: When I was young I was a very strong individualist, heavily influenced by the writings of Thoreau and Emerson. But as I got older I began to see the flaw in individualism for individualism's sake. That flaw is you soon start to determine your lifes goal solely based on the desire not to be like anyone else. From there you progress to criticizing other people just to justify your own position. : One area where this is readily apparent is the meat/vegetarian debate. Who gives a #$%^ what somebody else does as far as eating choices. If you enjoy Mcdonalds, which I did before I moved to a place that had In & Out burgers, enjoy it without criticizing vegetarians. If you want to be a vegetarian, enjoy it, but remember , a majority of species survive by eating other creatures. When I stand before God on judgement day, I don't stand before you. You would do well to remember that.
im afraid i have to disagree with you buddy. eating animals is wrong. you are right many species eat animals but
1) they have to to survive we dont and
2) many species also eat their own fecies
3) we should learn from the error of other species
the animals you eat have parents (albeit parents they never saw) do you have children? would you like it if someone ate your children or someone else you loved. if this sounds insensitive or in bad taste then you know how i feel and how billions of factory farm animals feel.
as for god and judgement day read the bible carefully. god never gave humans permission to eat other animals until the flood when there were no plants, moreover god never punished any vegetarians
you dont answer to me and you dont really answer to god either. you answer to your conscience
None.
