I find it strange how so many man made religions are so totally devoid of any empathy or compassion, and only teach cruelty and utter evilness.
Which religions aren't man made?

Oh brother. Rolls eyes.
Jews were slaughtered indiscriminately in world war 2. They didn’t suffer lightly either. Jews were gased, burned alive, beaten to death, buried alive, starved, and the list goes on. The Nazis showed no compassion for the Jews because they were inferior, among other things. The Jews were not given a swift and merciful death.Oh brother. Rolls eyes.

So, when Jews are confronted about an unnecessary suffering they are exclusively contributing to, your think they’d be a bit more empathetic and compassionate by learning from the past... Nope! I find this whole attitude disgusting and shocking. Is there nothing learned?
The holocaust was a tragedy for the whole human race, but it seems like it’s the dogmatic ideologies that are the most resistant to change. It seems like the people stuck these rigid Ideologies will always cause the suffering of others. Sad, really.
My reply was more directed at this whole thread and it was not out of context.Though, thank you for clearing that up.You are taking the reply out of context. Please read the comment chain between myself and Indigo. The claim was kosher slaughter was created to be humane. I disagreed by pointing out the holdup over blood as the reason.
You're comparing the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food to how the Nazis slaughtered the Jews in the holocaust.I find this whole attitude disgusting and shocking.
Good. Then how to do feel about the unnecessary suffering of animals?You're comparing the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food to how the Nazis slaughtered the Jews in the holocaust.

Animals are alive. Plants are alive. We breed, grow and kill both to eat for survival.Good. Then how to do feel about the unnecessary suffering of animals?
Oh, you're back. Didn't you leave? I see you still haven't grasped the argument.Animals are alive. Plants are alive. We breed, grow and kill both to eat for survival.

So I guess this was a hit and run. I was comparing attitudes. You'd think Jews would be more compassionate and empathetic after an event like the holocaust. No, it seems not. However, if you want to compare brutality, then why don't you watch this video that Subduction Zone linked.You're comparing the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food to how the Nazis slaughtered the Jews in the holocaust.

Where is your compassion?
I said that because of what you said bellowI never went any where. Why would you make that claim?
Then bye bye now.
It's quite clear mammals suffer. Do you have any pets?Do you not think plants suffer? Google the cause for the smell of fresh cut grass.

I have more compassion for rats and mice because they are mammals. They are closer, in many ways, to human beings, so our mirror neurons activate more often. Also, some mammals will trigger hormones connected to maternal bonds(I.E. instinctual behaviour to protect).Do you have the same compassion for rats, mice, fish, snakes, roaches, ants, spiders, etc. If not, why?
There are many differences. For one us; how we react to them. The second difference is them. Insects may not suffer the same we we do or mammals do. Have you ever seen a fly's head chopped off? It literally does what it was doing before; it's behaviour does not change. They're going on pure instinct.What the difference?

This is how empathy and morality works.I see. If you feel if the animal is close to you it's wrong. If not it's ok.
And what do you mean by that? Do you have any followup to that?A life is a life.
Yes, I do.You do realize people have spiders, rats, mice, snakes, roaches, etc for pets as well right?

Ok, a life is a life. Cool.A life is a life. A spider, snake, roach, rat are all alive as a cow is alive.
