'Should' is referring to the people who have been wronged, but are oblivious to it. Rather than be ignorant of this information, OP 'should' tell them...

That sounds terrible. Do you still work there?
September 13, 2018 at 22:32
This is a false dichotomy. When black people were enslaved, were the only two options these: 1. Live and be exploited 2. Never live at all Absolutely ...

I hope you realize that being an omnivore (as humans) is a choice. You do know that right? We choose to live in an omnivorous way, when we don't have ...

Actually no. At birth, female chickens are de-beaked (with no anesthetic). Male pigs get their testicles removed (with no anesthetic). Pigs get their ...

We no longer need to eat animals to survive. And we really never did, as even our closest ancestors (gorillas, chimpanzees, etc) are 95% vegetarians (...
September 13, 2018 at 20:38
The simple fact is, cows, chickens and pigs have sentience. Of course they do not have the same intelligence level as us, but that is irrelevant to wh...

95% of people on this planet do not need to eat animals to survive. We have plant-based alternatives, and many of the poorest countries survive on thi...
September 12, 2018 at 23:55
I think the real question is, what is holding you back from revealing the truth to the people that should know? If someone was getting cheated on, irr...
September 12, 2018 at 23:17
Not in remotely the same way that religious people do. Atheists generally base their beliefs on scientific fact and research. And their beliefs can ch...
September 12, 2018 at 23:14
Yet you haven't cleared it up at all. So apparently God does not act through people, since you weren't successful, correct? Also, if God acts through ...
June 23, 2018 at 13:07
I appear more concerned with some type of clarity, while you appear more concerned with some type of diversion and deflection of responsibility for yo...
June 23, 2018 at 13:01
lol....? I assume you're making a joke here.
June 23, 2018 at 12:59
If this is God's thought process, he is unbelievably ignorant. God can inspire a book which he has wrote through prophets like Moses, and say things l...
June 23, 2018 at 12:59
If God cannot communicate to the humans he has created, in a concise and understood way, then he is not all-powerful. Also, people are not misinterpre...
June 23, 2018 at 12:55
I never stated belief in the claim to be false. I originally stated, " I do not believe a God exists ". This is NOT the same as, " I believe NO God ex...
June 06, 2018 at 01:06
You first say the Bible endorses slavery. The bible is word inspired by God, which means God endorses slavery. You say the Bible can't be used to just...
June 06, 2018 at 01:02
Which is why I can start off the statement with "IF ". IF God exists, etc... I am not making claims about a God I believe exists. I am making claims a...
June 06, 2018 at 00:51
What are you talking about? Explain to me how the burden of proof rests on the person who does not believe the person making the claim. You seem to no...
June 06, 2018 at 00:47
What are you even saying? Just because God commands something, does not mean it is correct or moral. What qualities about God am I sure about? Jesus C...

Look up the terms yourself, or I can link you here: https://www.thoughtco.com/atheist-vs-agnostic-whats-the-difference-248040 Agnostic/Gnostic are per...

I don't believe that, as meat isn't some magical pill you can just take and fix everything with. Why is why I asked... The deflection is real. Philoso...
June 05, 2018 at 19:37
But shouldn't an all-knowing God understand that people in the future would have treatment to many diseases? Instead of saying 'Homosexual is punishab...

How convenient of an answer for you. Claim that factory farming is immoral, but refuse to answer whether or not you are continually contributing to it...
June 03, 2018 at 10:15
Ok, sure. But until you have created that animal utopia, you would be immoral for eating meat as of right now. Because, by eating meat, you are contri...
June 03, 2018 at 10:12
Quite the opposite. Blaise Pascal said that it is not possible to prove or disprove that God exists. Therefore, it is better to bet that God exists. I...
June 03, 2018 at 10:09
I don't understand what this has anything to do with what I said. If God cleared up the confusion in the Bible from believers interpreting it differen...
June 02, 2018 at 20:13
Do you still eat meat? If so, then saying something is immoral is irrelevant if you are going to continue contributing to the industry that you claim ...
June 02, 2018 at 02:46
Nice article. Do you have the original webpage for this article, or is it only linked to the PDF?
June 02, 2018 at 02:35
Can you be more inaccurate? The percentage of factory farms that hold to these standards, are probably less than 1%. You know very well I was referrin...
June 01, 2018 at 23:33
Enough clarification to not allow different people to interpret things differently. Jesus seemed to make things worse. Telling slaves to obey their ma...
June 01, 2018 at 23:27
Nobody said anything about surviving indefinitely. Let me give you two scenarios. 1. Live in a confined area 99% of your life. That area is where you ...
June 01, 2018 at 06:42
Why? You then rattle on about the general requirements needed by others (not yourself). Why can you not yet afford to? Do you not realize that almost ...

You may have done research, but did you do the proper research that would allow you to get the adequate vitamins and levels you need to be healthy? Ha...

Do you have some kind of disability that makes it unusually difficult to answer a simple question I have asked you? I respond to a vast number of ques...
May 27, 2018 at 22:54
Based on what standard. Have you done the necessary research? Have you talked to a dietician? Have you asked for help from Vegans who have lived healt...
May 27, 2018 at 22:50
This is the same problem I've had with you and Txastopher. You never answer questions. I ask you to clarify something, and you just repeat yourself. I...
May 27, 2018 at 22:01
If you want to comment and jump in to ask about comments I made out of context you don't understand, then you're the one who is doing it wrong. What e...

Other people's actions have an impact on the world around us. You don't live in a vacuum, as your actions and beliefs will also affect the lives of ot...
May 27, 2018 at 20:36
Btw. The last time I responded to you was on page 32, about a week ago. And then you randomly come in, and respond to something I said to other people...
May 27, 2018 at 20:26
That comment was directly toward Baden, not you. So I am not sure why you're responding to a statement I made toward someone else. All my statements w...
May 27, 2018 at 20:19
I never claimed that all animals can feel pain. I stated that all sentient animals can feel pain, which is what the science supports. And the science ...

Tag, you're it.
May 27, 2018 at 07:43
Funny that you were okay posting scientific references and articles when it fit your agenda, but then when I refuted it with an article from Gaverick ...
May 27, 2018 at 07:31
And you still haven't address that your linked 2002 Study was refuted by Gaverick Matheny in 2003. A sentient being of higher consciousness can improv...
May 27, 2018 at 06:18
A plant cannot "want", as it doesn't have a brain to perceive anything. A plant "wants" to survive in the same way bacteria "wants" to survive, yet ne...
May 27, 2018 at 06:00
Because this is what immoral actions are based upon. Causing unnecessary harm. Causing harm to life implies that the life has the capability to percei...

We don't need meat to survive. The Association of UK Dietitians - "British Dietetic Association confirms well-planned vegan diets can support healthy ...

If you hit a rock with a stick, do you also feel the same guilt? Because this is getting a little bit absurd, when you start comparing non-sentient li...

Would you say the same thing applies to a mentally disabled person who cannot ever become an agent, and we could argue has the same mental capacity as...
