Are atheists more likely to inflict pain on animals, wage war, commit ecocide?

Is atheism correlated to brutality toward animals?

C S Lewis and others



Quote:
Only 7 percent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences (which promotes vivisection) believed in God, while only 3.3 percent believed in God in the animal
research sponsoring UK’s Royal Society.
The National Science Foundation in the US teaches children
to harm animals. Science Friday, carried by fast food invested
NPR, regularly features vivisectors, vaccine mongers and pharmaceutical hacks.

Atheists are more likely to accept only what their finite and flawed
senses tell them. Since human eyes, ears, etc. register
only a tiny fraction of the spectrum of light, sound waves
etc., atheists are more limited in their fields of observation.
*
In the biological sciences, atheists are more likely to be
necrologists, causing death after suffering to sentient mammals, birds,
reptiles, fishes.
*
Atheists are also necrologists in the field of weapons,
constructing atom and hydrogen bombs, cruise missiles,
drone planes, chemical and biological warfare.
*
65% of Japanese, with the most brutal culture in the world
for whales, are atheists, according to The Cambridge companion to atheism. Cambridge, England while 72%
of whale killing and sealclubbing Norway are.

True scientists do not greedily scramble for unethical pharmaceutical
or military spending contracts.... do not arrange the results
according to the preordained specifications of drugpushers,
war profiteers etc.

Nor do they like untold numbers of the APA participate in the military and CIA torture
by waterboarding, electric shock, cold water immersion, being hung
from the ceiling by hooks, food deprivation, water deprivation,
subjection to loud noise, beating, death etc.
of illegally held sometimes kidnapped prisoners. One such is
M Siegelman of the University of Pennsylvania who through frequent
shocking of dogs developed the brutal military intelligence technique
of learned helplessness. He has just been given a 31 million dollar
contract by the Obama regime.

As those trained in how to kill in the military are more likely
to kill domestically, as the UK used to exclude butchers from
juries because of the desensitizing effects of their jobs, so
scientists and medical doctors have had a number of serial
killers (though the opportunity to sign a death certificate
without a 2nd or 3rd opinion has helped to obscure this).

LAB RESEARCHERS, VIVISECTORS, BIOLOGY DISSECTORS

1. Jeffrey Dahmer in a tv interview before his death
said he first became fascinated with dead flesh in a biology
class in a Bath Ohio high school in which he was
required to cut apart animals. Dissection becomes vivisection.
www.pcrm.org
2. Dr Michael Swango www.poetwill.org
MD of Ohio State, serial killer of more than 100 people in
the US and Africa was trained in this primate research school
to objectify animals, to see them as creatures
without rights. Other university administrators in Ohio say
they are shortchanged in research dollars in cutting edge
technologies because 60 million dollars of State of Ohio subsidies go to OSU animal harming research. www.poetwill.org
3 Leonard Lake
This Californian who killed 19 known and many unknown victims
(bone fragments not identified) copied a frequent biology experiment, that of dissolving animal flesh in acid, an experiment taught in both public and parochial schools. Lake as a high school student dissolved many mice in acid. www.amnesty.org
www.afsc.org
4. Jack The Ripper was a physician trained in vivisection (cutting animals open alive).
www.stopanimaltests.com www.emorylies.com
5. Senator Bill Frist, member of a family of billionaires made
so by their hospital chain, wrote in his autobiography that
as a medical student at Harvard he had portrayed himself
as an animal adopter at a Boston shelter. Through this
process he took more than 1 cat to Harvard to be killed
in lab research. www.democrats.com
6. A Cleveland MD, Frank Sweeney serial killer of between 12 and 40 victims was never
apprehended by Eliot Ness, FBI agent of tv show fame,
because of Sweeney's political connections. The
physician had been trained as a vivisector.
7. A British MD Harold Shipman presently in jail for the murder of 218
was also trained as a vivisector. He was a physician
involved in mercy killing. He did not have a right
to play God, but his motivation was compassion.

