You are saying you are christian while you are acting like a typical faithless consumer. Actions speak louder the words, and in this case those actions are certainly not very christ-like. (Although how many behaviors of the first world citizen really are?)
I am not worried about being judged for my actions so my own spending is meaningless in the debate.

Ah, the typical shifting of position, all the while blaming others for not reading what you REALLY said. First of all, this quote is different than what you said earlier, but not matter, both are ... again in your word, ######ed.
So spending money on Cat while others are hungary is anti - christian, and is clearly disgusting to you?
Is spending money on flames tickets while others are hungary any less chritian or disgusting to you? If so why? At they very least spending money on the dogs is helping a life (albeit not a very important one to you)
I guess all flames ... well really sports fans and anyone else that has an extra dollar in their pocket is going to hell right?
You know most people on here who post and I disagree with I at least respect their position as a 'possible'. I think Lanny and Looger are nuts with their 9/11 beliefs but at the very least their views are at some level plausable and require rational thought.
Your little string of insight here is the first that I can remember where someone is just off their rocker. You are are discriminating against views towards anaimals, which although heartless is fine as a view, but to say that this type of discretionary spending is somehow worse than other kinds of discretionary spending is just rediculous.
