Atheism and vegetarianism

[The Omnissiunt One]

I'm not delving any further in the other questions as they have nothing to do with the topic at hand, and to me these political/philosophical discussions are boring as fuck. Sorry, I know some people do, but I just don't like them.

Fair enough.

I just don't see that.

From a utilitarian point of view, to kill a being who makes future plans is to violate his or her interests, hence it's wrong. You can choose not to accept utilitarianism, but from a consequentialist stand point it makes sense.

Because I am speciest. I am part of the human species and I have a strong preference to them alive over dead. I want to talk with them, have sex with them, eat with them, live with them, work with them. Killing them, or eating them, not so much. Unless there is a very good reason for it. I don't have that with any other animal, specially the sex part.

Of course. But what interest do you have in the life of a human, say, on Death Row, whom you'd never talk to, eat with, live with, work with or shag? You couldn't persuade anyone that your position on capital punishment was the right one if you just said, 'Ah, I don't like it.' You're entitled to be a moral nihilist if you want. But very few people are prepared to see the implications of that position through to the end. As everything would just be a subjective opinion, you'd have no basis to condemn anything.
