Would you like to have a hypothetical discussion or one about our observable shared reality?

My focus is on reaching the nursery. I trust my comrades to watch my back so I continue up the stairs without hesitation.

@ravensjt
Personally, I believe that the truth is unknowable at our (human) current stage of development, so to treat others best and hoping, but not expecting, reciprocation is what works for me

And you believe this because it has utility for you in living as the best possible you?

What we should eat is a separate discussion from what we actually eat.

Talk about my mother again pink skin and see what happens. I mean that affectionately and I assume we have had similar conversations before. I'm mostly focused on my surroundings. This place raises my hackles.

Man's natural state would seem to be omnivorous. Whether or not modern man should be vegitarian is a separate issue.

believe Fuller has more authority and concepts involving on more issues/topisc than Secular Martin does

This is what you believe. Why do you believe It? Or just don't worry about it. If I'm playing mind games the best thing to do would be to just ignore me and if we can't understand one another I encourage you to do just that.

There is absolutely no need to eat meat.

Perhaps this gave me the wrong impression. Or perhaps it is that you mistook me for the thread author. Either way we are on the same page now. Right?

You said humans are for the most part omnivores. I agree. How does that qualify as a mind game?

@linate
Well strictly speaking a baby is both but I wanted to make sure before we go any further that  you understand that being agnostic does not necessarily mean that you do not believe in any god(s).

@mustardness
Well I've never heard of a Neolithic tribe that didn't hunt animals and there is extensive archeological evidence that early man was a very successful hunter and in modern society vegetarian humans are the exception not the rule so based solely on behavioral observations of the animal in question man is an omnivore. Not only that but the mire we learn about animals and their eating habits the more we come to realize that even "herbivorous" animals will eat meat when presented with the chance.
That is not a mind game it is a fact.

If you've never seen it how do you know it's a monster?
How long have your parents been gone?
When was the baby last fed?

These questions are rapid fire like a drill sergeant, a drill sergeant that expects answers.
