IMO that only really shows how easy it is for physical life to be ended, i personally dont think that makes it sacred, but maybe thats just me.Quote:

Especially all the bugs and spiders I annihilate indiscriminately just because I don't like the way they look or move.Quote:

Thats exactly what i meant. I dont think about sacredness in some metaphysical or phylosophical level, but in a very practical level. If you have something that you would do anything to avoid losing, then this thing can be considered sacred for you. (Much like my stash is sacred for me... :jointsmile:)Quote:

The good ones help break down crap that our body needs to process or expel.
But at the same time I use soap and antibacterial cleaning products.
first step to sanity: accept the fact that you're a hypocrite (or admit you're a sinner lol)... I am a hypocrite.
second step to sanity: don't let it bother you. I don't care which forms of life die as a direct/indirect result of my actions as long as the natural order of things is kept balanced (no significant impact to me or others or nature).
So it seems I don't respect life at all.... nor do I respect death. It's not my prerogative to judge any life as being sacred, or to say that the imposed death of any living thing is wrong. Sanctity of life should not even be defined by a creator, because no such entity deserves to judge another.
to sum it up: I only respect harmonious free will.
I'm sure you're familiar with the saying "There's a million ways to die"!Quote:

perhaps you need to look into the professional hired assassin line of work...
I have this mutt dog at my house mom calls it Zoe. Me and my brother call it ratfucker or skunkface. Basically this dog is a little bitch and as a farmer I should kill it. But everytime this little dog is in the sights or the 22 or the AK it stops, tilts it head, and looks at me. So its still alive. I don't think theres anything sacred about this dog but it knows what a gun is and plainly says please don't kill me.
Now if a rapist, murderer, or oppressor wandered into my sights on my land I know myself and I know I'd have no problem pulling the trigger.
So
I have no respect for life and total respect for innocence.
I hate
Killing for sport
Killing for fun (unless it's humans :D )
I agree with
The death penalty (long overdue it's return in the UK)
Killing to protect myself or others
Killing for food.
I also believe there is a place in modern society for "cleaners". :thumbsup:
again, perhaps you need to look into the professional hired assassin line of work. q:
