I have heard a lot that god made animals so we can eat them right
god also said other things like treat every1 equally love 1another don't kill don't still well u get where i am coming from but do we do exactly as said no so we don't have 2 eat meat
the bible states that we are to be stewards to animals, we are not equal, therefore "thou shalt not kill" doesn't apply to them. Treating animals well certainly falls under the umbrella of good stewardship, but as discussed in other threads there are versus that allow us to eat animal flesh to sustain us, however conflicting the actual story depicted seems to be, and other versus can be interpreted to work for veg*ism as well.
Really though.. if someone uses that excuse and they aren't actually religious and actively living a christian/catholic/whatever life - then using that as an excuse holds no water....it's just something they come up with the cover for the fact they don't know why they do what they do

What God says: treat others equally
What God actually does: sends homosexuals and people who don't follow him to hell
What God says: don't kill
What God actually does: kills millions of people (great flood as one example) for all sorts of obscure and ridiculous reasons
