firstly, there are no passages in the Bible stating that animals are exclusive for consumption to us, there are only passages saying there's no restriction on what you can eat. and I read this along the lines of a reaction to Judaisitic law on "no pork", similar to "yes you can work on a Sabbath day" was a reaction to "do nothing on the Sabbath"
secondly, there is no Universal God for all the peoples of the world, whereas Christians are allowed to eat ALL meat, Jews and Muslims can't eat pork (using his line of argument, is a pig a sacred animal, then?, and above us) no - the pig is just a filthy animal to them and cannot be eaten
thirdly, popular non-Abrahamic religions in the East like Hinduism and Buddhism, regard the consumption of only veggies highly thought of and will reward the practitioner in the Karmic cycle, "pure" Buddhists don't even kill ants and the highest caste of Hindus, the Brahmas (priests) are vegetarians - so I guess the Virgin is saying a Christian God is above Buddha, Vishnu, Ganesh etc?

1. exactly my point. he didn't mention what part of the bible he was referencing. we dont even know if that is the Catholic bible or the Baptist bible, or whatever. we all know there are difference. that's why his arguments keep on heading South. how can we even... properly respond points with no basis? he makes claims and when someone questions it, he makes another one that is just as baseless as the previous one. he keeps on mentioning God wanting this and that for us. apparently, he is the only one who knows it. who knows? he just might have a basis and we could all learn from him. but for as long as he argues with now basis, he is just going to... continue doing what he is doing to himself. whatever that is.
2. ditto
3. that is probably what his belief is. but i am not even sure what God he is talking about. i was raised to four different religions and one of that is Catholicism. i would be the first one to say that Catholics have some... interesting beliefs about God but that God he was talking about, ain't the God of Catholics.
