In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

I thought you would just love the "christian" reference Monica LoL!

Yeah, very interesting!

Technically scripture has the guidlines of "Law of One" although wrongly manipulated into english.

It has both STO and STS in it.

I take the same side of the "adversary" when I tell someone what to do. It becomes a reality if they do it though, stopping an experience. One one side it is wrong for me to tell monkey "how" to experience. Also in the fact that it is not our place to "offer" when not asked for help.

Very true.

The question is, though, why are they coming into this discussion, and participating? They could choose to not read this thread.

And, no one has told Monkey what to do. We're just discussing the spiritual implications of eating 2D entities.

Everyone chooses which discussions to participate in. Should the vegetarians refrain from voicing their opinions, in their own thread, because there might be meat-eaters reading it?

Acceptance kind of also moves you to make the smallest footprint possible on the scale of infringement.

So even these arguments are pointless in one aspect.

It's difficult to balance. By not speaking up, even in a thread whose express purpose is about this particular topic, then we are contributing to the footprint of infringement on other beings (the animals).

So it's kinda damned if you, damned if you don't.

Which is why I don't ever go around telling people to quit eating animals. In everyday life, I never bring it up! I only talk about it when the other person initiates the conversation.

Why do meat-eaters act as if the vegetarians were talking about eating meat, in other threads having other topics? It's all contained right here, in this single thread. If they choose not to discuss it, why do they come into this thread?
