Gnarcore Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 3 hours ago, SILLY GOOSE said: That's quite an assumption. Do you consider it impossible that I've actually thought about this issue for a long time? Well the idea that animals are mere property under the law can arguably be traced back to the religious belief that the big guy himself God gave Man dominion over all animals on earth. Oh Im sure you didnt. You grew up with the assumption that it was OK to do what you do, but that doesnt make it rationally justified. FTR I grew up also thinking the same. For someone that brings up abortion, and Ill assume you think that the moral permissability of that practice is determined by reason (not religion), then your views regarding the ethical treatment of animals is also subject to reason. Can your beliefs stand up to rational criticism e.g. lacking moral standing? Again, for someone who ridicules religion as being rationally nonsensical, Im not sure your beliefs hold either. Are you trying to say anyone who loves/doesnt eat animals are OK with the holocaust? C'mon now man...... So you changed the font just for those two points? If so my apologies.... It is ok to do what I do. You might think different. I don't give a &^@# about your morals. I care about the rule of law because I am practical person who happens to live in a (mostly) just society. That last point is asinine. Of course not and I question how in the hell you could come to that conclusion. It was just to point out that beliefs on animals and spiritual beliefs don't need to be remotely connected or show a good person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that we live in a world where a top prospect goalie feels he needs to be the last one off the ice or else the sky will fall in or something! Anywhooo...

I'm having difficulty understanding you. I'll take your word for it that Hitler loved animals and I do know he was a vegetarian. I certainly do not know what his beliefs about animal were, and I certainly havnt espoused his views about anything. So how is Hitler's beliefs on animals (which we do not know are) in any way a relevant point? Care to explain what you mean by "spiritual beliefs" and "good person" because I certainly dont understand what point you are trying to make. The only thing asinine here is your very vague rant of some sort. Also, trashing religion is an easy target. You shouldnt be so impressed with yourself.

apollo Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It's just their culture... the sheep meat will probably go feed the needy. They do this in some other countries too. Not really to break a slump... but there's many reasons to do it. Regardless, this ends up feeding the needy or the homeless in most cases. So it's a good thing.
