It's true that many current fishing strategies are horrific for the environment
And any is horrific for the fish who has to be killed to be eaten.
Again, Shit for Brains, animals DO NOT have the same rights as people.
That's just a meaningless phrase. Slaves also didn't have the same rights as "people". Children also don't have the same rights as "people".
There is NO scientific consensus that eating meat in rational amounts will harm you.
And rational amount is zero.
The Big Bang & Evolution BOTH require a Cause, Shit for Brains.
Don't you think I know about the cosmological argument and why it is wrong? Seriously, who created God? And how does your answer to that make any sense?
There are countless archaeologists arguing about Sinai to this day. NO consensus has been reached. The Mountain exists. But which of three it could be is a debate.
It's not a debate about archaeology, it's a debate about the correct interpretation of Torah. And if Torah were truly inspired by God, there wouldn't be such debates, because God would know how to make himself clear.
And the scientific evidence against the Exodus is overwhelming. Just look at this:
https://books.google.hr/books?id=0QHHITXsyskC&pg=PA5&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=falseRabbinic tradition has NOTHING to do w/ the topic.
I thought you were one saying that tradition is a valid source.
W/O suffering, theodicy could not be demonstrated, Shit for Brains.
Imagine if someone said: "If I don't murder you, others wouldn't know to value not being murdered." Would that make any sense? That's basically what you are putting in God's mouth, right?
Maybe in Croatia cigarettes are good for you. But elsewhere they are not. & the health benefits of alcohol & meat, both in moderation, are widely known.
They are widely known myths made up by the lazy addicted people to justify their behavior. Maybe the myths about cigarettes being good for you aren't well-known in America, but they are known and believed in in Croatia.
If people in Croatia are unlike the rest of the world that is not my problem.
See, that's the problem, they aren't. They only apparently believe in more unscientific myths about medicine.
I have studied Gandhi. He never said an animal was expert @ anything, Shit for Brains.
Haven't I quoted him saying that? OK, I will do it once again.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.http://www.mkgandhi.org/ebks/moralbasis_vegetarianism.pdfThe fact that you never were a vegan but claimed to be means that you are a lying sack of shit.
So what? I lied to make people stop abusing animals, and you are probably lying about being a great philosopher just to make people continue abusing animals.
Wait... FE is totally scientific!
Trust me, as someone who used to be a FE-er, it's not. That's not the way the knowledge works and certainly not the way science works. Flat Earth Theory is just a bunch of, often contradictory, ad-hoc hypotheses. It sounds scientific, but not only it's not based on evidence, it doesn't make any sense once you analyze it. Say, for instance, your explanation of the horizon being curved on the high-altitude photographs. Put it in a different context, like: "If you put a camera exactly bellow a lightbulb, it can't see anything that isn't illuminated by that lightbulb." See, it makes no sense. If it made any sense, it wouldn't be called pseudo-science. Look, it's probably impossible for any single observation to disprove the Flat Earth, but it's also probably impossible to make a coherent Flat Earth Theory. Say for instance your explanations for the ships disappearing bottom first. One with the perspective explains why ships disappear bottom first, but doesn't explain why do ships reappear when you move to a higher altitude. On the other hand, one with the electromagnetic accelerator bending the light upwards explains it, yet at the same time predicts that the ships should disappear top first. And some of your explanations make sense when written, but are obviously false when you try and draw a diagram. Say for instance, the explanation that ships disappear bottom first because of the waves. It makes sense when you read it, but once you draw a diagram, you see that waves, being bellow your eye level, can't hide the top of the ship at all, being above your eye level. And all of the arguments for the FET can be reduced to "I don't know, therefore conspiracy!". I mean, look, the most sensical explanation is always one involving RE. Imagine you sit on a board. Would the edge of a board seem to be rising with you as you stand up? No. Yet, once you assume RE, you can use basic trigonometry to calculate the angle at which you see the horizon from a certain height. It will always be very close to your eye level. And, as far as I know now, the same goes for other "evidence" of the Flat Earth. And any explanation involving conspiracies is extremely unlikely. Look, the largest conspiracy ever discovered was Operation Snow White, involving around 5000, mostly uneducated, people. The number of people working in space agencies is by the order of magnitudes greater. If you think that something you see contradicts some fact in science, that means you have misinterpreted either what you saw or what the science actually says. Besides, being a conspiracy theorist kind of destroys your life. I mean, then you start to doubt that people you know can accomplish anything and start thinking they are also liars. Also, you start thinking that you actually can't accomplish anything. It made me, well, feel very bad. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't stopped being a conspiracy theorist.
But I can't blame you for anything you believe. After all, just a few weeks ago, I used to believe totally crazy things myself.
