One atheist wrote on another atheist platform in response to my graphics below.

"I worked on a pig farm. I don’t eat pork anymore. They’re disgusting. They eat their dead. They also eat other living pigs prolapses and tails. They also live in their shit. When I smell bacon cooking I smell shit and pig dander. I think those religious folks are on to something."

What do you think about it?

Because the Abrahamic religions are silly.

The Crusades- the three of them!!!!--- You mean those good Christians didn't murder every one in site?

Boy, @St-Sinner, you really hate Muslims.

I am a equal opportunity hater of all religions.

@St-Sinner YEEEEES! Religions are shit! The world's biggest joke!

They taste so friggin good though..

I eat fish. Big fish eat little fish😱The horror. Dude it's your choice, eat whatever you want and works for you.

The story about the Gaderine swine in the bible always puzzled me. If the people couldn't eat pig meat why keep a herd of pigs ?

The pig farm worker's assessment of pigs is a gross mis-characterization. In the wild, pigs are actually clean, intelligent animals. They only appear disgusting to us humans when they are forced (by humans) to live in disgusting (and inhumane) conditions. Ironic, no?

Most of the pigs that are eaten by humans have eaten the food that humans fed to them. They didn't have any choice.

But pigs do not usually kill each other. Which animal does that?

Humans? 🤣

I haven't eaten pork in about 50 plus years. Have always found it unpleasant as meats go. I know it was a part of our diet when I was a child, but I gave it up and never miss it. People who put bacon on everything just can't cook and annoy me!

I like bacon, but I try to avoid it if it is cured with nitrites and nitrates.

Islam is not the only religion who won’t eat pork.

That's was not the point I thought. It is about if the belief makes or made sense then or not. The guy in my comments seems to think it does

@St-Sinner I wonder what kinds of choices he would make if he were stranded on an island where there was no other source of protein besides pigs. Would he let himself waste away to uphold an arbitrary religious edict?

@Flyingsaucesir

Why pigs in that case? Why not snakes?

@St-Sinner Because the focus of your post was....pigs!😂

I grew up in a farm town next to Smithfield, VA (self-proclaimed ham capital of the world). You would be surprised how many animals will eat anything if you cut it up fine enough for them to be able to digest it. The new science of animal husbandry helps with this though, we feed them what we want them to eat. (Just don't send it to China for slaughter and then back to your home country for consumption.) But the quality of meat and the taste depend entirely on how the animal is treated (feed, conditions for living, slaughter process, etc.). I still eat meats, despite knowing how they are raised from birth to plate.

Not only animals eat this way. Humans do too.

Wasn't it just in the late 80's or 90's that farms had to stop feeding cattle the remains of dead cows? That was a common practice, especially in industrial farms. Chopped up remains mixed in with sawdust.

My neighbors have both pigs and chickens. I used to feed the chickens my scraps now I give it to the pigs. I felt guilty giving them scraps from pork dinners. but I was informed that they will eat anything. Chickens will too but pigs have stronger teeth.

My neighbors have an old-fashioned very stinky pigsty. My neighbor also told me that moonshine is almost always raised pigs. She said when the revenuers disappeared they disappeared completely because of the pigs. She also said they were handy for getting rid of stillborn babies that were birthed by unwed mothers.

My cat has become a wonderful gopher hunter. He brought one in the other day that was only half dead. I sure didn't want to kill it so I took it next door and Mama pig enjoyed it. I thought this for sure would make we never want to eat pork again.

Then I cooked some bacon and it smelled wonderful.

Gopher's last thoughts. "Nice human lady is handling me so gently and is saving me. Wait what is.... THAAAT ThinNNG! AAAIIIEEEEEE!"

I imagine it was quick. At least. lol

I love bacon.

Chickens eat each other too, just like fish and many other animals.... I guess cows, sheeps and goats don't participate as they are herbivores. 🤷♀️
And I just enjoyed a nice pork ribs dinner. 😋

Kinda reminds me of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector feeding Ray Liotta's character sauteed slices of his own brain. 😂

I laugh at the cartons on eggs marked "Vegetarian Chickens."
Obviously chickens whose feet have never touched the earth. A chicken is not ever a natural vegetarian.

@BufftonBeotch oooooh don't get me started on that. That is sooooo wrong! Because of marketing, enclosured chickens have to go against their natural being for humans trending habits and selfish beliefs.

@Flyingsaucesir I love that movie. That scene is so strong and well done.

@Zoohome It's one of the more shocking scenes I have ever seen....🤯
