“Heaven is open to all creatures” Pope Francis

[wedigfood]

He also said, ““The vocation of being a ‘protector,’ however, is not just something involving us Christians alone; it also has a prior dimension which is simply human, involving everyone. It means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as St. Francis of Assisi showed us. It means respecting each of God’s creatures and respecting the environment in which we live."


I am Buddhist and I don’t believe in God, I see all “creatures” as sentient beings, although I found his words very inspiring and hope they might have a profound effect in changing the perspective of non-vegans regarding all animals.

Thoughts?

I think Pope Francis may have been lobbied by the meat marketing board to make that speech.

Catholic omnis will hear the message as "Everytime you eat meat you send an animal to heaven".

I'm sure Pope Francis meant well but it would be pure idiocy to think that such a feather-duster approach will broach the fortress like walls of omni-idiot factor.

I'm taking my cat, and my sofa.

Yes, in cat heaven, dog heaven and alpaca heaven.

Looked around, haven't found any statistics on which methods are best to convert an omnivore to a vegan. Peta or forks and knives or ??

Neither. the concept has to appeal to the person, and they have to have the internal motivation to make the change.

I know the best method for stopping omni's trying to convert vegans back to omnis.

All you have to do is agree to convert on the express condition that your first omni meal will be them or (slightly more of a gamble) one of their pets.

Statisticaly that one works 100%.

If my dogs aren't in heaven, I'm not going. I've six og them waiting for me there.

 

[ledboots]

Five for me.

just say 'for every vegan you convert back to omniovorism, I'll convert two omnies to veganism'.

Forks and Knives documentary played every year in every grade, K-12. An altered version of Clueless Git's suggestion might work in other countries although it would never make it to the "plate" here.
