(1) If it is immoral to eat animals, then Christianity is false.
(2) It is immoral to eat animals.
(3) Therefore, Christianity is false.

Arguments for (1)
-Jesus could not act immorally because he was God.
-Jesus ate animals
-Therefore, if eating animals is immoral and Jesus in fact ate animals, then he is not God.

Arguments for (2)
-it is immoral to cause unecessary suffering to sentient beings
-it is not necessary to eat meat to live healthily. Indeed, many nutritionists argue the exact opposite.
-we are causing suffering to sentient beings by eating their meat.
-thus, we are causing pain unecessarily.

A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!”

This is the nickel and diming I've learned to expect from Christian Apologists. You are claiming that killing doesn't always include suffering?

1. Would you agree that killing the animal is harming the animal?
2. Is it morally wrong to cause unnecessary harm to sentient beings?

Would you agree that we cause unnecessary harm to animals when we ploy our fields?
And nobody seems to care that we are forcing plants into the ground against their will! :lol:

Christianity is false for many reasons. Vegetarianism just isn't one of them.
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco

If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb
