Since when? I'm telling people not to have shitty arguments. I'm also explaining how shitty a few specific arguments are for those who are a bit slow on the uptake. Please show me where I have tried to convince anyone that it's morally wrong to eat meat. I'll ignore the rest of what you posted since it's based on your complete misunderstanding of what I'm doing.

Kay. Is raping a baby to death bad? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you'd say it's firmly in the "bad" column. That's morality. If you choose to call the human perception of right and wrong an illusion, that's fine. Just realize that you're calling all conclusions of human reason illusions when you do so.
I'm sure there's a thread about ethics and morality where this can be better discussed, though. It probably has a title like "Do Good and Evil Exist?" or "what's the point of morality anyways."
