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
Eating is required to live, and humans require protein.
Slavery is not required to live, and humans desire freedom.
Your god is alleged to be omnipotent, and should be able to put together an economy that doesn't rely on slavery.
If loving a nice, rare ribeye is wrong, I don't wanna be right, baby. Walk that cow by me and I'll cut off what I want. And you can take your false analogies and starve to death, for all I care.

I think it's telling when we get one of these arguments that sounds suspiciously like we're comparing god to ordinary people and calling it a wash.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Actually, we do not require protein in our diet. The body builds protein from amino acids. Some of the amino acids can be made from others. There are 12 amino acids which cannot be built by the body. These are called essential amino acids. As long as you eat these, you will never have a protein problem. You would probably have to go out of your way to NOT get the 12 essential amino acids in your diet.
A cow gets its protein the same way, of course.
Another tidbit is that the human body cannot directly make use of protein from another animal. Protein from meat is disassembled into its component amino acids and then reassembled into human protein - an energy-intensive, inefficient process.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Cool, I didn't know that.
I'm still eating me some goddamned cattle. And hog. And lamb. And chicken.
While we're on the topic, how come Catholic meatless Fridays often include fish? I think that's cheating.

I would have starved to death before I ever got big enough to hit a cow over the head with a rock if it weren't for catfish and crappie. Blame them for the sad fate of Ole Bessie....

Fish allergy. I can only eat a couple bites without getting sick.
Same with soy, oddly.
