I thought of you today. I was eating a veggie burger at work...and was told by this girl that it's in the Bible that people are supposed to eat meat. I politely told her that there's a lot in the Bible that people interpret differently, and that I didn't want to talk about it anymore. It was weird though. I remembered when we got in HUGE disagreement years ago. I am glad that's all over with. Hope things are better.
oh and you are a better person than i. i may have told that person to 'fuck off' if they had said something like that to me. i'm still irked my folks that label themselves as "christians" and eat animals. i don't talk about it much any more because i have managed to avoid people that fit that description. they bring out the militant bastard in me and i don't like that very much. i prefer peace and harmony as much as the next next person.
so you have fundies on your LJFL? i'd say it would be an eye-opener if they were to read this. maybe one of them could logically debate these statements. as rare and unlikely as that might be, i always want Xians to stand up for themselves and logically and fairly defend their Faith. if they can't do that, then they can just deal with being offended. of course, i'd question the strength and resiliance of their faith at htat point.

And I love this post, but I'm afraid to repost it in my journal due to offending people (I'm such a pansy).
