I think NDEs are one gateway point to an alternate experince where ones own cognative (the process of thinking) and psychological contructs get shattered to a degree. From that foundation religion can often be seen as an unnecessary distraction in a persons wordview/perspective. The connection...

Yes it does inspire me. I think Jesus would have known that to push the status quo in the way that he did would have meant his demise. That is a courageous and selfless act. I also find the process of his death to be reflective of human nature and our desire to see punishment of some sort when...

Non knowledge is not the same as not understanding something. I didn't know 2+2 equalled 4 until i did, and it was easy to understand. For sure our biological understanding of ourselves is still in its infancy to some degree. A doctor (general practitioner) spends very very little of their...

Triggered are we? Thanks for being the 'Off topic police'. I see mine is the only post you chose to critique in that regard, no surprise.

Yes I made a philosophical choice, but in no way has my health suffered, nor will it. Dietary science is pretty easy to understand.

I'm not a Christian but the bolded part in your post drew my attention. I believe the command to be compassionate comes from within, its the very essence of what makes us human, and its applied with action towards the thing that we deem to be suffering (or not) In times of need (say for our own...

No they are not. If your survival depends on the death of another living being then you have highlighted a need for your own survival, but you have no predetermined right. Might does not equal right, anymore than my ability to overpower you and kill you because I feel slighted by your outlook...

I know they are, but you highlighted a need for dairy and not meat, so I thought you might be vegetarian to align your lifestyle with your opinion. I was vegetarian for 5 years before going vegan and I thought it extreme when I was veggie. Now it's the other way my friend, eating the flesh of...

Well one thing is for sure, a calf needs dairy, it needs milk from its mother. Ironically it doesn't get that and we drink the lactating product. It's odd how our own species don't feed a child breast milk much beyond six months old, but we swear we need the milk from another species and don't...

Whilst your opinion is valid, it is only that. Do you care to share the basis for your opinion?

Some interesting info on B12. Ok it's from a vegan website so bias is present, but it gives a certain perspective. B12: A Magic Pill, or Veganism's Achilles Heel?

An interesting article. It also has some links to some of the topics mentioned in this thread. Collaboration between farmers and vegans

All good Pete. Take care

Nobody has a perfect health argument. Understanding nutrition and food and observing the hundreds of peer reviewed studies on the subject are proof enough for me. I don't care what others do to be honest. If you look at my original post I just commented on question in the OP. Everything else has...

Yep it's called history, and our evolutionary history. Get rid of all your modern technology and all the technology that effects your life and then make your claim. Then I'd say you had a point. But you don't today.

Post #64 answers this question. You didn't make a point you made a statement. It matters not, I don't value your opinion in this regard. And that means you can't show them compassion? They are equal in their ability to suffer by way of a brain and central nervous system and having mental...

Hi Pete. I don't really think your views expressed are measured and balanced, not when you are calling something a cult, or a religion, when clearly it is nothing of the sort. You either have a fear of something you don't understand or you are trying to create that fear within others. Either way...

When i have a little more time Pete I'll explain why (from my perspective) your ignorance is anything but bliss.
