Animals

[4dmin]

Because if you believe that animals are not here to serve us in some capacity, food included, then you feel they are here for a "higher purpose". What's that "higher purpose", I don't know. But if you honestly feel that way, then it would stand to reason that you would NOT eat them since the act of EATING something can certainly be seen as the food SERVING for us. It's stretching, but you get the point I'm trying to make.



In the bible it clearly states in Genesis that:

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."


It goes on to say:

3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

So to ME there are clear indications of what God intended. Again, that is only IF you believe the bible. IF you don't, then I guess you don't.

it is still kill or be killed... personally you say humans are supposed to serve a higher purpose than animals, but i would own a slave and many of you too would, which is nothing more than an animal. you have to be realistic about this... as you said earlier you couldn't survive in their domain they can't survive in yours, so how are you better than an animal? We are the same just smarter.

You can't take the bible word for word anyway cause in this cause "anything that lives and moves" that would mean humans as well?
