What I was thinking.
Now you’re talking, let’s go whole hog, as in a pig roast! Yum!The OP is right, we shouldn’t mutilate animals. We should eat them whole…

YUM!
My experience when I washed my first chicken was so PROFOUND I’ll never forget it; my interest was to see how many people have had similar experiences. Much of my belief system exploded with that experience. I was an atheist back then, but now I look at the whole experience from a religious perspective. Again, I encourage you to empathize with me here and imagine what such an experience did to me. I literately became a different person!
Now that I’m thinking of a pig roast, I’m thinking the turkey might not be all that on Thanksgiving. But, since my turkey is already thawing in the frig, I’ll have to make do. But, a pig roast sure does sound good.
No, of course not. Just a coincidence.
Black bears will occasionally do so. Brown bears like grizzly bears never, or virtually never.
Ok, that I can understand, but using the dramatic/exaggerated terms you did (knowing most people eat meat) and bringing it up to a bunch of people you don’t know in a forum still seem that you were trying to stir up emotion or even offend. The fact that you use such extreme words for it when it makes it sound like you are saying that it is immoral. (even though that doesn’t coincide with Church teaching on the consumption meat) In the Old Testament God called for animal sacrifice and even made rules on how to slaughter animals.
I surely apologize if I upset anybody! But I used those terms because they were implanted in my head from the profound experience.
it’s not too hard to empathize with a person who had some kind of psychological shock, but it’s devilishly hard to understand why one would have one over washing a chicken.
I don’t know…immoral, maybe? Unfortunate? Unnecessary? It depends on what it is, exactly, you’re trying to convey.
So far I got 4 people, 5 including me. I can’t help but believe the experience came from the Holy Spirit!
Can’t say for sure that some larger animals won’t attack humans for food. Nor do I have any bright ideas to test that theory. Ever visited Churchill, Manitoba? Lets just say you won’t see me taking a leisurely stroll in the evening enjoying the fresh air. Methinks my prime-rib carcass would be too tempting.
I wonder if they prefer Canadian Beer. You think the experience of being grossed out over washing a cut-up chicken came from the Holy Spirit? Seriously?
You think you had a religious experience because you touched raw chicken?
Well, don’t use such dramatic terms. Even when talking about experiences that were traumatizing for us, we must remember when they deal with things that are important to people culturally, traditionally, dealing with family (in this case family recipes), things that remind us of holidays and important bonding time, ect. we must be careful with what words you use. When you call meat a disgusting and a form of mutilation, you are saying that our meals we share with family and friends are disgusting, which for many are times they hold dear. Those words weren’t implanted in you head , you chose the words to describe meat. Now it can implant your feelings surrounding meat, which can’t be all that strong since you choose to eat it. It really can’t disgust you, because disgust implies a physically sick reaction, which would prevent you from eating it (except maybe in cases of starvation or extreme hunger).
Yes, the Holy Spirit! It eventually led me back to the Catholic Church. I treasure that experience. I doubt it came from Satan, but I strongly feel that the experience was beyond my doing.
See, saying that this experience surrounding meat (which is fine to eat according to the Catholic Church) was from the Holy Spirit, doesn’t really add up. Just because some people other than you find eating meat disgusting, doesn’t mean it is from the Holy Spirit.
