Of course not. Thats why youre wrong about Buddhists not wanting to take life to eat.
Are you taking the long long long route to the question of sentience, or what?Why don't you treat a chicken the same as a cabbage? Is one a life and the other one not a life? Or what?
Ask a Christian philosopher a question
Here is my question:
It is generally accepted that the Bible has contradictions and/or transcriber errors.
It must be true that God either can or cannot prevent these things from occurring.
God can prevent these things from occurring.
Therefore God either wants there to be errors in the Bible, or he does not care.
Which is the case, why, and what does it mean?
God allows us to make errors in order to teach us His truth.
The honest questions we can ask ourselves are:
1. Do I desire the truth to be that a perfectly good God exists?
2. Do I desire the truth to be that a perfectly good God does not exist?
3. Do I not care either way?
Keep in mind that no matter which you choose, it has no effect on the reality of a perfectly good God existing or not existing.
Yup! And as such, our desires naturally cause us to resist truths that are in the bible. Every. Single. One. Of. Us.Pure desires, get in the way of objectivity. If you simply desire badly enough to believe in something, your mind will figure out a way to convince yourself of the same.
I am quite certain, some Muslims strongly desire their religion to be correct and Hindu's strongly desire for their religion to be correct and they convince themselves, that it is.
I would like to know whether you objectively believe everything Jesus says is true. Also to know why. I do not agree that objectivity can be achieved, because it is always challenged by temptation of self's desire, and threatened by misinformation.It's self explanatory -alleged conversation between Pilate & Jesus- not much to glean there.
Why do you ask?
Incorrect. I have desired belief in an afterlife for many years, but my desire to believe it and have it be true has thus far not made me think it is. I would rather go to the hell I do not believe in than the nonexistence I do after I die.Yup! And as such, our desires naturally cause us to resist truths that are in the bible. Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
Though it is not impossible to overcome (1 John 4:4).

Help yourself.First you would need to establish that there are contradictions in the bible.
I am familiar with all of them and have reasons why they are not contradictions. I could give you a link to these reasons if you would like.
