Is it wrong to eat cats?

[Abbadon]

You say your a Taoist, then you shouldn't really be eating meat!

Actually, he's Discordian (is that right? I love answering questions addressed to you before you get the chance, psychedlicist), which means he's not allowed to eat hot dog buns. But must consume a whole hot dog every friday. And these laws don't contradict.

I don't think this link would be too innappropriate, considering the conversation.

Enjoy.

Oh My God words fail me.

 

[Abbadon]

Funny.

Thank you.

Oh My God words fail me.

Thank you.

 

[satrunstar]

Not if its your culture. However I find it disturbing and gross

 

[Jetgirl]

Oh My God words fail me.

Psst. It's satire.

 

[praying]

Psst. It's satire.

Is it really??

 

[Exhausted]

Is it really??

Read the bottom.

Is it really??

Note: Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), author and satirist, famous for Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729). This proposal, where he suggests that the Irish eat their own children, is one of his most drastic pieces. He devoted much of his writing to the struggle for Ireland against the English hegemony.

I read that, that is why I asked if it was really satire.

 

[psychedelicist]

dude.. you cant be serious........

Not serious enough to eat another human, but let's look at it logically. Like I have already said, we must kill another living thing against it's will (or find it already dead) in order to eat. Life feeds on life, it's inescapable. All we have done is changed the "fed" to the "food" position. Health concerns and evolutionary disadvantages aside, it almost doesn't seem any different than eating any other animal.

If you wanna get technical about it, I am a member of the church of the subgenius, and since I live in texas this makes me an honorary subgenius and a dishonorary discordian at the same time. Being dishonorary, I tend to not follow the rules of discordianism either (though most honorary discordians don't, either).

At any rate, discordianism could be considered a subsect of taoism, though taoism might not be so proud to admit this Most of it's ideas come from taoism, though it's more like judaism and christianity at this point, they are generally more dissimilar than they appear, and a discordian would be hard pressed to be accepted as a taoist by other taoists, or so I imagine. I myself am pretty torn between being fully taoist and fully discordian, depending on my mood and general state of mind I might be closer to one one day, and the other the next day.


Anyways, I wasn't aware that taoism was vegetarian. I never heard anything specific about it from any of the taoists I've talked to. Just one more way I make a terrible taoist, I suppose

Ah. Well, I shot in the correct direction at least. The hot dog bit was jsut what stuck out most of te Discordian texts I've read.

Are you going to pay the $5 to become a member of the clergy?

 

[Moros]

Yes.

Juicy white meat is far superior to stringy dark.

 

[AtheistPerson]

According to the bible its ok to eat any animal with paws because they are not considered unclean. Its in the bible and its another thing that makes me sick...

 

[Abbadon]

You don't eat Asian often, do you Atheistperson?

Actually, cats aren't even mentioned in the Bible specifically.

 

[Exhausted]

I've eaten an Asian.

Okay it doesnt make me that sick, since i do eat asian food! I'm just focused on the ill minded idea of homosexuality being wrong...

I'm not so much sick of that as sick of fellow members of my religion focusing on those few verses and miscontruing other verses to thier ends to make it seem like that's all the Bibles about.

I'm just disagree with the idea of homosexuality being evil.
