I hate every religion. Its the root cause of so much crap in the world.
Theres no guy sitting up on a cloud.
I take issue with my food being blessed.
I take issue with my food being slaughtered in a certain way to appease religion.
If you pay for animals to be slaughtered on your behalf then I am afraid you contribute to animal cruelty on a grotesque scale and you have no right to oppose any form of animal cruelty. In order to oppose it then you need to be against it, not paying for it to happen.
Animal corpse eaters stance on animal cruelty does make me chuckle.
I've taken no stance on animal cruelty, in your rush to shoot people down you've made a mistake.
As i clearly stated i take issue with religion and it being brought into preparation of my food.
and that is your personal choice not to buy or eat it (as far as im aware all halal food/food vendors are clearly marked)
although i must ask, why does it bother you? I'm an atheist myself, and knowing there is no god makes these blessings utterly meaningless too me, i couldnt care less who waved their hands over my food and said a chant because i know it makes no difference. how do you feel that it affects you?
i dont agree that religion is inherently bad (but thats another discussion i feel), but if i did i certainly dont think taking a stance against blessed food would be a way of opposing it, it seems quite arbitrary
I hate religion, think i explained it clearly in my opening post. Therefore it makes sense i hate anything associated with religion including religious symbolic gestures such as blessing my food.
I've never said it affects me i just don't like it.
And your right i do avoid it, personally KFC food is awful so i avoid anyway.
