Judaism is a sacrificial religion, in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were

vegetarians.

 

 

I have to speak up for Tracy after some other messages followed hers

because she did say that Judaism was a scraficial religion.

 

That aside, I am not in any way a religious person and this isn't the place

for a discussion of that. I'm vegetarian because I do not believe we

should rape this planet, and kill as we are doing, to eat. There are too

many alternatives. It does annoy me (to put it mildly <g>) when I'm

criticized for this and then from religious friends get the spiel that its

in the bible we are supposed to eat meat. I find that telling these folks

that the bible was written by a lot of old shepherds trying to sell their

sheep will usually bring a quick end to the conversation.

 

For whatever reason we are vegetarian, the end result is a benefit to us

and to the creatures with whom we share this planet.
