Guest guest Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 The Buddhist answer I`ve received (from Michigan State Univ. Buddhist group) as to why Buddhism does not condemn the blow-torching and beating to death slowly and agonisingly of dogs is that dogs are a rabid nuisance and have to be killed. Well, the compassionate ones sure enjoy their killing!!! PLEASE FORWARD THIS! I consequently stand by my tract: " Buddhism: hypocrisy incarnate " & ask you to consider the following too: that the dog-torturing stops at Buddhism`s western borders! BOYCOTT KOREA! APPEAL TO WORLD BUDDHIST LEADERS! 2.6 MILLION DOGS PER YEAR TORTURED TO DEATH! THOUSANDS OF DOGS PER DAY HUNG UP AND BLOWTORCHED AND BEATEN SLOWLY TO DEATH. CATS FLUNG ALIVE INTO BOILING WATER. www.koreananimals.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 as an atheist i always find it very disturbing when people automatically think that religion is required for there to be morality and tolarance(at least as modern liberal societies define it). its like they comepletly forget an overwhelming majority of every religions history as well eveything found in their religious scriptures, for example in judaism and christianity, the entire moral system is based on obediance to some invisible diety or that creepy cult leader jesus, if they tell you to love thy neighbor, its not out of compassion but because the diety says so. also when people say they belong to a religion, they generally do whatever the fuck they want to anyway, and if it happens to conflict with their " beliefs " they just rationalize it. ive found that compassion and tolerance really is an individual thing, not to be applied to a religious guop as a whole, no matter what their particular doctrines state. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
