We are like big bullies who the animals are slaves.
So you're saying Christianity = cruelty to animals? That's absurd! We have a world to feed here, and the poor starving children in Africa, for example, can't be picky about what they eat. If they can get their hands on a chicken or even a rat or a bird, it's going to give them life. As I said, I don't think it's right to pen up animals their whole lives, but it's a necessity. I doubt any of us builds or makes progress in the world with the intent of destroying animals...we're doing what we need to do, and that is the way of it. Animals are not our slaves, but we put them to good use. Sure I eat meat (and I have no regrets for doing so) but it's not like I go around kicking puppies and pulling the wings off of dragonflies.
This is a moot point. This has nothing to do with the motion picture we are supposed to be discussing in this topic, by the way. This is a tangent that's just going to erupt into a pointless debate over things two parties cannot agree on. I suggest we leave this where it is now and continue on the topic at hand.
