Year 4000 it will be Jesus' second coming and everyone on Earth will live their life in devine love to all humans, animals, plants and God. Everyone selected will get to stay in this paradise except those who don't make the cut. By then the world has come to it's senses and has realised how wrong it is to kill animals and eat it.

Why should I wait 2000 years?

Doesn't matter how you wrap it in, it is a sin to kill animals. In the bible there are 10 commandments as most people know, and one of them says you cannot kill or 'murder' as you say.

Can you honestly say killing a cow is not murder?
Yes I can. In fact, I just did.

All right, forget the 10 commandmends. God clearly doesn't want us to kill animals, no matter the cause. That's my opinion.
That's right, it's your opinion. It's also a minority view and gruesomly conflicting with just about every single book in the Bible as well as all things biological which of course you believe was created by God.

Year 4000 it will be Jesus' second coming

While the Old Testament laws commanded animals to be sacrificed, there were also injunctions against animal cruelty. Animals were not to be overworked (Ex 23:12) or underfed (Dt 25:4), nor were they to be hunted to extinction (Dt 22:6-7). Even wild animals were provided for, since they were given leftover food (Ex 23:11). In addition, Proverbs 12:10 says, "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal."

Nothing about not killing them.

I see that this forum, like most parts of the world, isn't quite ready to for these views.

Fair enough, I respect all beliefs including those who don't believe at all. :)

Look, if you want to be a vegetarian because you think it's cruel to eat animals or consume foods that require animals to be kept in captivity (milk, cheese), that's fine. But don't give me that Bible bullshit cause it's not in there.

How about justifying yours though? You haven't provided any arguments whatsoever.

I went back to look for its main aim that it was established to implement:

The stated aims of the United Nations are to prevent war, to safeguard human rights, to provide a mechanism for international law, and to promote social and economic progress, improve living standards and fight diseases. It gives the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems.

I don't need to deny each one of these goals, because it is so clear that this organization had failed in implementing any of them...

The UN became a disgusting scandal for the whole humanity...

It's time to wake up to reality: The U.N. scandals are not unfortunate accidents. They are not incidental blots on the reputation of an otherwise idealistic organization. The scandals are inherent in the very structure of the U.N. It could be said that the U.N. itself is the scandal. Here are some of the scandals of it:

1- oil-for-food scandal: The oil-for-food program began as a humanitarian plan to soften the sanctions against Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The U.N. would allow Iraq to sell a certain amount of oil each year, provided that the profits were used to buy food, medicine and other necessities for Iraq's people.

Instead, the oil was allotted to politically connected insiders, allegedly including the head of the oil program himself. The insiders got rich while Iraq's people suffered. One beneficiary of the program was U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's own son, who was employed by a firm that played a key role in the scandal-plagued program.

2- the apparently rampant sexual exploitation of Congolese girls and women by the UN’s 11,000 peacekeepers and 1,000 civilians. They were paying the innocent girls by jars of myonnaise...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1413501,00.html

3- The sexual harassment by senior UN staff in Geneva and New York.

4- How they couldn't stop the war on Iraq which had no justification.

5- There is nothing called "Human Rights" after making it possible to swallow having a prison like Guantanamo with no rules or laws applied for the prisoners...

6- There is nothing called Arms Control because simply the armed countries won't sign the UN ridiculous treaties...

7- There is nothing called International law where Ethiopia can invade its neighbor country just because they're not US dummies...

8- There was no peacekeeping & civilians defending when Dutch soldiers gave the Serbs the full freedom to kill as many Bosnians as they wanted in Srebrenica...

9- Failure to prevent the 1994 Rwandan genocide, which resulted in the killings of nearly a million people, due to the refusal of security council members to approve any military action.

10- Failure by MONUC (UNSC Resolution 1291) to effectively intervene during the Second Congo War, which claimed nearly five million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), 1998-2002 (with fighting reportedly continuing), and in carrying out and distributing humanitarian aid.

11- Failure to successfully deliver food to starving people in Somalia; the food was instead usually seized by local warlords. A U.S./UN attempt to apprehend the warlords seizing these shipments resulted in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.

12- Failure to implement the provisions of UN Security Council Resolutions in the Middle East.

And the latest scandal was revealed today by Daily Telegraph:

I couldn't find one advantage for this toy called UN...

Could anybody shed the light on any advantages??

United Nations??? United my ass :pumpkin:

If you don't want to eat meat that's your thing. I don't care about what you eat. But saying eating animals is wrong from a religious point of view, can't be anything but crap. First of all, lots of animals get slaughtered and eaten in the Bible. Then there's the fact men are built to eat meat. So Jesus isn't going to save us in the year 4000 and isn't going to bring us harmony with all living creatures, because Jesus doesn't care. Jesus cares about men.

Oh and by calling us "not ready" you didn't respect our beliefs. It's completely the same as Berlusconi calling Islam backwards. We don't share the same beliefs and it's impossible to be sure about which ones are correct, so we'll just have to wait and see. Today though, you can't say we're "not ready".

Oh come off it, Andries. Everyone knows that all organisms with an oxygen-based metabolism are immoral! It's only the anaerobic organisms that are true and just in the eyes of God. Haven't you evolved to photosynthesis yet?? :p
