Eating animals- Denies an animal the right to life.

Slavery- was practiced in the world in the time of Jesus.
Eating animals - was practiced in the world in the time of Jesus.

Slavery-Jesus acknowledged it exists
Eating animals- Jesus had the passover feast.

Slavery- took the horrid form of roman/European slavery.
Eating animals - Took the horrid form of factory farms.

Slavery- All but a few are against.
Eating animals- all but a few are for.

Slavery- was accepted from the beginning of written history.
Eating animals - Abbatoirs make most meat at present

Slavery - Most are against because many saw the Atlantic slave trade was cruel.
Eating animals - Some are against because they see factory farms are cruel.

Slavery - when enough people saw the evil they quit it. (Or they didn't want slaves anymore)
Eating animals - when enough people will see the evil they will quit it. (Or maybe they won't because THEY like it.)

Slavery- Jesus asked them to respect their neighbors/slaves so their suffering would minimalize.
Eating animals - Animal activists ask us to quit factory farming and kill them swiftly so their suffering would minimalize.

Slavery- After a few centuries, they didn't listen to him.
Eating animals-We don't listen to them even now!

Slavery- continued after a gap of a few centuries.
Eating animals - never stopped

What atheists say now- Jesus was evil he supported slavery!

What atheists will say then- Jesus was evil he killed and ate animals!

So people- we interpret, curse or praise as per what WE want in our greediness.
As we don't find eating animals wrong now so did slave owners think then. Future generations will condemn us as we condemn our past generations.

Therefore I feel that saying Jesus supported slavery is like saying activists who ask us to kill swiftly support animal killing

We need animal protein to power our bodies and to ensure that our brains function properly. We don't have the digestive tract necessary to eat grass.
