Why would these things be equal?

In India, cows are revered as living deities. I know I don’t worship my dog. While both mindsets lead to a revulsion at the idea of eating said meat, I don’t think we’re talking about the same emotions at all.

I don’t think we’re talking about the same emotions at all.

Yes, we are.

Love and respect.

I know I don’t worship my dog.

So you would be ok with me killing it and serving it to you? (no, I never would)

Serving my dog? No.

Serving a farm raised dog intended for consumption like a pig or cow? Yeah I’d try it.

My personal oddities aside, I still disagree. I don’t think worshipping a holy entity is at all the same as loving your pet. Maybe it is for you, but I know I don’t feel commonality between what I feel for my pet dog and what I feel for God.

For example, I give my pet treats and teach him to do tricks. My relationship with God is one of respect and wondering. Would you say that’s similar or different?

Serving my dog? No.

Why not?

See comments like this leave people concerned. What are you attempting to say with this?

Are you questioning why I would have issues eating an animal I love after it has been murdered and cooked? Or is this some edgy bullshit argument to try to prove that you’re right?

Are you questioning why I would have issues eating an animal I love

No, I was asking you to actually say it.
