Born Again Christians: Why Dont We Eat Human Vegetables as well as Animals?

Question

Folks, thank you for your answers. As you see it the reason why we eat animals like say pigs is because of one of the following reasons:

God said we could eat meat after the flood;

pigs taste good; and

we are intelligent and pigs are not.

Lets think about human vegetables now. Human vegetables have no sentient ability; they cannot think, communicate or do anything without assistance. They are made of meat, like pigs. And thousands of years of human cannibalism, widespread across cultures, is proof that human flesh tastes good.

So all the reasons that you have given for eating pigs apply to eating people without brain function.

Why is it that we do not eat these human vegetables?

On what basis do we give them human rights since they are so much less than human, just slabs of living meat?

Answer 1

its not healthy there's a disease you can catch when you commonly practice cannibalism
i forget witch one but its like that mad cow disease
so only eat brother in an emergency
oh and those christains do eat the flesh and drink the blood of the there savior jesus
if not literally at lest in a sick metaphorical way

Answer 2

First, we need to correct some mis-conceptions. 1. Heaven and Hell are only conditions we make, while we are in our "particle stage." Example - where we are now. Death puts us into our quantum stage, which is a void without time or space. 2. God is not an energy form. God is the forces that interface with quarks to make creation. God only writes the genetic code up to the point of water. Living creatures that come from water, write their own code. Eventually, we live with that code that we write. This is God's judgment for us. 3. Everything in creation is an energy form that spins around it's own genetic frequencies. That includes pigs as well as people. Whether people eat pigs, or pigs eat people is not a Godly decision. Every species creates and adapts to it's own conditions. If you think there is an injustice here, don't eat pigs. Veggies, milk and fruit are better for you, anyway

Answer 3

I think you are a little confused by the terminology. First, we are humans and our human nature is an intrinsic value. Thus, eating a person in a vegetative state is still cannabalism.

We do not eat meat because we are smarter than the animals are. First of all, intelligence is a relative thing, and second Pauly Shore. Need I say more?

We are permitted to eat meat because, in part, of our mandate to care for and subdue the world around us. We are, by our nature, special creations made in the image of God, whereas animals are not.

It is also worth notign that not all Christians eat meat. There is a sizable Christian Vegan movement dedicated to returning us to the Biblical mandate based on the Genesis account. Tha passage calls upon Man to till the earth and eat bread, but no mention of meat.

Answer 4

The human vegetable is off limits because it goes against common morality. A person is worth more than just the chemical compounds that make up the body. Even though that person may be dead mentally, they should be allowed a certain amount of respect. And thats just the moral side of the coin. People are dirtier, nastier, and more disease ridden than farm raised animals

Answer 5

Your logic is ludicrous, and you know it. Firstly, the permission to eat meat does not include eating humans. Any sensible reading of the text (especially by it's original readers) will result in the conclusion that ANIMALS are the objects of the permission. The numerous reasons beyond that are not even waranted by such an idiotic question.

Answer 6

Here is the text that answers both of your questions. Go ahead and ridicule away....

Genesis 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

Answer 7

"So all the reasons that you have given for eating pigs apply to eating people without brain function."

Huh?

this one too?: "God said we could eat meat after the flood;" (from your post above)

Jumping mantits! that's the worst translation of what's written in the latin bible yet!

Answer 8

Certainly not a born again christian here, but there are good reasons for not engaging in cannibalism. It's unhealthy. It's most notably the cause of some prion diseases, like mad cow disease.

Answer 9

Unfortunately George Bush can not be eaten until his second term is done.

Arnold Ziffle, the Green Acres pig could have done a better job than Bush.

Your logic is demented and warped. I love it.

Answer 10

Well it depends on your definition of what a human is. To me, being human is more than just having a mind. just because they cant think anymore, doesnt make them any less human in my eyes..
