If so, God didn’t make “unspeakable horrors,” but amazing creatures, and humans messed things up.<br /><br />My dog could probably rip off my face if he wanted to, but I do not think he is an unspeakable horror. I do not find my friends or family members unspeakable horrors either, even though they could possibly murder me someday.<br /><br />It seems like he doesn’t have a problem with the creatures themselves, but with the violence they are capable of, and violence/death = evil. Looks like he’s trying to make another “If God existed then evil wouldn’t exist, therefore God does not exist” argument.<br /><br />Also, PETA and other animal rights people are against killing animals because they feel pain and because they believe it is unnecessary, not because they are alive. The same reasoning is used in animal welfare laws. That’s why I can fry an ant under a magnifying glass or boil a living lobster in a pot (since there is no solid proof invertebrates feel pain like vertebrates – they have different nervous systems) and not get arrested, but not stick an iguana or puppy in the oven. <br /><br />Not that I’m a PETA member or anything. I eat meat and own many animal “slaves.” ;)Rawrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884894273171569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226805636012568940.post-58207114412377559762009-09-03T19:48:05.224-07:002009-09-03T19:48:05.224-07:00Check out my newest post, rat.

Mixpod is a particularly annoying service because even when you elect a non-loop playing option, it still persists anyway...<br /><br />So, to solve that technical problem, I'll probably just upload it through something else.<br /><br />Speaking of which, check out John's blog. I find it eerie he uploaded some music using the same service, out of perhaps thousands, if not millions of others.Truth Be Toldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054029140219121029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226805636012568940.post-82955680206863234912009-09-03T09:16:04.727-07:002009-09-03T09:16:04.727-07:00Alright, but it'd be interesting to see what y...Alright, but it'd be interesting to see what you think of the "real" issues Loftus and Holding are writing about.<br /><br />They both do know a few things we don't, so I wouldn't be writing either of them off.<br /><br />I imagine you did have a few things to say at the blog, before it all got deleted. ;-)<br /><br />BTW, is there a way to not have to listen to the song every single time I visit, other than clicking on it, or turning the speakers off every time?ismellarathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798650524118603772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226805636012568940.post-39117147378270203092009-09-03T06:22:57.213-07:002009-09-03T06:22:57.213-07:00I didn't make that song.
