No meat today

No meat!?
Typical religion, it's not happy unless everyone else is miserable.

Already had a bacon roll before work today, does bacon count?*


Pretty sure I've read a quote from Jesus where he says "bacon is OK".

I am religious and very much believe in God, but i don't believe in any of this diet restrictions non-sense from some religions. A vast majority was brought in because meat back then was very suspect. But nowadays it's completely clean if you're a bit careful.

Before religion would you have done all these things and not questioned it? People develop their own morality without the need for religion. Ridiculous argument, sorry dude.

Define 'before religion''......do you have any evidence that humanity was equally and as sophisticated in it's morality prior to any form of religion or similar sociological ideal?

Or is it possible that religion and the subsequent influences it has had over the millennia in it's myriad forms has helped to form what we would consider modern moral constructs, while people do develop their own morality, how much influence does culture and the innate influences and constructs that created and developed that culture have on the individual and their development of such morality?

Is it really so easy to dismiss religion of whatever type from that equation?

Of course not, and I have actually considered this point, and think that it's very valid; religion has undoubtedly shaped our morality, but would it not also be fair to speculate that any religious morality would have to have come from a non-religious morality which was then used by religion?

I think it's fair to say that there must have been a kind of zero point where religion did not exist.
