RE: Slavery and eating animals

If you like being a vegan more power to you. I don't care. But I find the analogy somewhat flawed somehow. How would a cow live naturally? It would graze on grass before being brought down by a cougar, wolf, or a very lucky coyote and being eaten while still alive. A bullet through the head is a much kinder end. A human owning another human is an unnatural abomination perpetuated by a desire for free labor. I understand the aversion to killing animals, I just don't share it. So long as the animal lived the kind of life it would prefer and was happy I don't see a problem with killing it humanely and eating it.

And as such I don't understand the point of the op. Why would any of this affect the divinity of Jesus? Either he was or he wasn't. Either he existed or he didn't. His views on slavery and eating meat are irrelevant to that.
