Eggs on lent

Ah, you fell for one of the classic blunders: expecting your opponent to value logic and consistency in their opinions
- Yeah my fault. You can't really expect them to treat logic with respect when they are balls deep in an altarboy.
  
  As the below comments have shown, lmao
- "The card says 'Moops'" (great video on this style of Internet "debate" that's only gotten worse since it was published)
  
  This is a good video. I found a transcript for people like me who prefer text: https://www.readtpa.com/p/innuendo-studios-card-says-moops-seinfeld
  
  Watch out, that card will drink your bones
  
  It's moors, you son of a bitch! Moors!
  You know, it's funny. Because the Bubble Boy episode is all about how someone's behavior can lead them to be totally unsympathetic, despite their circumstances.
  The audience is ultimately supposed to sympathize with George for being a pedent while this obnoxious jerk kinda gets what he deserves.

Eggs aren't fertilized and thus aren't embryos tho.
- I already checked they can eat fertilized eggs as well.
  
  I mean, unless people are eating Filipino Balut on a regular basis.... I don't think that the vast majority of eggs are fertilized.
  I guess Balut is a good question and the island / city of Ilo Ilo is predominantly Catholic. So I could ask around lol. But honestly, I avoid that food. It just doesn't look right....
  
  Eatus the fetus? 🤔
  
  I believe you, but do you have a source for that?
- Wrong. Eggs can be fertilized. Many people eat them without even realizing.
  
  It's unlikely a factory farm would bother to have a rooster around after the hens start laying.
  We're talking religion here, so I guess it could be a virgin fertilization...
- They also don't have meat.
  
  Explain "meat spots" then

Logic in religion? Sorry, friend, but that's a no can do
- to paraphrase an interaction I saw screenshotted somewhere at some point:
  "you can change people's opinions with facts"
  "[link] here's a study saying that's incorrect"
  "well I still think it works"

"Fish on Lent" is supposed to be an act of humility, as it is historically a peasant dish.
"Eggs on Lent" is appropriate not because "eggs aren't chickens until they're hatched" but because eggs are cheap.
Of course, with the price of fish diverging heavily from meat in the wake of factory farming, one might rationally argue that the American lental feast should be burgers.
But this would not be the first time that the dogma of church history outweighs the message they're supposedly teaching.
- I would argue that the American lental feast should be lentils because the words are the same AND they're cheap.
  
  Catholic Galaxy Brain.
- If eggs aren't chickens than a fetus isn't an adult.
  
  If you want to get really theological
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_abortion
  the question isn't whether a fetus is an adult but whether it is "human". And the question of humanity boils down to whether a fetus has a soul. And a fetus doesn't have a soul until "the quickening", which is generally regarded as the point at which a woman can feel the fetus kicking in her belly (typically between week 16 and 25, on the back end of the second trimester).
  So the real question a doctor has to ask before performing an abortion is whether he can detect a soul in the fetus he is aborting.
  
  Your argument was never if fertilized chicken eggs are chickens but if a fertilized chicken egg is meat.
  
  Reread what they wrote
  But the bible promotes abortion as a way to test if the wife was faithful
  Or you can view it as part of God’s plan, a successful abortion means God didn’t want you to have a child

A lot of Christian sects are stupid, but I always found Catholicism particularly inconsistent about their own teachings, even more than Baptists.
- Explain the Baptist ones. I am legit curious
- Hypocrites are stupid like that

The table eggs you eat are not fertilized, therefore not a chicken.
- Fertilized eggs aren't a chicken either though...
  
  Nobody eats fertilized eggs. The eggs we buy in cartons from the grocery store are unfertilized. The hen factory those eggs originate trom has no males anywhere near the ladies.
  It is the rooster's job to fertilize the egg by inserting its sperm into the hen's cloaca during mating. In reality, the process of fertilization is more complex than this brief summary suggests. The journey of the rooster's sperm within the hen is rather arduous until it finally reaches the eggs and fertilizes them.
  
  But no one wants to eat them because they're fertilized.
- And yet you have had eggs that were fertilized at least once. Also that wasn't the answer given on all the Catholics sites I looked at.

I only use the freshest IVF chicken eggs

You don’t want the Catholic Church there. The bible differentiates between Fetus and children.
- Which is why it was such a controversy when the then pope declared that Catholics should not use contraception back in the 60ies.
  
  You realise how sexual morality is different from views on what constitutes a human being?
- Must be a mystery of the church like why certain priests were transferred to help them with their "urges".

Isn’t odd how the MAGA scriptwriters are so good and picking and choosing what they are upset about?
- How does Maga have anything to do with this? This is about Christians, religion not politics.

Google "Balut". It's not that simple. Afaik balut is also not permissible during Lent or on Fridays for catholics.
- I got a Pinay who says that it is. Really doesn't matter because as I have pointed out repeatedly you have had a fertilized egg in your life.
  Bunch of hypocrites

The shampoo bottles:

That imaginary catholic person just got so hypothetically owned!
- Well if that is the worst thing he/she suffers because of their faith they will be doing a lot better than most of Catholics
  
  There is no he/she to suffer when it's a conversation between you and the ghosts that live in your head

That eggs aren't meat doesn't mean they aren't chicken, duh!

Eggs on lent is my usual diner order.

I smell the BS from here and I haven't heard a single bell for 4 years living in Kenmore Washington. Actually I have to say that I haven't seen a single Catholic church nearby. Maybe I need to Google them and they do exist. But man it's soo reassuring not having to be part of any of that BS.
- Tons of Catholics where I live. Thankfully they have yet to criminalize abortion in my state, but I am confident they are hard at work.
  
  I'm done having kids and such, but I'm still gonna do my daily billion half person sacrifice. It's the price we must pay for a few seconds of neuronal Bliss 😆.

Chickens aren't born, they hatch. /s

I love eggs, i love meat. I make it a point to let catholics who annoy me know that I particularly eat meat on Fridays during lent.
