Definitely OT Re: talking turkey to RB

[Alan R. Barnard]

Gordon:

I would agree with you completely if you were right. But you are not.

I thought it was funny.

Here's another: "'Vegetarian' is a plains Indian word meaning 'lousy shot'"

Eating roast beef does not make me a barbarian. Eating a vegetarian diet
does not make you enlightened, pure, or noble.

Being "a monk for many years" gives you no special knowledge, no particular
wisdom, and absolutely zero authority. Nor do you have ANY right to
be"especially offended."

Please note that the word "meat," as translated from ancient Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Greek, often refers to generic "food," more particular
references use the terms herbs, grains, flesh, etc.

NOT NOT NOT to persuade anybody of any religious point of view, just to
highlight the nonsense and hypocrisy of your insulting message:

Genesis (The same book you cited) 27

"AND it came to pass, that ... Isaac ... said ... go out to the field, and
take me [some] venison; And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring
[it] to me, that I may eat ..."

Please never mention your peculiar proclivities or past problems with pious
perverts, again.
