A similar project was considered in my old stomping grounds.
The adults prevailed. ;-)

i've never seen charlotte's web, but i could name dozens of shows and movies with animals in which i have cried. i even sobbed when i watched Free Willy. if i had my way, no living creature would suffer or die like in the Garden of Eden.

IIRC, man became a meat eater after Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Could be wrong though.

I like animals and stuff too. When I fish. I cut them up and I feel kind of bad for them. I cut them up nevertheless. Catfish for example get a nail through the head the filleted on the stump.
They roamed most of north America only a few hundred years ago.
So did the many other animals, who are now practically extinct.
Perhaps one day you'll be reincarnated as one of those creatures, and you can see how life is when your kind are hunted down by helicopter (or other more effective means of aerial flight in the future)...

What about if a confused and misguided guy goes in a liquor store and kills someone in a moment of bad judgement.
Life penalty. As far as the death penalty for moms, is that what you support?

No, you have it right. Thing is, that Garden of Eden wasn't necessarily within this realm, nor on this physical world.

Think about this. They were naked before the fall. If they hadn't fallen it would always be nice out and the women would always be naked. Damn you Adam.
was it a better world then or were we blissfully ignorant? i know the music was better. :)
I remember it as both - forgive the paradox. WOW, the music was SO great!

Please give us all YOUR definition of "a truly spiritual person" if you would.
One who has forsaken material desires and devoted him or herself to seeking communication with God through various techniques including prayer and meditation, as well as the rejection of any animal flesh for food.

Perhaps you could cure your seemingly irrational hysteria concerning this matter by spearheading a project to repopulate wolves in your area. They roamed most of north America only a few hundred years ago.
Wolf populations increased because they had a larger food supply. White man's intruduction of small pox wiped out 90% of the native populations. There is speculation that this is why there were so many buffalo on the pains, their prime preditor had died off.
No, you have it right. Thing is, that Garden of Eden wasn't necessarily within this realm, nor on this physical world.
O K there FL. LOL
Pardon me if I consider your 'spiritual musings' with a grain of salt.
I've read a lot of what you've put forward about 'spirituality' and as much work as I need I can still tell that on such matters you are as lost as a goose in a blizzard.
No offense. ;-)

And if they hadn't succombed to tempation they wouldn't have known lust.
Yes, God's manifest glory in the Garden and on Adam and Even must have been ... glorious.

I hunt and kill coyotes: canis lupis vs. canis latrans, one's bigger and one's smaller. There's a reason the wolves were exterminated from the lower 48 states: they're KILLERS of livestock and people.

If there truly was a single man named Adam (which there wasn't according to the actual Hebrew texts), and there was just one female named Eve, did Cain bang his mom, sisters, and/or daughters to make a bunch of babies? Where'd WE come from then if he didn't?

I support killing wolves from the air if wildlife biologists say to thin them out. I'd volunteer to pull the trigger on 1,000 wolves if given the opportunity.

When you become born again by the Holy Spirit AND I can know in my heart I'm recommitted to serving the truth with all my heart, soul and strength - then let's have a serious discussion. ;-)
It's pointless until then. You just make it up as you go.

and it would be a different matter if it were a clean kill every time rather than shooting the poor things in the back causing them to suffer for however long. i realize i'm being idealistic, but it does seem to me that's a particularly horrific method.

One time years ago I had a dog appear in the middle of the desert who led me to an Indian reservation as night was falling when I was on foot and hopelessly lost with no natural bearings to guide me. I do not doubt animals are highly intelligent, and are more compassionate and caring than most humans.
