Non Vegetarianism

No, I am not trying to contradict the beliefs and ideas of the Father of The Nation...thats too in the 61st anniversary of his triumphant day. I'm just here to express my views and beliefs regarding my faith in non-vegetarianism. To be honest and to be particular, I would like to share my eating of the canine breed.
For argument sake, let me start from the common non-veg menu. Why being a vegetarian anyway in the first place? Being a Christian, there are no fundas against eating meat with a little exception(which I will come later on). Although there are some vegetarian and teetotaler like Beltesazzar, Abednego etc in the Old Testament times. As far as my insights are concern, the root of vegetarianism is the Hindu philosophy with a liitle variation among the Jains. Why? During my heydays in our college, i used to question my fellow students regarding this strict fundas against eating animals. One very logical(which i found illogical) reply was that, "We cannot eat animals, because they have soul(life) and they feel pain. But animals can eat other animals."
Oh c'mon look at these times, we had a breakthrough in biological science even during the time of Aristotle (circa 300BC) who stated that Plants have life and they have irratibility too. If you had touched a Touch-me-not plant, I m sure you can understand the feeling of plants. If so, then accroding to the Hindu's philosophy, we are not allowed to eat even plants, as they have life as well as iiratibility. Weird???? Then What are we supposed to eat? Pure Inorganic substances like Iron, Steel, gold, sodium etc etc? Now is that practically possible? We (human) are organic substances and our foods are also bound to be organic. I guess thats answer my faith in being a non-vegetarian in the first place

Secondlly, eat meat not pets. Now, I must consult the good book regaring the fundas of eating animals. Referring the book of Leviticus Chapter 11:3
" 'There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. ⁵ The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. ⁶ The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. ⁷ And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. ⁸ You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

Going through these standars yes canine family are unclean for God Chosen people. But this was the era of the Laws and not Grace. Here..salvation is attained only by pure obedience to the law, and repenting for every single sin.
However, after the resurrection of Christ, we are no longer bounded by the law Rom 6:14.
" For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."
Furthermore
²⁵ Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, ²⁶ for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." I Cor 10: 25

So as far as canine or primate is concerned, being a Christian I believe God do not banned me from eating et al.

Looking in another angle, as a PETA activist, why eat only vegetables? Why canine? Cause its a pet? Now how do you define pet? What about Singularis Porcus? According to recent scientifc studies the boar family are much more intelligent than the canine. Read stories like Animal Farm, Babe etc. Some people even keep them as pet. Since its not our custom to keep pig as pet, then is it right to eat them? What about eating wolf? It is canine but not a pet.
Well, as far as I am concerned, i know the Kingdom of heaven is not about eating and drinking but the love of god...

Why being tortured here on earth ???
Abstaining from a particular food will not lead you to salvation but HIS GRACE

Sexual Discrimination

God created Eve from Adam's rib and till date I haven't come across a girl who thank me for that. As if the rib itself was too heavy for them to carry or of no use to them at all.
From time immemorial till date the war between the sexes endures which will continue so, if there is no change. History and folktales alike; I m sure all of us are familiar with A knight fighting against the dragon to save a damsel, or heroes died to save the fairer sex in most events. Even in the Indian myth, what was the real cause of the Ramayana epic? Was it Rama? Nope it was Sati...Again in our Mizo history..what causes the war between the east and the west (Chhak leh Thlang Indo) I m sure it was due to the issue over that bride which was taken over by the west later. Why is it always happening like this? Ever heard of a maiden fighting to save Prince Charming? I don't think even if that happens it will be more than a handful. What was Job's wife telling, when poor Job suffered like hell? She told him to curse the Almighty.. Huh????

In the postmodern era..look at what's happening? We give them seat in buses, let them out of the Titanic first, treat them absolutely free for dinner etc etc...and look what do they give us back in return???

"WE WANT WOMEN LIBERATION, WE WANT WOMEN LIBERATION"

Now, what else do they expect us to give them....We give them everything of what we have(sometime even our life) yet they are shouting for more!!!!

This is too much....Even in our own state I have heard once that the MHIP demands a special women seat in the legislative assembly or something like that...
What is equality anyway? If there's equality then I suppose there are no reserved seat for no one. I hope you got the picture. If a woman have a reserved seat..than doesn't that mean Men are suppressed? If there is REAL equality then there should be no reservation. Correct me if I am wrong...

Look at the statistics. Majority of the government employees of our state are women..so are the passed out students from colleges and high schools..What more do they demand??

Well, I think..I will quit for the time being....and continue later....

Lastly...it was Eve who ate the Forbidden Fruit in the first place. :P:P

Predestination vs Freewill

Have you ever wondered if the life you led was already programmed by someone all-powerful? Did you ever wondered that your future is written? Or do you really have a choice? What is choice anyway? Is the person with whom you are going to marry already known by One?
Let me quote an extract from a parody.

During a debate between the believer of Predestination and Freewill, a third party person went to the predestination group. When he was asked the reason for his coming, he replied "I come on my freewill." The group then told him, that he cannot come on his freewill. When he went to the second group, he gave the answer "I was sent by another group." To which come the reply, "No, you cannot come, you have to come on your freewill." Now the this guy is quite in a dilemma.

I have this confusion after watching the blockbuster movies "The Matrix Trilogy" (10 - 15 times)
Though the hero 'Neo' doesn't believe in 'fate crap' and only in his choice, but did that really matter when he meets the Oracle? If the Oracle knew what Neo is going to decide, then where is Neo's choice or freewill?

Now consider one scenario. A certain person died due to an accident. Now is the death caused by God or him? Did God determine the timing of his death? Or if he had been careful, could he avoid that death? For the sake of argument, is there anything like accident or is everything planned?

Did God determine everything happening on earth? Who will be your spouse? Who will be the new government and the minister et al? Did He determine the result of battle and wars? If so, then where is your freewill?

As a Christian, I will point out many reference from the scripture regarding this idea. For a start,
"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." Eph 1:4.

Now, how do you explain this statement? Did God chose us even before the creation of the Heaven and Earth?????
Where is freewill? Did Adam and Eve really got a choice to do the right thing i.e not to eat the forbidden fruit? Or was they control(programmed) to sin?
Take the case of Judas. Did Judas has a choice to do the right thing? Or was he programmed? Jesus clearly stated that he was to be betrayed.
"²⁴ The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born." Matt 26:24.
How will you explain the last sentence? Is Judas capable of not being born??
Another very good reason for predestination is found in the epistle of Paul to the Romans which reads
"Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' " ^{[h] 21} Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for disposal of refuse?" Rom: 9 : 20

So, are we mere puppets whose strings are controlled by God?

Let me add one more popular verse, "But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said. "
So it was all God's play in case of Ramseses II and Moses. Right?

Then, if everything is programmed and planned all along, then why don't we just sit and enjoy the ride?
"Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this: Psalm 37

Wow, do I need not do nothing???


I am not going to explain my beliefs here. In fact I do not know what to believe. So if there's anyone out there who could shed some light, I 'd really appreciate that.
