2) Therefore all discretionary spending is, i agree, questionable. I am sure there must be some reasonable cut off some place. Like a warm home and decently good food. But such luxury as pet surgical services for senior citizen cats and Flames season tickets? I don't know....
3) I am mostly curious how you can reconcile one with the other. To just say that one is not a very dedicated or good christian is cool (i mean, what do i care?!) but to think that both are compatible seems pretty silly to me.

For #3 you were the one judging types of discretionary income, but for what it's worth, spending money on a living thing is more admirable than hockey tickets, but I'm easy, whatever people want to do with their own money is not my business.
And for #1 and #2, I don't really know, I'm not Christian. I do wonder though that if there is the god and he asks me about why I spent money on flames tickets I'd probably ask that since his resources are far greater than mine, why doesn't he fix world hunger?
