Animals' Rights......

After work, as i was taking dinner with my colleague today. We met this interesting indian guy Nicholas John, who shares his point of views toward religions and believes. Slowly it became a discussion of how human-being reacts and misunderstand what the so called 'GOD(in every religions)' is trying to say in their 'bibles'! For those who knows me well enough, they know i'm animals lover and without fail will get into this topic..hee...

No offense! Frankly i dislike most Christians, as words that comes out from their mouth are ironically illogical and at the same time criticizes their own 'god' too... Examples of incidents that i came across(and can't bear with) includes Christians going around telling people that only their god is god. All others e.g. Catholic, Halal, Buddist, etc..... are fake & accusing Catholics for praying to a normal human who just so happen to give birth to Jesus Christ!(Though not a catholic here, but i already feel the rudeness in the attitude and the sentence itself too) and many more ridiculously!!! They knocked on my door claiming they want to show me a path to eternity near god... haha.......!!

I seriously find no sense in listening to another single alphabet they are gonna say and just slammed the door in his face. Where the hell can a person who show no respect to others' believes especially to even the mother of the 'god' that they themself worshipped to??? LOL

Animal Rights and Vegetarian Ethics

Some nice fellows post on the net trying to explain and show proven examples/experiments that what they understand from the bible is not what they thought they understand! But look at all these silly questions that they post to rebel back!! Pissed me off...If there are really 'god' , than let me practice those christians' way for this time! I pray that they not to stay in the hell to suffer afterlife but to reincarnate as animals they once look down on and let them realise their mistakes by heart.... :

Meat tastes too good to become a vegetarian.

When we eat meat, we are not breaking any laws.

If everyone becomes a vegetarian, then what will we do with all the farm animals?

  1. Hi, I read your interesting post and like to leave my thoughts for you. And yes, I am a Christ-ian...

    I guess my only point that I will share with you is that God so loved you and me that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
    -John 3:16

    God loves you so much that He gave up His only Son to die for our sins/wrongdoings so that we can be forgiven and be with God in eternity.

    Now stands the decision for you(I assume you are not a Christian yet), whether you choose to believe and accept Jesus.

    You probably won't understand why Christians are so disliked and do you know some even die to tell others about Jesus? But when you experience His love, you will then truly understand why in due time.

    I want to encourage you as you posted before, that we won't know what is happening tomorrow or the day after.

    Who knows whether they will sleep and live to see the new sunrise?
    Who is able to keep his/her possessions and riches when the world is destroyed or when he/she passes on?

    What matters to you today?

    I can be reached at www.bestillandknowthatheisgod.blogspot.com/

    Praying that God speaks to you and that you'll choose Him.

    =)
