Cats are not evil.

Ok, to start off, prove God created everything. Prove it wasn't the aliens that did it. Prove there is a God." There is no proof of God, but as a Christian, I believe in God, I know, my opponent is a Christian as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Secondly, if you believe in God as Christians know him, you must also believe in Satan. Satan was an angel in heaven at one point in time; God created him and allows for his existence. In other words, God created evil. God also created the fruit which banished Adam and Eve. Was that not also evil?" Yes I believe in Satan, however, if you read my previous debate you will see, I clearly don't believe Satan, was created by God, but by man. Yes God created the fruit. The fruit was not evil, man was evil, man went against God thus creating evil. If you read my other debate you will see this as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Secondly, God as Christians know him does not believe in killing people or things merely for the sake of killing them. One of the 10 commandments is "thou shall not kill", mainly referring to humans. Additionally, God has killed many things he did not approve of, such as all first born Egyptians. Additionally, God allows evil to exist because he wants us to choose him over evil. Hence, evil is necessary to establish what is good and righteous." Yes God does not approve of killing things for fun, yet is hunting/fishing not a sport played by man? All you are proving is how evil WE are, and I think everyone can agree we are, and you are doing a very good job pointing this out. ‘Thou shall not kill' yet how many murders are there? Although I can see you are saying that cats are evil because they kill, they aren't the only animals that kill, wolves, owls, other birds, arachnids, the list goes on to all carnivore/omnivore, animal groups, including humans. Thus cats are not more evil than anything else on this earth. Yes God killed what he did not approve of, thus if he did not approve of felines he would kill them, however he did not disprove of the firstborns of Egypt, he merely disproved of pharaoh, who refused to listen, so he punished Egypt. God allows evil, because he gives man chose to either obey, him, or go to hell. Ultimately, it cannot be evil, UNLESS, it knows good, and chooses not to. Yes evil is necessary, but as we have clearly pointed out, man is plenty evil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Next, Cats spread disease. Their poor hygiene and cleaning methods make it impossible for them not to spread disease. They use their tongue to wipe everything all over their body. And then people have the audacity to pet them. EEEWWWWWWW!!!!" My response: Fine cats may have poor hygiene methods, but if we are so clean, why can't we bathe them??? It's a simple thing to do: Run a luke-warm shower-bathe mix, spray the cat down, put some soap on him/her rub and scratch in gently. Rinse the cat off, towel dry and/or blow dry. Viola, clean cat. It is just like bathing a dog, and you had no problem with doing that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Cats cause billions of people around the world misery by having sharp claws and people with allergies. Cat scratches are extremely painful. Allergies to cats cause people undue suffering that other pets do not cause, nor to the same extremities." I know this is way off topic, but my opponent has brought it up, so I will refute it. I am unable to find a case where someonr has died because of being scratched. Dogs unvoluntarily scratch more than cats because felines have retractable claws, and K9's do not. Link for how many people due to dog bites: http://www.hsus.org... The worst I can find about cat scratches: http://www.dhpe.org... "Finally, cats are self and self centered and cannot care for humans beyond their own needs and wants. Cats will only be nice to humans when they want petted or food. Nor will they ever do tricks or anything else unless it's what they want to do. This does not make them smart, just selfish. Does that not sound like something with evil intentions? " Have you ever thought about how self centered any animal on the planet is? All any animal does is find food, mate, depending on type of animal, may or may not care for the young. Then the animal dies. Animals don't care about humans, thus as a majority, humanity thinks they would be selfish.. I know from experience, cats are normally nice, and love being on peoples laps. Derail, my pet Siamese, kitten, will jump in your lap at any time. She was a barn cat, and although she loves real food, she will come in your lap anytime you sit and will follow you around. But like a small child can get distracted by some string, or anything that moves on the ground. According to your statement, an animal must do tricks, or it is evil. So fish are evil, but captured whales aren't. Or you could be saying anything that is lazy is evil.. Cats do not know the difference between good and bad, therefore cannot be evil. Also, just because your username is Im_always_right, does not equal "I am always correct". In fact, I will contend that it means one of two things, possibly both. Since there is no apostrophe in your spelling of Im, I am forced to assume that this means that someone by the name of "Im" is always right, not "I am". The other possibility is that you are always right, as in opposite of left. What it could be suggesting is that "Im" is always opposite of left." Ladies and Gentlemen, my opponent had no good case so he spent a whole paragraph, devoted to talking about irrelevant information. Thank you, now I will let my opponent have his turn.
