Maybe I'm the only fan of the new hit series Heroes in this class, but I don't care. I LOVE this show and the finale last night was the best episode of the series. If you watch the show, puhhhleeeeeeze comment me. I really want to talk about it and I know if I try to type everything in here, there will be much rolling of eyes. If you comment: Who's your favorite character? Who's superpower would you want? What did you think of the ending?

this has nothing to do with anything but remebering back to our argument a few months back i check out vegetarianism and christianity and this is what i found (btw i copied and pasted off a website, so i am not taking any credit for finding this info):
While vegetarianism is not common in Christian thought, the concept appears periodically. According to the Bible, in the beginning, men and animals were vegetarian.[28] After the flood, God permitted the eating of meat.[29] Some Christians believe that the Bible explains that, in the future, men and animals will return to vegetarianism.[30]
The practice of eating meat has been defended by Christians on the basis that only human beings have immortal souls and only human beings have been made in God's own image.[31]. Another argument is that in the Apostle Paul's first letter to Timothy, Paul talks about those who forbid others to abstain from meats.[32] Skeptics have seen such doctrines as justifying evil carried out against other living beings through supposed divine sanction, not just with regard to the moral issue regarding the eating of meat but also in the maltreatment of other creatures prior to their death and consumption.
Some Christian leaders, such as the Reverend Andrew Linzey, have supported the view that Jesus was a vegetarian. Some people believe that the Book of Daniel specifically promotes vegetarianism as beneficial.[33] However, common theology argues that in this instance Daniel is rejecting food that is considered to be unholy by his faith (eating food that had been sacrificed to pagan gods), not strictly meat. Specifically, some believe that the New Testament of the Bible says that a person's dietary choice is of small consequence and should not be a point of confrontation.[34]. Therefore, some modern Christians consider vegetarianism as a perfectly acceptable personal choice that has many of the same implications as fasting.
A text not included in the Christian Bible known as the Gospel of the Ebionites, emphasises that Jesus advocated vegetarianism, abolished the Jewish meat sacrifice system, and never ate meat. In contemporary Christianity, the Seventh-day Adventist Church promotes vegetarianism among its followers.
The Word of Wisdom is a dietary law given to adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement (also known as Mormonism) which says that meat and fowl "are to be used sparingly; And ... that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine." Not given as advice, this commandment is reiterated in the same section, "And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger."[35]
In the Eastern Orthodox groups, the faithful abstain from meat and dairy products on Wednesdays and Fridays as a discipline. During their version of Lent, many followers avoid eating meat and dairy products altogether while in the Roman Catholic faith, followers abstain from only meat on Fridays, but are permitted to eat fish. Up until the Vatican II Council in the 1960s, Catholics abstained from meat every Friday of the year and many have chosen to hold on to this practice. Members of pre-Vatican II churches, disregard the reform of the Vatican II Council and therefore make abstinence of meat on Fridays throughout the year compulsory.
The earliest Christian monks are said to have had a vegetarian diet also. St. Anthony, the earliest recorded organizer of monastic communities in the desert, lived off of dried fruits and vegetables, and bread
Whoa. You really want to convince me, huh? Well, here's my retort: I don't care. ^-^ If you wanna eat a strictly veggie diet, that's fine. It doesn't go against the bible so there's nothing wrong with it and yeah, it's healthy. In the old testament, Jews were not permitted to eat red meat. However, in the new testament, the apostle Peter was staying at someone's house on a missionary trip and he had a vision where God allowed him to eat the formerly forbidden foods. So, we're definitely allowed to eat whatever now, but its your choice to do so. Tada!
