AN APPEAL TO ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD
TO RETURN TO THE PRACTICE OF TOTAL COMPASSION FOR ALL CREATURES.This is an appeal to the people of all creeds in the world
to stop oppressing, enslaving and murdering animals;
To orthodox Jews, Christians, and Moslems
to stop slaughtering and eating God's creatures.
Your scriptures sanctioning such evils
are simply the lies, the revisions, of businessmen.So too is this an appeal to the Hindus and Buddhists,
whom many in the world respect for helping them
see through the veil of carnivorism,
but who themselves, though more loving to creatures
than other cultures, still oppress animals,
who tether cows that are unwillingly milked,
who harness animals as work slaves,
who break the spirits of horses and elephants
so that they may be ridden,
or who till the earth as predators excavating the homes of small animals and insects, abusing, displacing, and killing them.
Though you have been instrumental in teaching us to be compassionate towards all creatures, and not to eat them,
you are still at fault in these things.This is an appeal to the people of all religions
to return to advocating no coercion,
and that means no coercion at all, over God's creatures.
This is an appeal to the people of all creeds
to abstain always from meat and all animal products
and to stop supporting in any way
the oppression of animals,
and to join with those who are compassionate to God's creatures.This is an appeal to those of the Maya lineage
to return to the teachings of Quetzalcoatl
who forbid animal sacrifices as well as human sacrifices.This is an appeal to the people of Tibet and to the Dalai Lama
To return to the teachings of compassion towards all creatures.
To eat eggs from chicken slaves, and to eat flesh,
is absolutely to deny the compassion that Buddha had towards creatures.Carnivorism is a lose/lose situation:
Animals lose their lives; humans lose their health.The works of the slaughterhouse,
slitting animals' throats, shooting them,
bashing in their skulls, chopping off their heads,
suffocating them through fishing,
hunting and trapping them,
torturing them in medical labs
or enslaving them on animal farms
are not all-loving or all-compassionate acts;
they are evil diabolical acts,
"works of the devil."These tragic atrocities lead to the tragic situations of humans in hospitals
Suffering from heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes,
and a legion of other diseases.Some writings of the Vedas have also been rewritten
to sanction animal sacrifices and the caste system.All truly religious cultures must return to non-invasive agriculture,
which does not excavate the homes of creatures living in earth,
whose lives are no less precious than the lives of humans.Humans are to see themselves as an equal part of creation,
not as the paragon or crown of creation,
not as God's favored creatures.Those who see themselves as God's elect people,
who claim they have the right to subdue other creatures
and to have dominion over them,
are of the most evil cultures of the world.
It is they who have polluted much of earth's water to make it undrinkable;
It is they who have polluted the air and the earth
under the illusion of industrial progress.Industry has produced far more diseases than it has cured.
It is a curse on the earth and its creatures.The language of the ancients is applicable today:
Deity created creation.
Demonic powers created industry.
Virtually all industry exploits the earth or its creatures.We are to live in harmony with creation.
We are not to exploit it.Religion is simple.
It is to be compassionate to all beings,
not to subordinate them or have dominion over them.There is nothing complicated about true religion:
It is to respect all that has been created.Jews,
return to your original covenant with God:"And God said `Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.'" l: 29-30.
Christians,
understand that Jesus acted heroically against
the suffering of God's creatures when he cleansed the temple
of the animals to be sacrificed, that one day fulfilling his stated mission:
to abolish the sacrifices. It is known by all but the ignorant that the earliest followers of Jesus did not eat flesh."The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables." John 2: 13-15.
The Mission of Jesus was to Abolish the Animal Sacrifices.
The Real Reason for the Cleansing of the Temple:
Jesus wanted to abolish the animal sacrifices,
To destroy the lie that animal sacrifices took away sin,
And to replace that lie
With the fact that the animal sacrifices were themselves sinful."For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins." "Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no
pleasure. Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God,' as it is written of me in the roll of the book." "Epistle to the Hebrews," 10: 4-7.The "Book of Revelation"s proclaims the Final Time
to be a time of no animal sacrifices.
and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."
Revelations 21: 4.
Muslims,
The Quran, which praises the Vegetarian Sabeans,
Asserts the Family of Creation
No Creature is excluded from the All-Compassionate Love of Allah"There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered. Quran, Surah VI: 38
When Allah says that "We have neglected nothing in the Book" after mentioning the animals, the astute reader sees that here the voice of Allah is not exclusive. Allah the all-compassionate expresses love towards all creatures, and none are left out: "we have neglected nothing."
Do we kill and eat members of our own family? Obviously not.
Muhammad saw clearly that some invented scriptures to gain a profit.
If you say your god wants you to have dominion,
your notion of god needs revision
A God of love wants every creature to be happy and free;
the devil wants slaughter and oppression.Jesus said the devil is the father of lies,
and being masked as God is the devil's best disguise:
Much of the Torah, the Gospels and Koran,
Didn't come from God but greedy businessmen.
