Hard to say...but I do not respect those that are not loyal to family or their own species for that matter... "My can loves me" Yah sure...so does your husband till you cut him off sex.
You're pathetic if you really expect me to be loyal to a stranger.

Maybe they're tired of people like you judging them all the time for silly nonsense.

Why do you care who loves who or what?
People can love whomever, whatever they do.

There's not enough love in the world, why would criticize anyone who finds it anywhere?

You are one screwed up man.
But of course, princess. What does one have to do with another?
In interent reality being Christians means that you never went to a strip club or or had a threesome.
In real life however it's not that unusual. I am Christian but it does not mean that I spent my life in a monastery or go to church every day.
Now, go back to perfect Internet reality of C-D, filled with perfect people.

There's a few pics of the dog on its own.

I've also heard a few people talk about their "kids" - and they're referring to dogs!

What do you guys think? I've always placed humans above animals...
Do I think it's strange to have photos of your pets up? Not at all.
Would I throw my dogs or cats a birthday party? Um..no.
Would I dress them? The ONLY thing I put on my dogs is booties IF we are going to go hiking in the winter...the ice and crap can really hurt their feet. Out in the backyard running around in the snow? No booties.
Do I get fulfillment from my pets? Of course.
Do I call them my kids? Well, not really. Every so often I make a joke about the "fur kids" thing and say that but honestly, that feels weird to me. They aren't my kids...I may say, "Ok, kids, time to eat" but I don't think of them as actual kids. (And usually what I say is, "Let's go idiots! Back inside!" The way I say it, they love it when I call them, "idiots".)

I have never thought of my pets as actual kids. That's ridiculous. But would I have a photo on my desk, (if I had a desk), or in my wallet? Sure, why not. Who cares.

The point of mentioning it is that you were chastising people for buying certain kinds of dog food for their dogs while you spend your money on strippers, which is basically a form of prostitution. What do you think your Jesus would say or do? Do you think he would take issue with people caring for animals, his animals according to the bible, being good stewards on this planet as your God would want, or you attacking good acts while you buy sex? I'm pretty sure there's a famous story in the Bible about Christ going to temple and dealing with people just like you. The hypocrites who charge and throw stones.

You have absolutely no room to judge anybody for loving animals. Its absurd. And lets get real, prostitution, buying/selling sex is not virtuous and your religion demands of virtue. So, instead of worrying about what good people are doing, or as Christ would say the spec in the eye of others, and concern yourself with the log in your eye.

After all they lick their own genitalia. We can't do that.
You do realize that humans do the same with each other and not just the genitals, right.

Nah. Stripping is not a form of prostitution. At least in moral and legal definitions.

I am not the hypocryte, quite the opposite, I am a Christian but do not pretend to be a saint. The last time I was in a strip club was about 5 years ago, by the way

I have a "room" to reply to a topic on C-D, though? Don't I?

I love dogs, German sheppards to be exact the most but I would never forget that a dog is an animal or pretend that a dog is my friend or child or any of that nonsense. It's an animal. It can't be anybody's friend.
You can't assign human concepts and feelings to animals, that's outright crazy idea.
