Furries & Demons
Sir Walter Scott and the Scottish witches who desired to be animals.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet none of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are numbered.
Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. - Matthew 10:29-31
“If you’re eighteen and you think you are an animal, you have a demonic problem.
If you’re eight and act like you are an animal, your parents have a demonic problem.
Wade Burleson
Furries are children and adults who identify as animals.
“I am a cat. I am a dog. I am a bird. I am a cow. I am a horse. I am an animal.”
Over the past several decades, furries have formed, according to participants, “a growing and inclusive community that offers acceptance, friendship, and the opportunity to express oneself.”
A Growing Problem
In England, as reported by the Herald Sun, kids are crawling on tables in school, meowing in packs, and grooming each other like it’s a feline beauty parlor. Some are even demanding “kitty litter” in the bathrooms.
Nicole James of the Epoch Times describes the furries in public schools worldwide.
“The teachers just let them do their thing….”
A girl perched atop a tree during lunch refused to descend until the principal arrived. Upon alighting, she flapped her arms bird-like, then barked—a furry identity crisis if ever there was one.
The furry hierarchy at their school was dominated by cats, dogs, and, intriguingly, lorikeets.
As I digested this feast of the bizarre, alongside my impeccably baked potato, I found myself marvelling at the ever-evolving teenage expression, a world where the lines between human and animal, reality and fantasy, were not just blurred, but enthusiastically erased.”
What Does This Mean?
The “acceptance” of furries started in the United States public schools, but now even British families are hopping on the bandwagon.
The Sun splashed across its pages that the UK’s “Safer Schools” group was telling teachers and parents to keep their eyes peeled for kids prancing about as furries.
The advice?
“Don’t mock or make a fuss.”
Make a Fuss, I Say
There’s a saying from the Bible worth memorizing:
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
When we were kids, we would play “Cowboys and Indians.” We might even imagine we were “a bear in the forest” or “a lion in the African jungle.”
But we knew who we were.
Identifying as an animal at school would have been a cause for expulsion.
So what has happened in our society?
Demon Possession
Beastliness is not inherent to beasts; it is the character of disturbed humans.
A donkey in a meadow is picturesque and worth painting, but a donkey on two feet is worth pitying.
A bear caged in a zoo is unoffensive morally, but an uncaged bearish man is morally offensive.
It’s not the snake who ought to create fear in humanity but the two-legged man who sees himself as a snake.
The two-legged ape dressed for a night out on the town is beastly, and so is the furry child in school.
Sir Walter Scott and Demonology
If you don’t know about Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), take a moment to research him.
As a Scottish novelist, poet, historian, and biographer often considered both the inventor and the greatest practitioner of the historical novel, Sir Scott was preeminently qualified to write Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft.
He wrote this book to his son-in-law. You can read it for yourself. What Sir Walter Scott said about humans transforming into animals is as relevant in 2024 as in 1830.
Metamorphoses among the witches in Scotland were very common. The animal forms the women took were crows, cows, dogs, cats, and hares (rabbits).
Sir Walter Scott, Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft (free PDF here) wrote:
In the hare shape, a witch named Isobel had a bad adventure.
She had been sent by the devil to Auldearne in that favorite disguise, with some message to her neighbors, but she had the misfortune to meet Peter Papley of Killhill's servants going to labor, having Peter’s hounds with them. The hounds sprung on the disguised witch. The witch Isobel testified, "I run a very long time, but being hard pressed, was forced to take to my own house, the door being open, and there took refuge behind a chest."
But the hounds came in and took the other side of the chest so that Isobel only escaped by getting into another house, and gaining time to say the disenchanting rhyme :
“Hare, hare, God send thee care!
I am in a hare's likeness now;
But I shall be a woman even now
Hare, hare, God send thee care !"
Such accidents, she said, were not uncommon, and the witches were sometimes bitten by the dogs, of which the marks remained after their restoration to human shape.
If you happen to come across this Substack and read it to the end, please know I am not condemning you or your child for wanting to identify as an animal.
I am only helping you understand that human beings are created in the image of God, and the demons of hell want you to think you’re an animal.
Trust your Creator and live.
Live for the Deceiver and perish.