A BUTCHERS
1 Michael Ross of Connecticut, strangler of 8
women, said that as a small boy he was forced to strangle
the sick chickens on his father's poultry farm. Ross was
murdered by the governor, prosecutors and judges of Connecticut.
www.upc-online.org www.christianveg.com
2. Robert Silviera in jail in Eugene Oregon for the
murder of 28 people who traveled as hobos.. was subjected as a
child to a father who cut off his pet rabbits' heads and cooked
them for dinner, telling him they were chicken.
www.meatout.org
3 British juries in the 19th century did not allow
butchers to judge others. It was felt that the job of killing
animals desentitized them to suffering.
www.ivu.org/recipes
4. In late Nov, 2000, international tv networks
reported that a butcher sold his five year old
nephew to the west for 90 thousand dollars. The boy
was scheduled to be killed for parts. Russian police stopped the
killing. www.worldanimalnet.org
5. Frank Perdue, of Perdue chickens, told others that his
father killed his pet chick when he was 6. Perhaps if his father
had been kinder, billions of Perdue chickens might not have been
slaughtered. (Tyson's, Ohio Fresh Eggs, Perdue and other factory farms have all had deaths totally in the billions
of animals from tornado, freezing, disease, suffocation.)
6. Timothy McVeigh worked at Burger King and was trained to kill in the military.
7. Robert Pickton, serial killer of 60 some prostitutes
and other women, fed their bodies to the pigs on his farm.
B. EXTERMINATORS
Professional exterminators objectify and eliminate animals for a living. They are more
likely than others to kill pets. Tom Delay was an exterminator before
he worked to advance Bush regime wars in the House.

Atheists have a belief system which they cannot substantiate... that God does not exist.

Some atheists refer to themselves incorrectly as agnostics as well. Atheism is a belief system. Agnosticism is a quest for knowledge.
*
Atheists are ideologues who place the template of
disbelief over all the phenomena they observe.
*
Some atheists argue that if God existed there would be
no suffering in the world.

*
One cannot judge Buddha by Buddhists, Jesus by
Christians, Krishna by Hindus etc.

Only an infinitesimal percentage of these religions' adherents measure up to their founders' examples. Only a fraction of theists believe in the literal fundamentalist interpretation of their Christian or Jewish religious writings, many of which have passed through multiple
translaters. The Bhagavad Gita exists in the same
Sanskrit translation in which it was written 5000 years
ago as does the Ramayana written 20,000 years ago. A British judge appointed by British invaders
in India, William Jones, wrote: Sanskrit is more perfect
than Latin, more copious than Greek, more exquisitely
refined than either. Sanskrit is the only language
whose characters when sounded match the pattern
of the sound vibration.


C S Lewis, himself on Oxford's faculty, on the brutality of Oxford and other vivisectors (those who
inflict pain on animals)
Quote:
The very same people who will most contemptuously brush aside any consideration of animal suffering if it stands in the way of 'research' will also, in another context, most vehemently deny that there is any radical difference between man and the other animals. The victory of vivisection marks a great advance in the triumph of ruthless, non-moral utilitarianism over the old world of ethical law; a triumph in which we, as well as animals, are already the victims and of which Dachau and Hiroshima mark the more recent achievements. In justifying cruelty to animals we put ourselves also on the animal level. We choose the jungle and must abide by our choice. I wish they would remember that the charge to Peter was “Feed my sheep,”not “Try experiments on my rats,”or even “Teach my performing dogs new tricks.”

Albert Einstein: God does not play dice with the universe.

People who have experienced God's power through deep meditation, yoga, miracles, visions,
revelations... and know that the individual soul continues after shedding the body are less hedonistic. They are not under the illusion: "You only
go around once... so get all you can get."

Many scientists worship the mind, a mind frequently disconnected
from the heart. Atheist scientists are less likely to experience empathy,
or flashes of intuition.

The Saint of Shirdi: Scientists are akin to glowworms bathed
in the light of a billion blazing suns, a light they cannot see.
