In today's paper: vegetarians are "ANTI GOD", and people should "repent" and vote Republican.
Edited on Wed Dec-02-09 05:42 PM by bbernardini
From the comment section on this page:

http://www.dailylocal.com/articles/2009/12/02/opinion/srv0000006971813.txt

The samples referred to in my subject line:

" Sandy, let us not forget the REASON the animals were put on the earth to begin with- NOT to watch over, but to EAT.

Maybe some of these outspoken ANTI GOD people would (not) agree with me, but I do believe the bible made THAT clear. "


" - Tex "This was not what they expected." . . . Change we can believe in, yes we can. All you dopes who voted for the liberal socialists last fall? Told ya so. Repent, and vote Republican, or be lost. "

Welcome to southeastern Pennsylvania.

1. Well the bible says "dominion"
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. - Genesis 1:26

Dominion means that animals are our subjects. Kind of a King/Subject relationship if you will.

Now how many Kings eat their subjects?

If a King did eat their subjects, what would you think of that King?

Granted - I am an Atheist and a Meat Eater - and I know full well I'm a hypocrite

6. Even more amusing
The bible tells Adam and Eve to be vegetarian:

Genesis 1:29 - "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." (for meat = for food)

Genesis 1:30 - "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." (sounds like man and animal were treated equally here--both instructed to eat plants "for meat"/for food)

That's KJV, no less. Quote that to the bible-thumping meat-eaters and watch their heads explode :evilgrin:

3. What the fuck is "Tex" not getting from Obama that he got from Bush or would get from McCain?

Assholes have no idea what the fuck a "liberal socialist" is.

8. Here's what Tex said:
"A year ago, many of my friends were looking for change. Now that a year has passed, they have all removed their Obama/Biden stickers. Two have lost their jobs and another one may lose his job. This was not what they expected."

Seriously. Those jobs might actually come with O in a few years. The investments have been put down...if they come to anything we'll see.
