    Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.

    The same argument could be made about the statement “Gods perfect creation”.
    But I’d argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.

    Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.






  • God forbid people have some self expression

    They do indeed forbid it.

    10 "If you go to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your control, you may take some prisoners captive. 11 If you see among the prisoners a beautiful woman and you desire her, then you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her to your house, but shave her head and trim her nails

    Deuteronomy 21

    Oh man, religions are batshit crazy.






  • The level of your argumentation:
    Are you a firefighter or a medical doctor? If not, you’re obviously in favour of fires, death and disease.
    Why aren’t you donating all of your stuff to homeless people? Or are you happy all those people don’t have a home?
    Why aren’t you saving the world already???

    You know, demanding change and maybe showing some sort of protest does not mean you need to do those things exactly as you would like to see them, especially if those efforts wouldn’t change anything on the larger scale and rather lead to a bunch of problems in your life.





  • The position with the vegan cats is basically indefensible.

    What do all organisms, including animals, need to properly maintain their metabolism?
    Nutrients.
    What are nutrients?
    A bunch of different chemicals.

    Depending on the specific organism, another set of nutrients is required, also varying in amount of course.

    All required nutrients for humans at least can be obtained or synthesized from non-animal compounds.

    From that simplified perspective, it’s absolutely rational to explore how we could feed animals like cats on a purely vegan diet.
    But it’s certainly nothing which should be left to do for the layman alone, as veterinarian care is advisable if harming the animal should be avoided.
