And due to its bizarre focus on lifting the killing of animals to a sin and on the false notion of living many lives, and lack of focus on God and God's plan for man and the very real notion of repentance and salvation, He rejected it as another example of the folly of man. By not focusing on reality, it's a lot of effort for nothing. But then, man is pretty darned good at that.
Even without using scriptural reference, a child can understand that killing the cow is wrong, and after the killing process the flesh has to be kept refrigerated, and they inject chemicals into it to stop it becoming grey and unsightly.
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Text 12 it says:
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings. nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
Also Cht 2 verse 13:
"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death, A sober person is not bewildered by such a change."
Also Cht 2 verse 16:
"Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the non existent material body there is no endurance, and of the eternal soul there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both."
The church says that the soul is created at the birth time, but this is clearly incorrect, and the soul enters the womb through the particle of semen from the man, and even medical science will confirm this.
