That last question in the text really annoys me.  "Are you not afraid of going to hell?"  Like the guy never even thought of the possibilities that the gay man could either not believe in hell, or believes in it but doesn't think he's going to end up there?  Does he assume that the guy thinks (like someone in a Chick tract) something along the lines of "oh, I'm gonna to go to Hell cus I'm gay, but that's cool"?

"Are you not afraid of going to hell?"

Dearest Unsaved,

I have recently been informed that you will be having an extended stay with us.

I have taken the liberty of making a reservation for You on the terrace of the Caldera Cafe. Your table has a wonderful view of the famed Lake of Fire.

You may have read of the negative reviews by Dante and others. Let me assure You that many change have been made in recent years. The work of literally thousands of engineers and scientist has well as artists and musician have totally transformed Hell. Power generated from the Lake of Fire now provides air conditioning, air purification, and our impressive sound system. Speaking of which we have a long-term contract with Queen for Monday nights (no more of that American football).

Speaking of entertainment, we also have a cultural exchange program with Valhalla on Thor’s day. Boy do those folks know how to party.

On to the menu, I hope Your sin was gluttony. Many quest tell us it is such torment reading the menu, Deviled Eggs, Shrimp Diablo, or Pigs-in-a-Blanket? Margaritas with Kosher salt? Yes, it may be torment to choose, but hey there is always tomorrow.
Bread and wine available on request.

Your obedient Master,
Princes of Darkness

Hey, do they have DVRs in Hell?  If I can record Monday Night Raw to watch later, I'm all good.   :P

Well, you know, slippery slope. If you let the gays adopt cats soon we'll be adopting babies

(side note: apparently the cats never existed in the first place? so uh is the person in question actually homophobic enough that they wouldn't adopt the cats out even if they were real or were they just looking for an excuse to reject him...?)

If "the gays" can adopt cats then soon they will OWN cats. And you know where that leads to... Soon they will be buying catfood. And toys. And posting pictures of their cats online. Then the hurricanes will come. There may be few more steps in between those two things happening but the causality is apparent.

I gotcha, Askold.

The cats will eat the food.  Naturally, this will make the cats poop, which releases methane.  Methane is a greenhouse gas that warms up the planet.  This increases ocean temperatures, making stronger storms more likely and more capable of sustaining themselves for longer.  But wait, I'm not done.  The cat pictures are an obvious drain on the nation's electrical grid, meaning that we're going to need to burn yet more fossil fuels to provide enough electricity to keep the data centers where all the cat pictures lie online.  This also pumps greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, warming the planet even more.  When the methane and CO2 get pumped into the atmosphere and everything starts getting warmer, the hurricanes will come because everything is getting hotter.  All because gays were allowed to adopt cats.

...And if gay men own cats, then they are owning a pussy cat. Pussy. Cat. That is literally one word away from pussy. Which would mean we are one word away from gay men stealing our wives. Yes this makes absolutely no sense...but what if it DID!?!?

Because fags are gross, but it's totally fine and not at all bigoted because my imaginary friend agrees with me. As such, they don't get to have cats because it's what Jesus would've wanted.

You know, as much fun as this is, we lost sight of something. This man was trying to adopt an animal and was turned down because because he's gay, right? I have to say that is very far from the dumbest reason I've seen to get "disqualified" from adopting an animal. For example, working a full time job I've seen do it. I've seen an Irish brogue stop someone (the worker was worried the dog wouldn't understand a different accent). I've seen things as stupid as a zip code, type of vehicle, number of stairs in the house, and age (too young and too old both) all be disqualifying things. I have not seen anyone work so hard as animal rescuers when stopping someone from adopting an animal.

Disclaimer: Many, maybe even most, animal rescuers are good kind hearted people who are doing a thankless job involving working with the worst of humanity. Many, maybe even most are perfectly sane rational people who are doing the best job they can for their charges.

Now that I converted back to Catholicism, I feel that I should comment on this. Barring homosexuals from adopting pets is a good way to blackmail them to stop having homosexual relations and repent of their sins. Only let them adopt the pet if they agree to stop having homosexual relations.

Jesus Christ on a stick. And you wonder why you aren't converting anyone. Have you listened to yourself? Like, really stopped and thought about what you sound like to other people?

Because trust me, to me you sound like a monster.

Don't blame the messenger. I am just preaching what GOD says about homosexual behavior. I am trying to be helpful to homosexuals by proposing a strategy on how to cause them to repent. It is helpful to them because getting them to repent and stop having homosexual relations saves them from damnation.

I don't know if this is still a thing, but Direct Question: Book, chapter, and verse for justification on why you should withhold adopting animals for any reason.

“And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Mark 12:32

Barring homosexuals from adopting pets is an act of love towards them because as I explained, it can be used to save their souls.

We should ban Jacob from owning pets.  Hopefully this will blackmail him into turning gay.  This is an act of love since you have to be gay to go to heaven.

One other thing I want to mention. Blaming the messenger is perfectly okay when your problem is with the messenger, and let me tell you, you are a godawful messenger. You're far more likely to convince committed Christians to give up the faith than for anyone to convert to your reactionary ideas of Christianity. So yes, I'm going to blame the messenger. Because it's not just your message - the delivery is terrible.

What I always suspected of devout Catholics, they're only ever truly happy when they're making someone else not.

They worship at two altars, one to hatred of the world, the other to the "god of control".

Us Catholics are happy when we help save people’s souls. We love homosexuals so we want to save them from the fires of hell which is why barring them from adopting pets is a good idea because it can blackmail them into repenting so that their souls can be saved.

And you honestly think blackmailing people into repenting is a good look? Your optics are terrible let alone the idea of forcing people into accepting your religion on pain of you lot making their lives difficult is despicable.

It is not despicable because while it makes their lives difficult, it can cause them to repent and have a great afterlife.

But Jacob Harrison doesn't "save souls" by converting people to Catholicism, Jacob Harrison further entrenches antipathy towards Catholicism and Christianity in general where it exists via his signature combination of terrible arguments and worse personality-just like those jerks who wouldn't allow the man to adopt a cat. There is overwhelming evidence of this happening on this very board, we can even call it "proof."

Perhaps Jacob Harrison and jerky cat adopters need a new hobby?

No, actually, it does make sense what Jakey-poo says. Remember, he's a practicing catholic. That means faith though guilt and coercion. Really, this is in following with catholic practices. I'm not saying give him a pass. It's a terrible idea and he's still a horrible person for suggesting it. But if you draw water from a catholic well, the water will indeed be tainted.
