Quote:Yes, I think society is severely wrong when it comes to the treatment of animals. That has nothing to do with God, it was demonstrating that I don't buy into your "might is right" analogy. It seems unlikely God will punish anyone for that as he seems fine with animal slaughter.You take god's involvement out to dodge a predicament. And people call me disingenuous?

Quote:If I was in power? If I was God, then I'd not have set up any sort of harm or death in the first place. That's if I had created anything at all. If I was a human with the power to end it then no, I wouldn't single handedly make that decision. I would lobby for it to become an issue people could agree to leave behind.Are you against the prison system? That's using power to stop people from/punish people for immoral acts. Yet, if in your power, you wouldn't stop people from committing immoral acts.
