In regards to eating meat

And yes, it does come down to splitting hairs IF one is insisting on a doctrine of "harmlessless". What does that even mean? What seems obvious to you, is not obvious to others. Humans have been arguing about this for at least 6000 years.

Thank you for the link to the domes. I will check it out.

As I said many times, I am doing the best I can. Imagine an evolved society, an enlightened society. Now draw a line from where you are now to that society. Start taking steps toward it.

Just because I am not able to EVERYTHING to stop causing harm, does not mean that I shouldn't do SOMETHING, or whatever I can.

And, honestly, all these arguments about microbes seems a stretch. What can I do about microbes other than what I am doing: cleaning up my body, my life, and my environment, and having the intention not to harm.

On the other hand, I can do a whole lot for the suffering of animals, which is very obvious because the animals themselves are screaming at us to show us what we are doing. That is not to say that I impose anthropomorphic qualities on them. I just think the message is there and obvious. I'm sorry if this message is not obvious to you or others. Why do you think whales beach themselves?

Sorry, but are you kidding me? You have expressed a completely false understanding of how your body works.

You have lots of microbes, parasites, and "bugs". In fact, 90% of the cells that are found in and on your body are not human cells. They are bacterial cells. Without these microbes, you could not live. Your life is directly dependent upon them.

I'm actually very educated on the subject of nutrition, health, and physiology.

But to answer your point. I seem to be having a problem expressing myself, and I am not being careful to choose words wisely. I was answering your post about "bugs" in the hair. But beyond that, and the physical 3D world of physiology (and yes, symbiosis is there with microbes, bacteria), there is thought, intention, and action. In this way we evolve. If I live my life without intentionally killing, do you not see that this will have results? Those results will be added to the sum of light in the world, helping the species, the planet, and the universe evolve. This seems like hyperbole but it really isn't. Everything effects everything else.
