I am sadly not surprised by the #religous #morons trying to defend the indefensible here.

"We only eat fertilised eggs!". Well no, less than 20% of Catholics worldwide have access to grocery stores that separate out the eggs. And that certainly wasn't the case when the rule was made, was it?

But these people with serious #MentalHealth issues (the religious) don't see that. They have drunk the Kool-Aid.
Education is key. We need to educate people and ban children from joining a religion. It is literally (and all to often, physically) #childabuse

A friend of mine is lovely. However, she's Catholic and was telling me that her son (about 15 or 16) has started to refuse to go to church, saying, "It's bollocks", and she told me she's "disappointed" and tries to persuade him.
I had to stop myself from saying, "Well, he's got a point, love."

Unlaid eggs are jewish delicacy as well, though no longer allowed to be sold in Canada. I grew up on it, it was my favorite part of my mom's Chicken Soup.
They have a bouncy and almost chewy texture, very different to laid eggs.

And this speaks of the difference of kosher laws for laid which are NOT considred meat, and these unlaid eggs which ARE considered meat.

@juglugs I'm honestly surprised Catholics haven't created a market for eggs that have only been laid by virginal chickens.

People: hey wait, what are you eating there?

Catholic Church: oh this? Certainly not meat.

P: that’s a beaver….

CC: no no my dear child, this is a fish!

P: still a beaver.

CC: but it lives in water and is a really good swimmer!

P: it’s got tits.

@juglugs the Catholic Church has many many problems, but if you're going to criticize them, a straw man argument is a pretty weak way to do it.

@juglugs Church is still a thing? I grew up with a generation of Irish kids discovering the church had literally murdered and raped thousands - scandal after scandal constantly in the news. Zero believers in that generation that I know of due to this. Bin it.

@juglugs

As far as I know, eggs were forbidden, that's why during carnival week, at least here in Catalonia, it's traditional to eat omelettes and even a special kind of sausage that has eggs as an ingredient and is not eaten during the rest of the year. You are not supposed to eat eggs till Easter, that's the reason for all the egg related traditions.

@juglugs TWW: The moment is vast and your place within it is connected with all people from the time you breathe the same air and drink the same water as the very first. *Wether a chicken and egg or a tree and forest the answer is in unspoken definitions. A dinosaur may lay an egg and a tree may be a tiny sapling. Humility is the key to understanding why people find strength in faith. Generosity of not only wealth but also compassion for others allows you understanding. OWOP
