[The Grand Nudger]

I can support, with chapter and verse, that it was a goddamned dragon. Says right there in the black and white there was a serpent with legs that talked. One of many dragons in magic book. I'll never understand why dragons are a bridge too far for christians who believe in things like fallen angels.

I suspect, in mere reality, that the character in the OT is a version of babylonian All Evil. A fascinating character in ane magic. Started out as a post script to magic spells..but..writing on cuneiform tablets all these different clauses to ward them off was unweildy...so they employed "and all other evil". Over time, we see "and all other evil" replaced by All Evil - the post scripts and clauses had become contextualized as the personification of a force. The authors of old magic book were deeply influenced by transportation.

-aaaanywho, I see we've returned to a deontological explanation for the moral permissibility of eating animals. The idea that things are more or less okay, because some guy said so. Authoritarian subjectivism. I do think that eating animals is permissible, but I don't think anything is made right or wrong on the say so of any given moral agent or one moral agent in particular. Neither god nor man. If moral content is real, and if moral statements are cognitive statements - then any given moral agents moral utterances may be true or false, and so the mere fact of their saying so-and-so does not entail the fact of so-and-so. That must be premised elsewhere, on things specifically and explicitly separate from facts of a given moral utterer. At best, our moral utterance (and a gods moral utterances) might coincide with or conform to with some objectively true fact, but our utterances do not and cannot, themselves, generate them.
