    Palo Mayombe believer sacrifices birds - shop closed

    Yes. I was making a generic comment about the motives behind some ritual killing of animals, not focussing only on the OP. I can agree with this. I'm not against eating meat per se, and understand that it is a necessity across the world. People need sustenance and, as omnivores, meat is what...

    Palo Mayombe believer sacrifices birds - shop closed

    Yes, I know. Sorry. I agree. Many activist vegetarians are working towards this. Again, I agree. It was Marble, in her second post, who brought up animals used for food. And this goes back to my original point. I'm happy to leave aside the issue of animals as food in this discussion...

    Palo Mayombe believer sacrifices birds - shop closed

    I'll let these unsupported claims pass for the moment. It's an open forum. If you didn't want a response from a vegetarian, you should have put a disclaimer on your first post.:sarcastic It's not any better or worse, IMO. Killing in the name of a belief system is rather sick.

    Palo Mayombe believer sacrifices birds - shop closed

    That's right. As a vegetarian, I'm not in favour of this level of killing either. You make it sound as though it is obligatory to have ritual killing. Animals don't need to be killed ritualistically. Apart from some apparent psychological 'benefit' to the practitioner through the letting of...

    Killing in the name of a belief system isn't justified, IMO. If a religion advocated ritual slaughter of dogs, say, would we think it is okay? Why should be it okay for birds?

    Honey not vegan friendly?

    I agree. As JarofThoughts said, although the mirror test is useful for certain species, it has a bias towards visually-oriented animals. Also, most of these tests are performed on a small number of captive animals, providing only a very small data set. From this, there is a tendency to...

    Hi Scotty. (Good that you should make 170 posts before introducing yourself. Defying convention - I like it!)

    Honey not vegan friendly?

    That's a useful definition, but how could we determine its presence in other species?

    Does Science Depend on Experimentation?

    Would 'collaborate' equate with 'confirm' to a degree? (sorry - I'm answering a question with a question!)

    Does Science Depend on Experimentation?

    Experiments are vital in the confirmation of certain aspects of science, but, as stated above, they are not the only method of enquiry.

    Stone Henge an Ancient Tabernacle?

    A recent idea is that Stonehenge was originally used as a burial site: Stonehenge may have been ‘the domain of the dead’ for royals - Times Online

    Should Teachers be Allowed to Mock Creationism?

    As you can see, several others have amply addressed your above point to me. Regarding evidence for creationism, lunakilo has started a thread asking for such evidence. Perhaps you could provide us with it. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/evolution-vs-creationism/119852-proof-creation.html
