I get that not every atheist arrived at atheism by being rational, skeptical, or intelligent in the slightest, but this thread is just ridiculous. Folks, your arguments absolutely blow. Try to exercise your critical thinking skills before spewing idiotic pro-meat bollox. It's okay if you like to kill and eat dudes, but there's no excuse for sounding like a dummo.

Is your argument that most people here eat meat, and this is not a vegetarian site, therefore the arguments here are obviously going to be absolute shit? I don't agree if that's your point. I pointed out a number of flaws in some of the arguments here, but not all arguments on a site such as this are necessarily going to be that terrible. I'm not sure why you think so poorly of people such as yourself, but honestly not everyone has such poor arguments as you.

Wait, so your "instinct" affects the types of food your body can consume? That's amazing! While James Randi hasn't touched on this topic exactly, you should totally contact him as soon as possible. There's no fucking way he won't give you that million bucks for having some sort of magical body.
Also, desire and instinct are not the same thing. You should educate yourself about what instincts actually are before claiming that they are what drive your behavior in this area.

You can't exactly give logical reasons why something is immoral. Are you arguing from a logical standpoint, or an ethical standpoint; the two don't really mix. There is nothing "logical" about not causing harm to animals.
I kept going on about morality because people kept giving shit arguments that I responded to. How are you missing that?

Yeah, because you obviously never see that holier-than-thou attitude from any meat eaters. I think you may have a slight bias there, dawg.
