There is a group here in CH that is lobbying for Catholic priests to be able to get married and be gay.

At which point I say, why bother being Catholic, wouldn't that effectively make you Episcopalians?

With all the religions to choose from...

Maybe these guys could be Quakers or Seventh Day Adventists.

... that said, how does this make PETA members any crazier than any other religious true believers.

My favorite comment on the story is about the tenth one down, from someone called Angela, at 4:31 PM.

Time to pull out my PETA shirt - People Eating Tasty Animals.

What idiocy. As if these people actually think they have the right to change the words in any freakin' book!

*burp*
Oh...pardon me. I was just finishing up the last of my bacon... (aka: Wilbur).

Now what was I going to say.... oh yes... PETA. Idiots.

well, there are some wrong translations in the bible. God knows I don't agree with PETA, but "dominion" over the animals is more correctly translated as "stewardship" over the animals. I take that to mean God doesn't want us being unnecessarily cruel or misusing anything he created. One (but not the only) reason I buy meat that I can visit before it's killed, and eggs from someone's backyard.

How about PETA stop being hypocritical and start taking care of the animals brought to them for adoption instead of killing 90% of them yearly?? It would be nice to have them actually run a no-kill shelter with all of those bucks they waste on naked models and posturing.

They would just produce their own version of the Bible if their concern was translation accuracy and not forcing their (moronic) beliefs on everyone.

BTW, people buy thousands of copies of my translation of the Bible every year. Like the King James version is nicknamed the "KJV," mine have a famous nickname too: "blank books."

I am actually all for ethical treatment of animals, even the ones that are being bred soley for meat, but how in the hell does rewriting the bible do that? It's stupid.

In theory, I agree with what PETA stands for, and would like to support them, but they make it hard to do that with all their ridiculous posturing. What I find so hypocritical about PETA is that they don't DO anything. (Well other than throwing red paint, protesting perfectly legit meat packing plants, sending vitriolic letters to furriers and celebs, and making ridiculous demands that is.) Do they DO anything for these animals they care so much about? Has anyone ever seen a no kill animal shelter run by PETA? Do they ever send their own people to areas where disaster strikes to join the animal rescue efforts? Do they provide any real education the the people about animal welfare (and I mean real education not "I am better than you because I don't eat meat" self richeous education)? What do they DO?

I only eat dead animals, not live ones.

Well they are MORALLY better dontcha know Amy.
And they will keep reminding you how much "better" they are from their wheelchairs.

Vegans in France seem to have killed their baby:

Genius.

"Perhaps it is convenient that plants don't have blood"

They do. It's called sap. Maple syrup, yum!

"I think we should all eat dirt and rocks and other dead things. Then we would truly preserve life and not be hypocrites"

Good luck with that. Every ounce of soil is chock full of life. There's bacteria in rocks too. If these people were serious, they'd all be growing their own artificial food in test tubes.

get these guys every time... ask them: 'is the natural order is moral?'
then wait for the brain cramp to set in.

I find that ordering my beef "as rare as is humanly possible" is very effective in getting it right.

Of course, I once had a boss who would tell the waiter/waitress to "wipe its a** and knock the horns off" which also worked quite well. But a little much for me.

So this critter walks into a restaurant ... and offers itself up for consumption, Douglas Adams-style:

"It's better than eating an animal that doesn't want to be eaten!".

NicoleK, you bring up an issue that has baffled me. Why does someone want to be part of any group that dissaproves of them? This would be like potheads demanding that the Mormons change and let them in.

Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I'm halfway through my fishburger and I realize, "Oh my God. I could be eating a slow learner." ~Lynda Montgomery

I was a vegetarian until I started leaning toward the sunlight. ~Rita Rudner

I won't eat anything that has intelligent life, but I'd gladly eat a network executive or a politician. ~Marty Feldman

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. ~A. Whitney Brown

Because the objective isn't to be a gay Catholic married priest. It's to fundamentally alter the Catholic religion and church, effectively destroying them and proving you were more tolerant and a better person.

"PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is calling for a more animal-friendly update to the Bible."

Voila! Behold - the LOLCat Bible!

Yeah, PETA is just Marxism dressed up for people who like animals. The ASPCA is much more worthy, and they actually do what they stand for.

I've started declaring that eating plant parts is worse than eating meat, because plants are a higher life form, getting their nourishment out of dirt and thin air.

Your logic is flawed Prunella, because more plants die to feed the animals you eat than would if you ate them directly.

Fucking variation of the fucking what about the carrots argument.

PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is calling for a more animal-friendly update to the Bible.

So, God now chooses Cain's offering and Abel kills Cain in a jealous rage?

Instead of killing his son, Abraham makes a nice gazpacho with him?

San Francisco Chronicle, 3/30/11:

"PETA suggests a new name for the Tenderloin"

The word Tenderloin has dual meaning: the most tender part of a cut of meat (PETA's beef, er, complaint) and an urban district notorious for vice (the reputation of the San Francisco neighborhood that city officials hope to put in the past tense).

With city officials contemplating a proposal to rejuvenate the struggling Mid-Market and Tenderloin with a payroll tax break to lure more businesses to the two neighborhoods, the activist organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals suggests another way to -- at least -- revitalize the Tenderloin:

Rename it the Tempeh District after the protein-packed fermented soybean product.

Amy, I believe the term for extremely rare meat is "blue". I haven't road-tested that one, though, since I like my meat a lot more cooked than that.

OMG I just snorted Diet Coke out of my nose. You owe me a new monitor. :D

Sorry PETA nit-wits but they cant change the bible and the words of god just to satisfi your own wacko view of animals so why dont you all volenteer to leave it all alone and quit being such a bunch of wackos
