In regards to eating meat

Do we know for sure that he was happy about the surprise party? Not everyone likes them.

That's a good point but if that were the case, then surely DW would have mentioned it in the book.

excuse me, but this is the point where discussing this with you becomes ridiculous.

?? Because I disagree with you? I have explained my points very clearly. Perhaps you don't understand my points? A discussion does not become ridiculous just because we disagree.

Anyway, you haven't addressed my points. It's easier to say discussion is 'ridiculous' than to address each point I have made.

you have just introduced a major, major differentiation into more than half of the bodies that the creatures on this planet inhabit.

To say that emotions are 'in potentiation' isn't any more of a differentiation than lack of sentience (self-awareness) is a differentiation.

Neither conflicts with what Ra has told us.

there is no such exception was expressed in the material we are studying.

You are seeing it as an exception. I don't see it that way at all. I see it as a natural progression as entities become more self-aware.

no, former is not based on 'rock solid facts'.

Yes, it is. It is a rock-solid FACT that animals feel pain. They have pain receptors. They have nervous systems. Plants have neither.

you see the animal and you interpret its reactions to be negative. the party you are opposing can easily argue that your interpretation is as good as their interpretation. it has also not been 'proven' that animals feel emotions too.

Are we living on the same planet? Ask anyone with a cat or dog whether their pet feels emotion. It's obvious.
