"We are more attached to the cow than [to] our own children.” What could go wrong with a religion like that?http://nyti.ms/1hmkQ9b

@SamHarrisOrg@bnicetosam stop singling out Hinduism, Harris. All religions believe in the sacredness of cows equally.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg@bnicetosam Fine to believe cows are sacred. To kill for that belief is in general not fine. And Hinduism doesn't ask to kill -
@ichirpy@SamHarrisOrg@bnicetosam yes, I see little difference between "I kill 'cause cow is sacred' and "I kill 'cause my tribe is sacred" -

@bnicetosam@davidBlandry All@SamHarrisOrg is saying: w/o the religious belief that cows r sacred, it'd b hard 2 kill some1 4 eating them.

@SamHarrisOrg@bnicetosam the lack of direct link between Hinduism and killing for certain actions is what differentiates it from Islam.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@bnicetosam why is it embarrassing? What's wrong being nice to cow? For a vegetarian, eating an animal would be disgusting@SamHarrisOrg -
@ichirpy@bnicetosam@SamHarrisOrg It is embarrassing coz it does not good give good arguments and is biased towards only one animal. -
@akshaypamnani05@bnicetosam@SamHarrisOrg We have to understand the benign cultural context here, like in most cultures, ppl dont eat dogs. -
@ichirpy@bnicetosam@SamHarrisOrg Yeah but saying that dogs are sacred and so they should not be eaten is a weird idea. -
@akshaypamnani05@bnicetosam@SamHarrisOrg no offence to gays, but just to make a point, is being gay weird? -
@ichirpy@bnicetosam@SamHarrisOrg Let me rephrase it,why should we respect the idea that a particular animal should be protected? -
