This slogan basically advocates that since we have advanced enough to be able to live on other foods apart from meat,

then it is our moral obligation to stop killing animals for food.

Do you agree with this idea?

Is it our moral obligation to embrace veganism / vegetarianism?

Consider this editorial, written by the editorial board of The Denver Post:

"President Barack Obama has requested more than $14 billion to fund the drug war at the federal level in 2009. State and local enforcement costs drive that figure far higher.

Year after year, a few hundred thousand people end up in court and prison as a result of drug crimes. Our overcrowded prisons are just one reason to take another look at some of our drug laws.

Granted, there are still many dangerous drugs out there. Highly addictive drugs like methamphetamine or crack cocaine swept through our nation's cities and suburbs and rural communities like epidemics.

But legions of studies have shown that marijuana isn't addictive.

And as recent U.S. presidents have shown, use of the drug, even when inhaled, doesn't in and of itself ruin a person's chance at achieving full and productive lives. Yes, pot users face risks as potentially as devastating as other drugs. So do drinkers of wine and beer."

In a nut shell:

Nancy Pelosi agreed to add a provision (in the public option health care bill) that would prohibit federal funds from being used for the purchase of plans that cover abortion in a new health care exchange.  Leaving out the amendment would force taxpayers (who are morally against abortions) to subsidize abortion.

Pelosi’s decision to give the anti-abortion lawmakers what they wanted in exchange for their accession to passing the bill.

So..., the question is, should people who are morally against abortions be forced to pay for them?

Alright, so here is the issue at hand:

Some people say that children need a mother and a father to raise us, to give us both viewpoints of gender: masculinity, femininity and all the issues those entail. However, there are others who say that gender does not matter when it comes to child rearing; two women (or two men)  can do just as well as a man and a woman.

What is your take on this issue?

or if you have any other religion, why is yours the best explination

This is difficult to create in a 2 sided debate (and to make this post neutral), but first I'll try and explain the question.

Let's look at this from the point of view that you are about to start a religion. You do not believe in it, nor do you believe in God but you see the world around you in despair and want to make some rules. However you feel people will not take these rules seriously and need a way to enforce them. This enforcer is God.

Forgetting whether or not you believe in God, what is God's role to humans? After creating us the universe (or not) is the concept or belief in God what is needed to keep people in order? Let's say there was no God. When going against the rules of the religion how would you be punished? Jail? Community work? Parole? Fines? Or a limitless amount of pain for an infinite amount of time? (to burn in hell). Is that a much larger deterrent than something imagineable and altogether not so terrible? For a follower, is God's existance much more influential than the country's police and courts?

So to get to the original point, should the idea of God be promoted whether or not you believe in Him? Even if He IS a lie, would it be better to to have this lie promote morals or if not God, some kind of 'myth'? Whether real or not, is belief in God for the GREATER GOOD?

Two sides are - Yes, belief in the existance of God whether God exists or not has MORE benefits than lack of belief in God.

                       - No, belief in the existance of God whether God exists or not has LESS benefits than lack of belief in God.

P.S. - Don't make this an argument about religions. This is purely about the belief in God and not different religions beliefs and opinions in God. No talk on Christianity, Islam, Hinduism - as that is NOT the question.

I believe that many of the new laws and bills that Obama is imposing on the American people are socialistic.  The only thing he is helping is the American people into a economic and moral downward spiral that is going to anihilate the America we know and love.  This started a long time ago with the not-so-simple idea to remove God from every aspect of education and the pledge.  Now Obama is delivering the final punch that is going to knock Americans down and off their feet.  I don't think that we will get up after this one guys!

Opinions?! I want to know if anybody else out there agrees with me on this issue. If u don't you can just get over it!!!  ~!V
