Islam and Judaism and Christianity are big animal killers.....................and they are responsible for billions of animals being slaughtered every year. (and they talk of love and kindness)...........their talk is not matched by their deeds..

Right, man is not considered a mere animal. In the Bible, man is set apart as being made in the image of God, therefore, it would be sinful.
However, what about you atheists? What if a human being, being the glorified animals they are, could be made to taste like bacon? Would you eat it?

We are not Janists (they are crackpots) who are seeking attention by wearing masks so they do not breath in anything.
Originally posted by DasaBut surely, if life is precious, then all life is precious? Why wouldn't you wear a mask? Without it you eat about a pound or two of bugs (453 to 907 grams) every year of your life.

Does your religion teach that some life forms are less important and only deserving of minimal consideration?

Even under Moses law certain bugs were allowed to be eaten for food.
Leviticus 11:22
Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.
John the Baptist in the New testament ate certain bugs.]
Now John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
(Matthew 3:4)

In Christianity, our God has given us the freedomYour God. Sort of appropriated and not anybody else's God? Can't make up your mind if you are a polytheist (they have their God) or just exclusive (they only get to have demons). Judaism is mostly polytheistic, with a tribal god and various lesser gods and the gods of other people like Baal. More recent versions seem to have stopped worrying too much about defining God at all, which seems prudent. Only Islam, as far as I can see, acknowledges that all the major religions (including Hindu) worship the same God in their various ways by virtue of separate revelations. Which makes Islam the only consistent and logical monotheist faith.

I am certain that you would be thankful, if I were to fight to defend your life in the event that ISIS were about to chop your head off. 😏
I think you are a blind duped pig headed brainwashed one track mind assshole but I would still stop the Jihadists from taking off your alleged head.
