are vegetarians more ethical by not eating meat?

RE: are vegetarians more ethical by not eating meat?
I think, yes. More consciencious and ethical yes. With regards to mammals. It's not gonna keep me from cookin up some chicken, but when I get to a choice between a chicken or a cow: I'll choose the chicken any day. I would have no problem cuttin the head off of
one of those things and watchin their headless bodies run around the yard, or banging a trout upside the head and frying them up Big Grin That's how we do when I was little.
A cow on the other hand? I see them as farther up the level of consciousness thus making their deaths quite frightening/painful for them.
I feel it only responsible to limit the amount of suffering I myself am responsible for. The rest of humanity by the individual should be the same. IE: don't order the Veal, people. I order cow on special occasions, like my birthday.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
