Digest Number 1540

[Guest guest]

I was just sharing an interesting tidbit I learned in a book! I thought it would be fun to learn that according to the Hari Krishnas (and I will find the book) that cows give freely of their milk when they are loved.

 

I hardly think that sharing is story is "preaching".

 

Actually I feel you are preachy. I make one post...and you make assumptions without finding out the facts. You jump all over anything that doesn't ring true with you without even pondering it for a moment. I don't think it's worth it having a dialogue with you...you are so damn dogmatic! YOU are the one who thinks she knows the only way to live...not me!

Just because I read something doesn't mean I believe it though. One doesn't need to believe any religious writing to know that stealing milk from a cow is wrong. Would you like to tell me which nutrient/s we need from milk that we cannot obtain in a more healthy form from a plant. Would you also please tell me the benefits of drinking milk rather than obstaining from it, and also the disadvantages to our bodies of drinking milk.Jo , lv2breathe@a... wrote:> > Jo> > Me thinks you are quick to condemn before investigation. > > Have you ever read any of their books?
