Let's all Become Catists!
I stand informed that some people in China have a statue of whatever deity near their front door. When they come home at night, the look at that statue and think that the deity feels good about them personally. Whatever.
Well, I have a cat. When I come home, kitty goes out of his way to express how he feels about me. He also wants to be fed but that is not a worship thing. Even so, do you think that some statue is better than a kitty?
Here is what you need to do:
Get a kitten. Love the heck out of it. Rub it and stroke it.
Get king sized pillows. No promises here but if kitty demands the real estate, you will need the huge pillows.
Past that, just do whatever the kitty demands.
Can you tell me that that is better than any other thing?
Never ever did I say enything about free, I said "free."

We Calvinists get to pull the kittens head off, and still not spoil our chances of getting into heaven. The fountain of blood ruins the pillow, but what is a pillow compared to heaven? Cats are liberal atheists that are going to burn in hell anyway, so we are only helping with god's plan.

So you say.
Cats are into heavy metal, Blues and Classical music. All great and catists can choose from time to time.
You calvinists, well you don't have any choices. Even if the concept of free will existed in your world view, it certainly would not matter.

..."what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it. "CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE."
My cat know what the square root of two is. He won't tell me but I am sure that he knows.

I have dogs. Does that make me an infidel?
No. But you are a potential heretic.
It has been scientifically proved that cats are better than dogs. Even so, do your dogs hate 70's prog rock?
If not then you can join my faith. However, you will do so under the same deal as Episcopalians claiming to be Anglicans.
Do your dogs curl up in bed with you? Do you wake up to find that your hand is enmeshed in tummy fur?

My dogs curl up on the bed with me when I let them. I usually wake up to doggy kisses from the little one then. And the two of them together can pull a sled, me, and 500 or so pounds of cargo around without even getting winded for as long as I care to stay outside.

And yet you need your dogs to do stuff.
Cats only have to be feline and they are good to go.
Even so, you are a Calvinist. Nothing matters to you.

I'm trying to imagine a team of Himalayans pulling me to the airstrip to pick up mail & groceries.

I like 70's prog rock. Does that help?

Groceries < tummy love.
If that is where you are at, then shoot a damned bear and feed that to your cats.

I lost the stomach for hunting when I became an atheist.

Of course, I cheated
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
Kap, cheat harder. I suggest that you start by reading whatever page you googled to get that.

I've been a Catist for quite a long time. Cats are cool animals. I like everything from domestic cats to smilodon populator.
The "page" is nothing other than calc.exe, which I "googled" from start menu -> accessories

I will keep to my dog, loyal, warm, works as hard as I do (ok when he was young, at 13 now and arthritis in the rear legs.....yeah can't haul the Christmas tree, my daughter on a sled, or the groceries) and of course is always there to greet me in the mornings or evenings when I come home, that and he keeps me fit my having to walk him around the neighborhood, which I know of no cat people that walk their cats in my neighborhood, which also has allowed me to know my very cute neighbors
