    Ew, corpse eating. When will people realise that these disgusting religious practices aren’t okay to talk about in public? Nobody likes your corpse eating cult.

        There’s no way a person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would eat corpses. Not unless they were in a situation of absolute desperation. A person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad, and would just eat plants instead. Even if it cost an extra four dollars per grocery trip.

        Corpse eating happens because of tradition and dogma. Because “that’s the way we’ve always done things.” We indoctrinate children into this blood cult and normalise violence the same way some religions normalise genital mutilation or ritual sacrifice of humans. Hells, the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed, is a ritual sacrifice.

        A religion is not defined only by worship of gods, or else Buddhism would not be a religion. A religion can be defined by dogmatic, ritualised, inhumane practices taught to children from birth in the name of tradition. That’s what carnism is. I’ve never seen a defence of carnism that didn’t speak to some idea of “the natural order” or “tradition” or “the gods made them to be our food”, or some other religious nonsense.

          Can you cite any peer reviewed studies that show scientific thinking necessarily leads away from omnivory?

          Lawl

          person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad

          LMAO

          the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed

          Right, because turkeys are naturally headless and featherless with their wings and legs tied up. Totally no processing going on at all with them

          is a ritual sacrifice

          You don’t kill a live turkey during thanksgiving, it’s not a fucking sacrifice

            I see that you’re only able to argue using words when discussing the Thanksgiving turkey. For which your arguments amount to “but it’s cooked tho” and “but only the consumption of the flesh happens on the day”. Okay, both correct, and both irrelevant. Meanwhile, you’ve responded to all of my core points not with words, logic, or meaning, but with guttural vocalisations of emotion. Thus, I infer that your only argument in favour of the carnist religion is an emotional one, intended not to persuade but to intimidate. So I repeat my claim that no scientifically minded person could agree with your religion.

              Yeah, your other points were so beyond stupid they can only be laughed at

              You’re the kind of vegan people point to when they say all vegans are lunatics with 0 basic brain functionality

                  I never wasn’t insulting them directly, their points are so stupid and ridiculous that I didn’t ever even bother arguing them because that would be a waste of my time

                  Better to point and laugh at the person who refuses to learn than to waste my time trying to teach them

                Okay have fun using insults to compensate for your lack of having any arguments or evidence.

          Science does not produce value judgements.
