Obviously traditional African religions aren't treated with as much respect as Western religions? 

That's common sense sweetie. 

If white people sacrificed animals it would be looked down upon as much as it is with Africans. They're not saying the people practicing the religion are savage, just the ideology. I don't see it as savage, i like witchcraft but if someone doesn't like it then so what? Move on, salty pickle

But they can't really respect you nor your practices when their religion forbids them to. So it doesn't really make sense, if someone believes it's twisted and wrong to make spells and sacrifice animals to try to harm other people, make them ill or whatever, that is their belief. And you said every belief should be respected, so that includes their intolerance towards witchcraft.

I don't find any neutral source about whether witchcraft is recognized as official religion in the Western countries. 

 

I'm not sure if you know where you are, but you're in a Lady Gaga forum arguing with a gay person about why I choose to be respectful towards Christians and why I associate with them despite our difference in opinion about my religion...I don't know about you but I know several Christians who love and accept gay people despite what their religion says about it and the same can be said about other religions no?

It's not my job to do the research for your sweetie pie. The United States does not have an official religion.

First Amendment of the US Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There are instead acknowledgements of certain religions in government policies, and practices and are protected by hate speech acts and tools provided for to service members/prisoners/ and government employees to practice.

I insist killing plants for eating in ok but because it's the way to eat that causes the least harm and pain. Whether in terms of animals or plants, eating a piece of meat leads to more death, so you should make the choice that leads to the least death. 

And baiut animals killing plants, we breed animals to eat them, meaning that more plants are killed then would've been if we didn't breed them just to kill them.

I understand that your point of view is leading to something that is more efficient. However, the question here is more about whether or not something is right or wrong?

People are so butthurt over some chickens being killed as if they're human beings. Vegans are so hypocrite to eat, or rather not eat anything animal related because "it's better for the planet, for animals and humans" but you're sitting on this forum on the internet and a computer/phone which requires usage of electricity. Obviously you're not 100% vegan.

Then I guess the answer is that eating plants and being vegan, while it may have problems, is at this time the rightist thing to do because it causes the least death. In the future, if we develop some way to reduce death further, then we can examine that and go thru from there.

I know the definition. I'm just saying that vegans like to act holy and look down upon meat eaters when they can do so much more for what they stand for.

Plants CANNOT feel pain, they can't think and don't suffer. I'm kiiiiiiing at people here saying that we shouldn't eat plants

Plants do not feel pain, even in the article you linked it expressly said scientists don't say plants feel pain. There is a difference between being able to react to stimuli and being able to feel pain.

Farm animals are bred for the purposes of us eating them  Most of the crops we grow are used to feed the animals we are breeding for human consumption! There would be far less animals eating far less plants if we stopped breeding them to eat!

It seems none of you understand the definition of "pain." Pain is defined as a signal of present or impending tissue damage affected by a harmful stimulus, and thus is experienced by almost all multicellular organisms including plants.

I would also question why AB's behaviour here is seen as so deplorable, evil and unforgivable when the majority of Americans support industries that lead to chickens being treated in ways that are not that different and are often worse.

 

Everyone is a hypocrite. There is a selective outrage about the horrible deaths of human beings just depending on their location on this planet. We witnessed that many times on GGD, one could argue that vegans don't put as much passion and raise voice for all the unjust deaths of humans all over the world. Is that hypocrisy? Child labour, slavery? Is there equal amount of outrage among vegetarians/vegans? 

 

The food industry is not the same in every country and it could be discussed separately, but instead it's always brought up only in discussions about fur or AB killing chickens for her magic spells, just to call out other people.

Well u got me there, I'm not perfect. But when I get my solar panels next year and my electricity is 100% clean, I'm bumping this thread.

DALLAS--Research scientists at Baylor Medical Center have proven that plants, including vegetables, feel pain when subjected to trauma such as being yanked out of the ground, peeled, cooked, and eaten. "Veggies and plants initiate a massive hormone and chemical barrage internally when they suffer any kind of injury," says professor Barry Lindzer. "This response is akin to the nerve response and endorphin release when an animal is injured. We cannot ignore the similarities."

Very condescending and rude, so stopped reading right there. I noticed you do this with other users too, so bye.

 

also don't call people you don't know "swetie pie", it's not cute.

That's such a generalisation though 

You can't say that all vegans think they're better that meat eaters, there are definitely some, but saying all of them do this is plain delusional and **** argument
