It might give the impression that the Russian military were captured after having been wounded. But that’s not the case. At the end of the video, we can see Ukrainian soldiers shooting all the newly arrived prisoners through their legs.

The moral here is that you can get to heaven as long as you have an obedient camel.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank you most graciously for the coronaviruses you unleashed on us.

Nice touch.  

The earthquakes, tsunamis, congenital diseases, cancers were not enough to please you, you sicko.

Next time, the crucifixion will not be enough.  

You will be impaled then ripped alive into small bits and pieces and fed to the lions.

Fuck you and the cloud you sit on, LOL.

Dogs are food, if you want to eat them. They, also, are living beings. Treat them well before you kill them for food, if that is what you want to do. After all, you wouldn't be mean to beef cattle before you slaughtered them, would you? You treat cattle well, because they produce better food for you that way. Well treated dogs would be better tasting food if you treat them well before slaughter.

Orientals have a different mindset than Europeans and Americans. To Europeans and Americans, the Oriental mindset looks mean. And when you compare it to standard love, it seems to be this way. But because of their mindset, hurting animals being used for food is not wrong to many of them.

For the Yulin dog meat festival, some dogs are stolen from their owners and beaten or bled to death. Then they’re hung upside down from hooks, a slit cut from their anus and skin ripped off their bodies (many while still alive and conscious), and sold to be eaten.

The suffering must be unbearable -- new research shows that in terms of emotion, dogs' brains are much like ours, something dog owners and lovers understand well. When we see dogs for what they are -- living beings with thoughts and feelings -- the torture they endure at this 'festival' becomes unimaginable.

So far, you have definitely not passed the Turing test.

Good point! I used Google, that should do nicely to verify my findings that Hell definitely exists.

Hell definitely exists.
There's Hell's Half Acre, Wyoming.
Hell, Michigan
Hell, California
Hell, Grand Cayman
These place are bad, sure, but there may be worse. Fleatown, Ohio, or Virginville, PA. If that's not enough, head to Boogertown, NC, Intercourse, and Spread Eagle.

It should not. There, the baby was not given a choice.

I have been struggling to figure a moral and ethical way to resolve this crisis, and after much thought I have a fully scientifically solution for your consideration.

We take 30 dogs for these tests. To qualify the dogs MUST BE peoples' pets.

The 30 dogs are put into the cages in the Testing Area, where each day they are presented with two bowls of food (A) dry cereal dogwood, typical of what they've had all their loving life (B) barbecued puppy.

Supervising humans with clipboards record whether the dogs ate (A) or (B).

At the end of a week, the dogs are released back to their owners with packages of the preferred food.

If a statistically significant fraction of the dogs preferred (A) then all dog meat festivals should be banned forever. If a statistically significatantological fraction of the dogs prefer (B) then the matter shall be banned from Twitter.

Luke 16:23

Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’

Revelation 20:13

And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them; and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds.

Revelation 20:14

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

“If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” Psalm 139:8

“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” Psalm 16:10

“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” Acts 2:31

“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Remember,according to the gospel his body was left in a tomb and not buried so here it seems to imply he then went to the heart of the earth (Hades?) for 3 days/nights before his ressurection.

Hades—better known to Catholics as the Limbo (perhaps purgatory where those who are imperfect but not damned are sent to be refined) of the Fathers—that Christ descended after Crucifixion, Church tradition says.
-But, significantly, the power of His presence was nonetheless was felt in the farthest reaches of hell, according to Aquinas.

The Final Judgment/Revelation
The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death— the lake of fire.And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.This is the second death.

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.(Perhaps the spirit or sould is detached from the bodily human level of existence after death but nevertheless still both the righteous and the wicked continue to exist in a conscious personal way after death, but the experience of people in these two groups is significantly different. Both are unembodied but personally, consciously alive, and their experience in the intervening period is an anticipation of the different destinies that await them after resurrection and judgment.Sheol in the Old Testament and Hades in the New Testament were both references to the place of the dead, and so they were the common expectation for both the righteous and the wicked. But there are indications that this state was unpleasurable for the wicked (having more the nature of hell), whereas it might be a place of spiritual cleansing or refining  for those who are not damned and destined for the second death.

You're not going to get a better, wiser, saner, free-er China by worrying about and criticizing their use of dogs.

You might get it by carefully criticizing certain aspects of the human rights and freedom issues.

But the extent of prejudice against Westerners in China runs deep. More likely the generations that knew what Mao was will just die off, then the younger generations will see things very differently. Mostly.
