[Ethics] Why do people condemn Zoophilia on the basis of other animal's inability to consent but those same people kill animals without asking for their consent? Why such inconsistency? (lemmy.world)

In the Bible they had to make a law against it

So they did about eating Pork, but Christians like the taste so eat it anyway.

"Leviticus 11:7-8 that pigs are considered unclean and should not be eaten."

    Funny enough initially in the Bible people weren't supposed to eat meat at all, then they loosened the restrictions but had rules for certain species (although I don't recall if animal sacrifices started before or after this). Then in the new testament they did away with a bunch of rules but in a very vague way so Christians get to cherry pick what they want and when then argue about it with other Christians. Although there was also a story about a blanket or something with a ton of "bad" meat where god said to eat so I guess that counts as justification

    That sentence is from the old covenant, which also requires animal sacrifice among other things. The entire old covenant is not binding for Christians anymore, since Jesus replaced it with the new covenant.
