Found this very interesting and thought it would be good to share here on FR as a tool for discussion with anti's.

I’m skeptical if Genghis Khan was really a vegetarian. He would have lived in the 1100’s? 1200?

Indeed it is evil.

1 Timothy 4:

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Some people can handle being vegetarians and their body can compensate for the lack of certain brain proteins that are needed for rational thought...

Some people in the far east and in india come from multiple generations of vegetarians who have acclimated their bodies to using plant onky proteins...

For Europeans, every damn vegetarian I have had the misfourtune of comming across with european ancestry has been insane, dull witted, or a combination of the two....

Raw Vegans are EVEN WORSE, as cooking actually releases ceertain nutrients and they are lacking even more nutrients...

I was a vegetarian until I started leaning toward the sun!

What about St. Francis???

I know lots of vegetarians. Most of the young ones are libs - they eventually have to start eating at least some meat for their health, but most of them retain their stupidity. Most vegetarians I know over 50 are both libs and conservatives and are actually vegans eating that way because their cardiologist told them to. Apparently, it does bring down cholesterol. As hard as it is to eat vegan, for some folks that's easier than eating more along the lines of the South Beach Diet, which is usually the heart patients' other option.

I’m a Vegetarian. Oh, not because I love animals or anything. It’s because I HATE vegetables; I want to KILL them and eat them!

Have a nephew that married one and she was an emaciated wimp until we converted her to eating meat and she became a real person!

It is how it is done. If you do it carefully you can have good health from out of it. As the old saying goes, “moderation in all things.”

I gotta theory about this. Virtually all meditation systems teach vegetarianism. And of course, their adherents claim that it reduces aggression, doesn’t kill animals and thereby bring bad karma, etc. However I have observed over many years that almost no “meditators” actually meditate. Meditation brings up all the stuff you don’t want to look at, and which you’ve learned to avoid. Meditation practices, therefore, are designed to get past the denial. I think vegetarianism is one of these tricks. Without meat, you get cranky and unable to dodge the stuff coming up.

Perhaps when a person gets so advanced they are beyond the denial and discomfort stage, vegetarianism provides a gentler and calmer means of sustenance, but I haven’t seen it in any vegetarian meditators I’ve met (in fact, it seems to deepen their liberalism - or is that an oxymoron?). Anyway, when I turn into a ball of light I’ll let you know if I feel differently about the matter (but don’t wait up...).

I do not believe that Genghis Khan was a vegetarian. That is extremely unlikely.

I also think the “1,748,000 people in a single hour” is bogus.

Also, for some reason your link is forbidden.

I did not post this article.

Someone is pulling shenanigans.
