the proposition you have made just a little while ago that says slaughter can be made more humane (therefore acceptable) by collective effort, compassion and caring, could also apply to killing of other humans, therefore unrationalizing the rationalizations you have made about killing of other human beings in that other thread.
This is absurd, and you know it. Way to take my comment out of context and, once again, IGNORE the rest of the post. Unbelievable.
OK, you win. That sausage I ate last weekend is the reason why I can't graduate to 4D. I guess I will have a long time to consider the error of my ways while I spend my next life foraging for nuts and berries. I will do my best to remember not to hunt an animal though, even if my family and I are starving to death, because animals are people too. Aw, heck, plants are people too. Tell you what, I will try to subsist on rocks and sand. Will that satisfy you? Or are 1D elementals people too?
Actually, if I can manage to reach back through the veil, I will try to remember to reinvent the whisk broom before the wheel next time around, so that my fellow humans can avoid the negative karma accrued from squishing ants underfoot as they forage for food in the jungle. Maybe that will knock off a couple million years off the next cycle. Oh wait, that won't work because, in the manufacture of the whisk broom, I will be taking the life of a plant. Shoot. I guess I will just dash my body on the rocks so as not to harm any other lifeforms.
Nope nope, wait wait. With all the negative karma I've accrued over the years of eating meat, maybe I should come back AS the rock. Yes, that will teach me a lesson for sure.
NOTE TO SELF: Offering a rational counterargument to an irrational belief is pointless.
