The Witch's Corner

Yep. You really have to look at the packaging and ingredients. A lot of the 'healthy' or 'organic' or 'vegetarian' stuff has a ton of crap in it. I'd rather take my chances with burger king lol

A lot people act surprised when they find out that I'm not a vegetarian.

But you are a witch. Isn't eating vegetarian a more enlightened philosophy?

I'm also a pagan. I realize that we're part of the natural cycle of life on this planet. We eat, then we die and other critters snack on us.

The hunting and killing and eating of meat is a spiritual act. And one I take seriously.

I remember a few weeks ago maybe months now but you said you were hanging out with a bunch of witches and they kind of gave you grief for eating meat.

And you explained to them in a nice way your opinion on the matter. Based on what you said, I believe you handled it perfectly .


Also:
about veggie being an enlightened philosophy . You can know truth whether you eat meat or don’t eat meat. It’s what goes out from our mouths that matter.. It’s how we treat others that matter. You can do these things with or without meat. So those who say they are higher moral ground because no meat just need to be quiet.

I deal with a lot of new age Christians you can say who are like bro Jesus didn’t eat meat. He was vegan. Etc.

And while the Bible doesn’t say he had lamb at Passover, it does say he had fish with his disciples after coming back from the dead. He wasn’t like oh guys make me a 5 veggie stew. He says I need to eat let’s cook this fish

I have never had to take an animals life to eat.


So I don’t know what that is like. But it must be very humbling and as you said profoundly spiritual . If you have that mentality that is. Probably scary and maybe even upsetting at times ? (Forgive me if I’m wrong)



When I do eat meat I try to be thankful to the animal that is sustaining me. I often wonder from a spiritual standpoint if we by consuming the dead animal bring it’s life back to it. I don’t know just some thoughts I have had

Oh :(

Your use of emquote is irritating. :P

I have an aversion to self righteousness and those who have an inflated sense of self morality.

That being said, I give equal amounts of grief to both Christians and Witches who want to dictate from their own egos.

As much as Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God and improving one's relationship with God and his fellow man, Jesus was all about the practicality of life. Render unto Caesar. Do what you have to do. Take care of the poor and needy. Now. Not in some future time. Be known by your works.

Jesus was a practical man. He would have eaten the local cuisine.

You know what irritates me? Sandpaper.

Haha, not something I personally buy actually. But someone here enjoys with few condiments. I am no great fan of ol' snouts n hoof sosig, but with the addition of sauces, relishes, additional things and occasionally extra stuff - I consume with gusto.

I'd do the same with a vegetarian hotdog and the result would probably be as you say; can't tell the difference.

But you are probably going to a special reserved location in small corner room of a niche hell realm for purchasing such a thing by choice. :P

Then don't use it for that.

It is.

Very humbling and deeply rewarding and it gives you an appreciation for life and the grand scheme of things. Knowing that that animal gave it's life so that you might eat.

I think everyone who eats meat, especially if you buy it from the grocery store should go get their own at least once.

I willl never forget the Burger King I had on a road trip from Miami to indiana . It was a Burger King on the border of florida and Georgia . It was the best whopper I ever had. It was like restaurant quality. This was 18 years ago.

Now when I try a whopper, I can’t stand it. It’s changed a lot.

But I used to go a lot for my grandpa in his old age he started loving whoppers so I would bring them to him when I would visit him.

You and your wild assumptions ;)

None of the fast food places are the same as when I was a kid.

But how much of that is the change of taste?

I have a feeling STaH doesn't partake in pudding very often.
At least, he shouldn't. How could he!?

Let’s say Jesus was vegan. I agree . if he went somewhere and others came to feed him he would eat it. If the local cuisine was fish . Fish. Meat. Meat. He wouldn’t turn it away.

He would not be like oh no can’t have that. He would be grateful and eat. At least that’s my opinion.

*throws brick at you*

LOL

It's become an overused buzzword in most circles. Just like 'awakening' and lol... woke.
The same types always do this, over use and corrupt original meaning.

Matthew 15:11

“Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”

That settles it for me lol

So watch your mouth and eat that steak :D

Yeah. Way overused. Besides, it's not very practical to be philosophical when your belly is empty and your roof is leaking.

In a non survival situation, I will be honest, I don’t know if I could do it.

If there was pure chaos and all things broke down I probably would have to take a deers life or squirrel to keep going.

But I’m not sure even then…

This is why years ago I was veggie for a long time because I knew I couldn’t do it

Care to explain?

With the way things are going in the world, a lot of people will have to make some hard choices about such things soon.

Well, then!

(*sets down his wine glass*)

I’ll just see myself to the door.

.

LOL

You aren't going anywhere. :D

I am about to eat some pudding right now !

But maybe pudding means something different than I’m realizing ?

Like rice pudding . Thick. Tasty. Yum.

What kind of wine ?

I got this three blend that’s pretty good right now

I will say

If society breaks down

There’s no such thing as a vegan !

multilol :D

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

Also. Oh dear.
