Getting Closer

Melodramatic hyperbole. Also, the "good ol' days" of bible were awash with oppression, brutality. and bloodshed. Things have been "getting worse" since humans invented written language.

I would have thought that we'd be more civilized after thousands of years of senseless bloodshed, but apparently humans just can't get their act together. To my way of thinking, they have less excuse now.....haven't we learned anything from history? What is the definition of insanity?.....doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.....:confused:

Anyone remember the movie Soylent Green?

That science fiction story may not be a too far off reality. ..
Swedish Researcher Pushes Eating Human Flesh as Answer to Future Climate Change Food Shortages


This along with other recent news items, such as Bernie Sanders thoughts about killing pre-born babies in poor third world countries to curb population, just reveals to me that demonic forces are moving full force ahead, using human tools, with the destruction of humanity as the goal.
The danged machine seems to have dropped out the paragraph where you said what the solution was ┬ grateful if you could repeat it.

All life is important and to be appreciated, but from the biblical perspective God gave animals as food. Sad, though, because before sin occurred in the garden of Eden, it seems people did not eat animals.

Makes perfect sense then, since humans are just as much animals (so why not eat other humans). But many of us perhaps despise religions (a little) for this - in separating us from the other animals, and where it often leads to our rather nasty treatment of them. :rolleyes:

Curiously, I cannot find any references to this story, apart from 2nd or 3rd rate American sources.

Where is the real evidence of what he said, and the - all important - context in which he said it?

Also the original story seems to be ten years old. Why is it being given a second outing now?

Surprisingly no one has touched upon this. If the idea of eating human flesh is considered demonic, then why is it Christians symbolically eat the human flesh and drink the human blood of Jesus?

The whole torture and cannibalism thing does not
have a lot of curb appeal in China.

I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the ideas you presented.
At him, at the ideas, or the impossible claims like
knowing daemons are real, it hardly matters.

Laughter and scorn are as I said, social
outriggers.

A person ought not totally disregard
warnings that he is drifting too far from
the shore-still less take such pride and
satisfaction in it!

I like God's ideas better.

Assuming you’re talking about the God of the Bible, they are ideas that have little to no hope of ever being realized.

Of course, there have been billions of souls over the millennia who’ve had no idea or knowledge of that God, yet live far more dharmically (righteously) than many who claim to know that God. So y’see, he really doesn’t control very much.

It's fine either way, though, I'd rather have you laughing at me. I find the fact that people are so ignorant concerning the reality and danger of demonic beings not much of a laughing matter. Understandable, though. I used to laugh.

People give too much importance to what random professors say. There's plenty of professors who are cranks and idiots, although you are exaggerating the shock of this. Humans are made up of flesh - meat - the same as cows and pigs. If you could lab grow it, it would make for interesting reevaluation of ethics. But this isn't going to happen.

Hasn't climate change always been a reality and issue, though? Isn't it interesting how it is being used now as a political and social tool?
The magnitude and consequences of man-made global climate change have only dawned on humanity since the 1970s, as far as I know.

It is a political tool now in the USA specifically, due largely I think to the way American life is organised around the motor car, and the social assumptions that Americans inhabit a land of plenty in which you can aspire to having anything you want if you try hard enough. People who dash those hopes and dreams are not popular.

From the biblical perspective human beings are made in God's image, so we are unique from other animals and while God gave animals for food, humans are not to eat one another.
The biblical mandate is to show good stewardship and care for animals properly and kindly because they are God's creation and property, not ours. So we should not be treating animals in a nasty way.

A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Proverbs 12:10


Along with that, it is not healthy to eat human flesh...
