Sounds to me like you are confusing ideas with personhood. There was no attack on your value as a human being, or yossarian's, or anybody else's for that matter. I'm truly sorry if it appeared that way to you, but I am not going to apologize for an intention I didn't have.
You have said multiple times in this thread that you want to "understand" how a spiritually-inclined person can eat meat and be O.K. with it. If you are willing to offer some thoughts are to how this has become more understandable to you somewhere in the 104 pages of this thread, I am interested to hear them. Otherwise, I stand by my statement to the effect that meat eating appears to be "not understandable" to you.
That is not a personal attack. If you truly believe that meat-eating is "not understandable" from a spiritual perspective, then you are perfectly entitled to your belief.
