaps not the most diplomatic title, but that is what this post is about....Animal Freaks. I am not talking about Animal Lovers, which are people who really love and enjoy animals. I am an Animal Lover. We have an abundance of loved animals in our home...infact, some people probably think we are excessive. Just so you can relate to the amount of Animal Love that infiltrates our home, I will list our critters:
*aquarium of fish
*hamster
*budgie bird
*lop earred holland rabbit
*black & white DSH cat
*orange & white DSH cat
*tabby extra-toed DSH cat
*terrier cross dog
*siberian husky dog
and last but not least...
*a bearded dragon lizard
Suffice it to say, we love animals. To love or enjoy one's animals is not the same as setting them up as idols or valuing them above human life. However, when I am referring to Animal Freaks, I am speaking about those people. You know, the ones that are in your face about abortion being a right...kill your baby with government money, it is your right....BUT don't you dare declaw a cat or have an outdoor dog! It is really that ridiculous. The icing on the cake for me is when I read this article... PETA Targets Churches
The PETA group is targeting all churches who are using live animals in their *Live Nativity* displays. So, they have a problem with a sheep, cow or mule actually standing in a display with humans. So, so cruel. Imagine, an animal...forced to stand, stand infront of humans, to stand *with* humans....how dare they?! Get REAL!! Oh my goodness, it is so absurd that it just sickens me. These people are so warped in their thinking. Animals should be treated with respect and care. They should not be abused or hurt in any way. However, they are animals. They are quite able to stand in a display, chewing on some hay and be very comfortable. Whether they are standing in their own stall or in the display...they are standing. Guess what? The humans who are participating are standing there too!! Wow. Maybe someone should call the authorities on them....no, wait...they are just human. They can take it, but not the fur bearing animals!!!
I better stop now. I am aghast at the lack of logic of these people. The way they put animals on pedastils and devalue human life. If all the misdirected time and energy they put into these petty issues were re-directed to taking care of humanity, they would be better off. However, I should not be shocked because this is what should be expected from people who have made animals their god. Just like Romans 1:21-23 says:
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
