A. That's your idea because the "fittest" is yourself--in your own estimation and power; but there's no godliness in such a contention. It is your selfish conclusion that might is right at the expense of sentient life. Q. Do I not work hard and do I not know that I need meat to sustain me in my manual labor? Do I not know what my system needs. A. Your system does not require food which must come from a murdered animal! When you contend that you must subsist on flesh, you know not whereof you speak. You are talking to uphold your inhuman appetite. Q. Where would medical research be were it not for vivisection (torture) and killing animals for experiment in the interest of science? A. I do not know, but I do know scientific men have not a moral right to torture and kill harmless, helpless animals. Experimenting in surgery, etc., should be done on humans who believe in the advancement of medical science at the expense of life. Q. Do you object to the infidel eating flesh food? A. I do not object to anyone eating flesh food--eat whatever you like, but I do point out the wrong of taking life and I emphatically say the religious institution upholding slaughter is a farce and a pharisaical monument to a man-made deity. Q. Do you actually consider flesh eating the most abominable of sins? A. Yes, absolutely the most abominable. Q. What do you think of religious emotionalism and ecstasy? A.

You profess to be above the inferior animals and you profess to have a soul; you also have a Golden Rule supposed to have been handed down by a kind and merciful Creator. Q. What shall we do with all the animals if we do not kill them? A. Is that why you eat flesh? Q. Do you really think carnivorous churchites are not of God? A. I don't _think_ it, I _know_ it _absolutely_, because I know it is wrong to kill and I know they know it and I know they search the Scriptures for "proof" to satisfy palate while Conscience rebels. Q. What do you think of a religionist who says, "I am living under a new dispensation since Christ came and went, and I now eat anything the Lord sets before me?" A. If he means he can eat at the expense of sentient life he is not a Godly man; he is not living in harmony with the Golden Rule; he is not living according to the promptings of a higher self, consequently the God spirit is dormant. The church carnivora's favorite Bible quotations to justify his inhumanity are invariably quoted from a petrified conscience and the region of the palate. Here are several of the passages:
