The eggs we buy in supermarkets come from hens who have never seen a cock.
It’s basically bird menstruation in a shell.
Yeah, looks like a lot of motherfuckers don’t know how eggs work. Absolutely not a gotcha.
It’s about on par with the “every sperm is sacred” idea which to some extent is part of Catholic doctrine.
Next explain why you can eat fish when you aren’t allowed to eat meat. It was always about money/scarcity/greed
Seriously speaking, does someone have an answer to the land animal meat vs fish thing? I’m curious now
I wasn’t saying I wanted to, I was just asking if the Catholic Church would let one eat them on Fridays.
It’s not a problem as long as the eggs weren’t incubated for too long. It will take for a while before anything visible developes
I mean I get it but generally you don’t eat fertilized eggs
Yea just like Catholics don’t consider unfertilised human eggs to be humans
The Catholics are consistent this time
How many people do you think own roosters compared to the number of people who eat eggs? It’s gotta be less than 1%
Does the quantity of roosters determine the validity of the argument? How many fertilized eggs must be eaten to meet your metric?
beavers and capybara are classified fish by the Catholic Church
no, but alligators and puffin.
my basic understanding is that people wrote intentionally advantageous descriptions of the animals when submitting them to the Vatican for approval or something. like they just stressed how much time the animal spends in water and not much else, and the pope wrote back saying “yeah that’s okay”
Iirc the capybara thing was a special dispensation to help out indigenous tribes in south America
Yikes. Someone didn’t pay attention in school. They’re having a.fantasy gotcha conversation where they’re the hero, though…
Not related to this point but also fish isn’t meat according to them.
