Hehe, here I am, didn't have time to post earlier in here today
Well, re-your earlier post, I can't say that I follow your reasoning 100%, but hey it's your life.
I'd surely be one of those to cast a quizzing glance if after a sporting event, one of my fellow athletes were to roll up a cigarette straight afterwards, hehe.
Ah well, the fact that you're not going to keep on replying is sure to break my heart
Keep on the happy wallowing in your superstitions and ignorance
As for agreeing with sample about bigotry, just check the thread and see who was the first to start asking people if they have a brain or not. As always religious nuts take the crown of hypocrisy hands down
The fact that current technology doesn't permit it yet, does not mean that future developments won't make that possible. As I've alraeady told you in a previous post, just consider the medical advances made in the last 100 years. Most common day cures would have been considered miraculous just a century ago.
The fact that a cell is complicated does not mean that there's a supernatural entity.
Yes I can agree with you here. It's actual standard practice in most militaries when fighting in a jungle environment.
Again I can agree with you here. I'd say washing ANY food well before cooking it is a must these days.
Yes my paternal grandfather died of cancer, but then he was a chainsmoker for most of his life.
May I ask you a question, and please don't take this as a personal attack, but just mere curiosity on my part. As regards food you strike me as being health conscious, yet you're a smoker. Don't you see a contradiction there? Again, I'm not attacking you, just confused by these 2 different aspects of your character.
Why don't you start yourself by making your brain work? All the things I told you about islam are true, just check out the facts yourself. If you're blind to FACTS you're free to continue wallowing in your own ignorance.
Well there's a whole lot of civilizations that would put a counter to your statement there.
Hey, I think I've made it totally clear in this and other threads that I'm for BALANCED & HEALTHY diets. Both being a total carnivore and a total vegetarian are extremes, and thus not healthy.
I've never said that all animals raised for food are raised to appropriate standards. Don't put words into my mouth that I haven't said please.
How do I come as a zealot pray? All I've stated is that in order to be healthy, we need a balanced diet, as opposed to fad-istic diets that are cropping up nowadays. We need proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins etc, going for a single type of food will leave you a lack in any of these, since no food can cover all nutritional contents.
You're perfectly free to disagree with my views, but then I'm not the one who thinks killing an animal for food is murder.
I would probably feel queasy seeing the process, at least the first couple of times. As with any scene of slaughter, the more one is exposed to it, the more one is desentisized after all.
Ever seen a morgue attendant eating sandwiches with no problem at all. You and I probably wouldn't be able to do it, at least until some time had passed in that environment.
As always you win the hypocrisy crown hands down mate. Then again, what do you expect from someone who in another thread openly admitted to living life according to the rule 'let others call you coward, cowards live, heroes die' eh?
I notice none of you christians answered my question re-what faithfullness said, that prior to adam sinning, all animals were vegetarians.
If what faithfulness said is true, why did the animals that later turned carnivorous were created with MEAT SHEARING FANGS AND CLAWS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Question number 2, can you explain just how adam munching an apple screw up your god's 'perfect' plan of creation in such a way?
I'm really curiuos to see what the religiuos nuts in here will come up with to answer that. Of course, you'll probably just choose the coward's way and fail to meet the challenge
Well, considering the amount of stuff people put on them, yes you can smell some perfumes from 50m away, and it's not a nice feeling either.
As for meat eating destroying sense of smell, what scientific data do you have to back it up? Most carnivores have a keen sense of smell and use that as a primary sense. Seems a bit of a contradiction doesn't it?
Ok, where's the surprise in that, we're still made of meat like other animals?
And the saddest thing (for the religious people that is), is that in their quest to attain the 'afterlife', they forget about living this life. Go figure how some people's brains work huh?
As if any religion hasn't got the ultimate aim of helping rulers control their people better by keeping them meek and compliant, in the hope of a better life after death.
Of course, the fanatics in here won't be able to even think about it objectively.
Maybe they should read what Napoleon (himself an atheist) had to say about religion:
A number of quotes attributed to Napoleon indicate a utilitarian view of religion. "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet."; He also said: "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich" (quoted from Robert Byrne, 1,911 Best Things Anybody Ever Said, 1988).
Hey I'm no scientist, but that doesn't mean I have to believe silly superstitions either.
As for me being ashamed, I'm not the one defending a religion that thinks it's ok to stone women to death, or go on a rampage of destruction if a Danish cartoonist draws a caricature of your stupid prophet, or that you'll go to paradise if you blow yourself up in the name of your fairytale allah.
We are in agreement in that. There'd probably be more fight for ideological reasons which would replace religion in that sense.
We did pass through such a phase in the post WW1 years till the end of the Cold War after all, where Fascism, Democracy and Communism waged a deathly battle to see who would emerge as the dominant type of society.
That doesn't excuse that religions have been guilty of the most atrocious barbarities in history though.
I'm sure that if other animals could have evolved that type of intelligence, they'd be doing it too.
Besides, raising animals with the prime REASON of eating them, should leave more of the wild creatures to do their thing after all.
I'm an A blood group, and I have no trouble digesting my meat no worries.
As for the bit in bold, don't you agree that some vegetarians (such as the thread's OP) became vegetarians from a moralistic point of view?
Are you denying that in today's western world, there is a fashion fad about being vegetarian, since it's seen to be trendy and 'cool' by some people?
Are you also denying that some vegetarians go about their vegetarianism in the same fanatic zealousness that religious nuts follow their superstitious beliefs?
I don't think I'm undermining my argument at all, just stating things as they are. Of course, people always like to hear what they like, if it's real or not is another matter
It would most probably be more of a fight about ideology, but that doesn't excuse the fact that religions (especially the monotheistic ones) have been the cause of most of the bad things that have happened to humanity throughout history.
Oh dear, let me explain it to you in VERY SIMPLISTIC terms so maybe you'll get it.
To the people who witnessed the flood, their local area and valleys were most probably 'the world'. People didn't exactly travel a lot to go on holiday in ancient times.
Even in the 20th century you'd find peasants in many parts of the world who'd never travelled more than a few tens of kilometres from their place of birth.
Don't take everything so LITERALLY. When the legends in the bible say 'the whole world', to those poor sods who experienced that flood, the sinking of their valleys really signified the sinking of the world; even if the 'true' world wasn't being flooded.
By the way, what is your IQ level? I'm really starting to have serious doubts about you you know!
When it's you who believe that the world is 6000 years old, when there's TONS OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that the universe and planet Earth are MILLIONS of years old?
You're simply hilarious, ever thought of joining a circus? You'd make a prime clown for sure
