Cats and Christians

Cats are natural carnivores. They are designed in nature to eat rats, birds, snakes and things like grasshoppers. We had a professor in Veterinary school who said the best diet for a cat would be to put a bunch of rats in the food processor and feed that mix… muscles, bones, intestinal contents, skin and fur.

We see a lot of cats with metabolic conditions… obesity, pancreatitis, diabetes and urinary crystal formation. All this conditions are cause by feeding un-natural cat foods. Usually dry foods with grain based carbohydrates.

So why would we feed and un-natural diet verses a natural one? Because dry cat foods are cheap and most cats do okay on them. Emphasis on “cheap”

Christians have a lot of spiritual ailments caused by eating a diet of man made and smooth and popular and polarizing doctrines instead of those simple and understandable doctrines shared by God for his people.

I’ve never seen a “barn” cat who suffers from obesity and all the metabolic issues that I see in “house” cats. They have different diets… one is healthy and natural and the other is unhealthy. I make my living on unhealthy pets and business is good.

Maybe if we are having moral and spiritual problems in our lives the problem is what we are “eating”

If you went to a diet center and no one ever lost weight but stayed obese you would look for help in another direction wouldn’t you?

Similarly, if you visit a church and no one has been married very long and the children are out of control or the prayers are shallow and the singing is on life support or the preacher never quotes the Bible…

Maybe just maybe you should keep on looking.
