I never get into political or religious issues on this blog. The main reason being is I have seen bloggers who focus on such things with every punch of the keyboard. It's like beating a dead horse sometimes.......speaking of which, I bring you this website. http://forums.joeuser.com/For...
It seems that Peta has "taken up the cross" and decided to attempt their own crusade of sorts. By using various passages in the bible, Peta tries to compel its readers to put down their spatulas (unless you're cooking veggie burgers) and pick up the bowl of sprouts. I have never liked Peta's tactics of advertising nor its choice of protesting theatrics. But this one tops them all. According to Peta. "only vegetarians can be observant Christians, Jews, Mormons, and Muslims."
"At the "Animal Rights 2002" national convention, Animal Liberation author and avowed atheist Peter Singer lamented that "mainstream Christianity has been a problem for the animal movement." Two days later at the same event, a program director with the Fund for Animals issued a warning: "If we are not able to bring the churches, the synagogues, and the mosques around to the animal rights view," he cautioned, "we will never make large-scale progress for animal rights in the United States."
More from that article can be found here: http://www.consumerfreedom.co...
I won't go off on a rant about how ignorant these people are. Or how full of hatred they are. Or how far removed from the land many of our society has become. I think anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am an avid outdoorsman. I hunt, I fish, responsibly and ethically.
I eat animals wild and commercially raised. If a person chooses not to eat meat I certainly respect their choice. However, I'm not educated well enough to know how healthy (or unhealthy) it is for our bodies to do that. But to make such an outrageous display as Peta has done this time is beyond logic, science, reason, and religion.
Not everyone would agree with me, I'm sure. But if they choose to argue with me here let me remind you: http://www.chocolatecityweb.c...
Finally, when a top Peta spokesperson was asked if he thought this portrayal would be upsetting to God he answered "I don't believe God would be offended by just words and images."
So much for 2 of the 10 commandments eh?

These animal rights people are crazy. They will go all out in defending the life of an animal, but where are they when it comes to killing unborn babies? Their motto is Save the Animals and don't worry about the humans.

Great blog! You really should speak your mind more on these issues or any issue that you are passionate about. Thanks for sharing.

I think if everyone would respect others ways of living the world would be a better place. Our kids are so confused on what they can eat, how they should dress, no wonder they feel that dont fit in and are not accepted. Great blog .....

Maybe God should have consulted PETA when He was making fur coats for Adam and Eve?

Wow. Glad I stumbled across your blog. I'm pastor of a Christian church. I believe a Biblical case can be made for healthy eating, and respect for all life. But, who is PETA to preach to me? I remember, years ago, reading a quote from one of these advocates who said something like the following: "I see no difference in value between my 3-year-old son and a chimpanzee." Pretty dumb. If testing on a chimp may one day save a human life, I see the need for it.
