PETA = Hypocrites

[Farbin Kaiber]

In your words, encouraged, not mandated.

I believe in the concept of the New Testament, meaning a replacement for an Old Testament. A testament, as you know is a contract...

So, if a "New" contract has replaced the "Old" contract, then, as you know, in the context of legal contractual obligations, a new contract voids the previous, replaced contract.

Yes, the old contract required adherence to the ENTIRE Moasic/Abrahamic/Levitical Law, but God, YHWH, El Shaddai, elohim, etc. began the New Testament with the death of his Son because He knew that it was impossible to follow the law He set forth. The only way to have met the requirements of the Old Testament would have been to follow EVERY law, personally, perpetually, perfectly, without deviation in your mind or heart from birth keep everything written in God’s law and not only the ten commandments but the whole book of God, and just one tiny deviation from that will bring God’s wrath. One misstep was as bad as breaking the WHOLE law.

Thus, HE sent His Son to fulfill the law, so that a New contract could be written.

The interpretation of the aforementioned "New" contract, or testament requires simply one thing, Faith in Him. He already is surrounded with perfection, the real thing He wants is faith/trust/belief, it's something He cannot create, it is simply something that comes of free will. The angels he is surrounded with are perfect, but they have no free will, their will is of Him.



Also, Despise ≠ Hate.

Good thing I don't associate with any organized religion, I believe in the Christ, but I'm not a Catholic, Pentecostal, Protestant, Baptist, etc. I read the Bible, but do not use it as a tool to mandate others behavior. I do my thing, and openly speak of what it is, but I don't profess to force it upon anyone else. I simply speak my opinion on what my interpretation of the text says.

There is a difference between faith and religion. My beliefs are not used for tax exemptions, deductions, etc. I don't go out trying to convert people.

I do not identify as "religious" but acknowledge my faith.

Tell me how that is hypocritical.

Nice try though.

Well, since you said you DON'T associate yourself with an organized religion, then you are less of a hypocrite than those that do. If believing in Christ means selectively agreeing with some of his views, then we all believe in Christ, but if believing in Christ means believing everything he has said and done according to the gospels, then yeah, you are a hypocrite. Because there are very few people that live life as Christ encouraged. Expressing hatred towards a group of people that are outspoken about animal violence tells me you are not one of those few.

You have faith in a deity and adhere to a holy book, you're religious.

Carry on.

They are no more hypocritical than any person who associates themselves with any organized religion...Farbin.

Don't you just despise hypocrites? Take a look at these stats from PETA, listed on the State of Virginia website. They euthanized almost 90% of the animals left in their care. Out of the 1877 that came in, and 1675 of those were killed.

Besides, they give the best protests.

I'll say it. Who fucking cares?

I surely don't. I'm not sure why PETP (People for the Ethical Treatment of People) hasn't gained more traction. It would seem we ought to concentrate our efforts on the mistreatment of our own species before we move on to lesser species...

Oh noes, they killed little fluffy...................while ignoring the horrific conditions most animals live before they make it to your table.

"Euthanasia is the kindest gift to a dog or cat unwanted and unloved."

"We do not advocate "right to life" for animals."

"In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether."

All of the above quotes were spoken by Ingrid Newkirk, President of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Your statistic is from 2010, I'm speaking of 2012. I didn't analyze anything related to your old, outdated link. Also, I didn't post anything from a "side" based website, I used an .gov site to prevent any sided arguments.

You're missing the fact that your criticism is a rehashed argument that has been made for several years. I'm not disputing percentages.

If you had actually read the article you would learn there's a bit more to the statistic than your criticism would otherwise indicate.

Oh buuuuurn

I'm no fan of PETA but your criticism is really low grade analysis of this statistic.

They seem to be all up in arms about food resource animals, but when it comes to pets, I guess they think they are disposable.


A big FUCK YOU to Sarah McLachlan, no?

I didn't realize anyone took PETA (or squidmaster for that matter (or tjts since he'll likely post something stupid in here)) seriously. They seem like sort of a universal joke.

Hey! I happen to be an avid and contributing member of People Eating Tasty Animals, and I take it quite seriously!
