Re: Why Christianity is False from Vegetarianism
Post #21This is the nickel and diming I've learned to expect from Christian Apologists. You are claiming that killing doesn't always include suffering?
1. Would you agree that killing the animal is harming the animal?
2. Is it morally wrong to cause unnecessary harm to sentient beings?

Christianity is false for many reasons. Vegetarianism just isn't one of them.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU
It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco
If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb
