Okay, I did read the whole way through, and I think you have a really good argument here, so here are a couple of my thoughts.
First of all, I'm really sorry we offended you last night. I now understand how much it really upsets you, so I hope you forgive me for that and don't really hate me, like you wrote, because you are always going to be one of my best friends!! And also, you are right. You don't make fun of my beliefs so I have NO room to do that to you. I'm truly sorry and will definitely be more careful in the future.
Secondly, I appreciate you sharing your opinions with me because clearly this is something that is important to you. However, I am probably not going to change my ways because I do not feel as strongly about it as you do. I believe that God put animals on this planet for us to not only admire and look at and such, but to use for other things, such as food and clothing and medical research. (It's much more practical than using people for testing!) And I didn't make this up... it is biblical, so I believe it to be true. The eating part, at least.
Third, I am glad you are working on solving this problem, even if it is one small step at a time. That's awesome that you have something to be so passionate about and it shows.
love you always :)
PS I saw your post on facebook before I saw this one, so I replied there and then realized it was on here, so I copied and pasted my reply here since I could write more!
1)please finish reading it... it was meant to be read the whole thing 2)you guys did offend me really bad last night, it hurt, because I have never once made fun of or criticized your religous believes I don't agree with b/c i know you feel strongly about them. 3)I didn't say I hate you and I never said I did 4)I never meant this make someone change there mind... but I wish you would consider my view and read some articles my mom has found about religion and the views of animals, and just because someone interpets the bible as God giving us the animals to use as our dispols doesn't mean it's true... I'm sure God did not want us to treat animals the way we do today... we aren't God and we aren't suppose to reproduce animals just to slaughter them, i'm pretty sure he never meant for that to happen (though i'm not him so I can't say for sure) 5)So please finish reading it... b/c I meant for the whole thing to be read
