Christians, should you be eating meat? In order to find out, answer this question for yourself: Is it right to enjoy the product of torture?
Because the animals we eat are undeniably and brutally tortured, many of them from the moment of their birth to their painful, terrifying death. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWwONMRJ33k&ab_channel=LinasKorta]
[quote][i] But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.[/i][/quote] Romans 14:23

@1354swrdt Was that God's way of apologizing for flooding the planet? "Hey, I'm sorry I killed everybody you ever knew. As a consolation prize, you can now eat animals."
@1354swrdt It's a rhetorical question, the answer is God did. In Genesis, he created the Tree of Knowledge, the Tree of Life, the snake, Adam, and Eve, with full knowledge that they all had flaws that would cause them to introduce sin into the world. He caused the Fall through all these actors; he doesn't get off the hook just because he didn't personally do it.
@1354swrdt Yeah, I probably did believe the first lie I was ever told. Most kids start out pretty damn naive. But getting back on-track, using proxies to do a deed doesn't absolve you of guilt. If I build a robot that kills my neighbor, I can't turn around and blame the robot to get off scott-free. I constructed the damn thing and I knew exactly what it would do. Any court would agree that that's 100% my own fault.
@1354swrdt yeah, he built human beings who he knew would help precipitate the fall. In an analogy, some things are similar and some things are different. The point is that the differences don't negate the central point.
So you are mad at a god you don’t believe in and arguing obsessively over what you believe is a fictional story? Have you a mental disorder!p? @BlueVeins
