Surely its amoral to be something you're not? We deny the natural order if we pretend we're not omnivores; what's amoral about adhering to biology / nature?

Transvestitism isn't just an issie for men (or women) with mental health issues. Its also a massive problem for women and children's safegaurds - most transvestities don't just have gende diphora, bit AGP and other form of paraphilia sadly

Perhaps an issue is that by 'rationalising' trans, and supporting those with GD / AGP it appears like tacit approval for the removal of women's rights, pushing unecessary surgery on children, grooming and ironically removal of rational thought etc. As the stakes in the real world are so high, any form of 'contrition' seems like a betrayal of the tribe? In this instance maybe it can only be tribal as raising children safely is part of the biological human primal condition?

@lanabeniko8190 No one's saying they don"t, but their demands are leading to Tavistock, Mermaids, Isla Bryson, all the de-transition horror stories etc. Don't gaslight.

Indeed and think veganism is rationale. Notice also he only goes for the easy religions, the ROP is off the menu these days

@paulcooper1223 Read my post. I know he does. No need to be rude and don't presume my mind. He is just hell bent on going for Prager, an easy target, and is quite shy on tackling real irrationality, thats all.

@paulcooper1223 Again you presume to much. Maybe I should assume you have a bias when it comes to rationality?

@joeaddison7120 I used to be biologist, and my comments were based on biological facts!

@paulcooper1223 I made a comment, you got triggered and have projected multiple times. You clearly have an agenda yourself. Hardly rationality rules with you more like pathos

Anon Anon because we are physically (via our genetics) designed to eat meat (more so than just eating fruit / veg).

@anthonynorman7545 you wouldn't be fulfilling a natural function. Choosing not to do something is your choice, trying to moralise to others is different
1
@anthonynorman7545 Maybe: options have nothing to do with being able to eat meat ... we were designed (by evolution) to do so. Moralising is a human quirk, I see no problem with eating meat as its part of the human condition is what I'm trying to say! Its part of nature to eat meat no good or evil required.

@anthonynorman7545 please explain how its an illogical fallacy?
1
@anthonynorman7545 not sure logic has anything to do with it. Veganism is purely an ethical argument isn't it?
1
@anthonynorman7545 I used the term loosley. All I'm trying to say is there nothing wrong in eating meat, its part of the human condition. As for rape etc. it is also part of the condition but is less frequent and a seemingly hardwired taboo, where as eating meat which is a more basic function, and unless you're a cannibal doesn't hurt other humans! Choosing to be a vegan is to work against the natural order.
1
@anthonynorman7545 logos, ethos, pathos ... ethics is a human invention, 'logic' is more mathmatical / rational approach. Veganism seems to me more about 'wanting to be kind' ... mother nature doesn't care!

@anthonynorman7545 I did no need to be rude!

Shame islam didn't get the memo

I'm an atheist, but it seems if 'secularism' means the new religion of woke, then I'd rather old skool religion thanks!
1
@Marniwheeler I didn't say, it just seems the 'yoof' are choosing (being indoctrinated?) quasi religious identity dogma, rather than to think critically or rationally. If you're going to chose a religion you're better off picking an old classic, thats all!

@fantuswitt9063 we don't have a choice with woke ... the year zero zealots are enforcing their tyranny

Ben is correct on most things, except religion of course

Veganism = cult

Veganism is an intolerant religion.

He's wrong on God but mostly rational on everything else ...
