Animals As Food :giving Thanks to their Spirit as opposed to Thanking God For the Food provided.

    As I was cutting up our BBQ chook in preperation for our meals I thought about some Indigenous Societies that just after a kill give thanks to the spirit of the animal for providing its life so he and his family can live.

    I thought that seems to make a helluva lot more sense than giving thanks to an unseen God who is apparently indifferent to mankinds sufferings and is deaf to all the prayers that are offered up to him.

    Maybe we dont hunt for our food nowadays in the civilized world , but I think its food for thought.

    Maybe we dont hunt for our food nowadays in the civilized world , but I think its food for thought - for hunter-gatherers, meat is a prized possession, a source of much protein. It's certainly something to feel thankful for.

    If there's nothing to hunt, they will get malnourished, possibly even end up dying.

    For us modern humans, going without meat is ok.

    We can just buy Quorn steaks instead of meat the next time we do a shop ...
