  1. Yes, it's good manners to make sure the guests' dietary needs are met.

  4. I'd accommodate them if they are Christian, but if they're not, they get what I give them.

    That's not quite true. Much of that is actually an oft-repeated myth fostered by activist vegeterians (not to impy that you are one; you certainly are not).

    In reality, human physiology is neither strict carnivour nor strict herbovour. Humans are omnivours. A human's teeth and stomachs are designed to process both animal and vegetable products.

    I know we are not herbivores - but we were made originally not to eat meat - meat was only eaten after the Flood. I think the fact man is not like a carnivore is significant.

    Being an omnivore is a result of sin - eating meat after the Flood.

    And it is true what I said about the intestines. The human intestines are quite long and meat putrefies in there and creates toxins.

    Note: I am not endorsing this website but I believe the above are facts.

    If people knew what happens when animals are slaughtered in factory farming (not only the cruelty as to how they are kept but how they often killed) and how unsanitary it is, not to mention the lack of good inspections, they might not want meat.

    At any rate, being vegetarian is a good alternative. If I ate meat, I would buy only free-range meat. When I buy eggs, I buy only eggs from cage-free chickens. I do believe it's unbiblical to treat animals in a cruel way.

    I can't conceive of all the domestic animals herded by people before the Flood and not eating meat. It just doesn't make sense. Why herd all those animals? Was it just to keep man busy?

    Why did meat all of a sudden become acceptable?

    Talk about cruelty to animals. There is nothing more cruel that the natural predation of animals against each other for survival, Just watch a few lions bringing down a wildebeast for the meat!!!! They start eating it whilst it is still breathing!

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Could it be that sheep were kept for their wool? Many people have herds of sheep just for that purpose.

    Because God said so??
