In my youth my family visited Mexico and took in a -to the death- bullfight.
I was too young to be appalled.
With what we're learning about chronic traumatic encephalopathy in American and European football, it is sad to see healthy persons injuring themselves for money. I expect the participants are largely coming from communities without great hope for advancement. But would they do what they are doing if they knew what being a punch drunk ex fighter in their 30s meant? They might still. Early post adolescent males are not known for making good risk/reward judgements.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
