None of them grant an "exempt[ion]" from karma "for frogs insects and birds and ants that die in the clearing of land".

Interesting that none of those verses explicitly state your assertion and that you've taken several verses out of context in order to try to prove your point. Fundamentalist Christians do the same. They twist and contort them in all manner in order to try to extract their desired meaning. Are you not doing the same?

You find fault where there is no fault, these verse,s where close at hand, but I am not going to go through a million verse,s to satisfy your curiosity.

You can go through the entire Vedanta teachings, and in the end your conclusion will be the same as mine,....but I am not going to do your home work for you.

Your approach to the spiritual understanding is full of fault finding, and insincerity, so off you go and eat your meat, your free do do as you please.

Persons who are on the spiritual path of purification and enlightment, do not eat flesh, it is low class and destroys the chances of making spiritual advancement.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while...why do you accuse people of having a fault finding attitude (as if it is a bad thing - often it isn't) when you possess precisely the same attitude when it comes to discussing science??? 😕

Probably one of your most well thought out and enlightened rebuttals yet...congratulations!

It is let down only by the trifling observation that it completely fails to answer my contention and adds zero to the discussion. Nice ad hominem though...you're getting better.

*edit* this post applies to your latter also.

You come into the spirituality forum, only to spout all your science goobly gook, but i am one that does not accept it, you are a dumb ass, not being rude, but thats what you are!

Evidently you don't have the verses to back it up. I "find fault" in your posts because there is fault to be found. Here you've made an assertion that you evidently can't back up. Are you really so arrogant that you expect people to immediately recognize you as the font of all knowledge and to bow down to your proclamations? If you really understood Vedanta half as well as you seem to put on, you wouldn't have to "go through a million verses" in order to back up your assertion. Instead you show yourself as a prideful poser who starts spewing venom whenever you are challenged.

Also you often make assumptions and attack those assumptions in your posts. Yet another thing you have in common with fundamentalist Christians. Here's a prime example: I'm a vegetarian.

I don't think any of the posts I made which prompted your claim I'm a dumb ass actually contained any science in them.

Based on the evidence of his postings, that is exactly right,

I clearly answered your original question, but because you are a dumb ass, you have not the intelligence to understand, so go back and eat some more meat, and destroy some more brain cells....good luck with that.

Isnt it funny how when one dumb ass speaks out, then all the other dumb ass,s show up, and come to his defence...its so funny.

So if I “looked” at an animal in the slaughter house, I will see that it can “smell the death and fear” ? Have you ever done this in a slaughter house?

Once again:

Also you often make assumptions and attack those assumptions in your posts. Yet another thing you have in common with fundamentalist Christians. Here's a prime example: I'm a vegetarian.

You're really kidding yourself if you think you answered my original question. Based on your earlier post, it would seem that you recognize this at least on some level.

You should really explore other flavors of Vedanta. Clearly the one you currently practice isn't working for you.

You are a master of irony.
