It's hilarious. Even after only a couple of months, the first few bites and I started getting light headed. A few more and my stomach was like, "Oh fk you guy"....

Yep.

The only place I even really bring it up at is ACF.

My friends know I do it, and they don't really say much about it. One of my vegetarian for nearly a decade friends made fun of me for it Thursday, though.

Weird. Well, enjoy.

Why do you think it's weird?

Lots of religions teach the practice for similar reasons.

My original thought was based on the idea of lent, having a catholic mother. I'm openly atheist agnostic, but I do think a lot of the teachings of religion have merit philosophically. I don't know why it's that different than saying I'm giving up meat for lent because of my religious beliefs.

I didn't mean it in a bad way, just kind of like *shrug*.

Usually people seem to do it because they think chickens and cows get treated worse than fish or whatever. The idea of it being an annual thing strikes me as a bit weird, but whatever floats your boat man.

Calling yourself an atheist and an agnostic in the same breath is so retarded.

I do believe that our meat industry is disgusting. Not because of the animal cruelty per se, but instead the industrialization, over marketing and over consumption of it. That's not enough to get me to give up steak, though. I really like steak. I do try to buy cruelty free meat, but in the long run, human beings are omnivores. We can not digest most complex vegetables that would serve as a substitute to meat.

I don't believe that fish are less deserving of humane treatment than other animals. That's why I designate my annual diet as pescetarianism, unlike a lot of "vegetarians" that don't consider fish meat for whatever reasons.

I've noted the two main reasons that I give exception to fish. My soy allergy being foremost reason, followed by the fact that I laugh at the slogan "meat is murder"... The final reason is that I just really like fish. *shrug*

Oh?

There is a difference between knowing and believing.

Thinking that gnosticism is the same as theism is pretty stupid...


I can put in plain words so that you might understand them.

I don't believe in a god or higher being. However, I do not know whether there is or isn't one because doing so is logically impossible...

I am an atheist agnostic. I dont know whats up but dont believe in the vague placeholder "higher power."

But more to the point, eating fried fish is bad for you, it kills most of the healthy parts of fish and eating it more than twice a week has been linked to strokes.

Indeed. When traveling with other people, though, you really only have that or the other crap.

I used to really like fish and chips, but after eating it three times last week because it was the only thing on the menu... yah....

*shrug*
