Why don't piranha eat each other? -
05-31-2011, 05:47 AM
I was asked this question by an atheist earlier and I honestly didn't know. I had built my case for morality only coming from God as to why we don't murder one another, when he hit me with this question.
I admit, I know little of the creation sciences. I am more of a biblical scholar/ historian.
I know that we are to Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
I suppose that is why piranha don't eat each other anymore, but that would require me to believe that priests taught them not to eat each other and than Catholics are really Christians.
I am against a rock and a hard place on this one.
If piranha don't eat each other, then maybe God's laws are written on the hearts of all things?
Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
No, that's just "my people".
Please help!

Piranha do eat each other, that's called cannibalism, a phenomenon very natural in the wild life.
But they only do that in times of famine (the piranha's), when food is rare in times of dry season. Some animals (not all of them) eat their own kind, some specie of cocodiles eat their own kind (smaller ones of course).
Nothing devilish, just a natural reaction to famine.

You don't find anything "devilish" about cannibalism?
Wow.

So they do eat each other. This is proof that life without God causes people to eat each other.

Cannibalism under humans where famine is rare is an unnatural phenomen in our species habits, then yes it's 'devillish' (not normal) when it happens with humans. I said that SOME species do that for the survival of their kind where food isn't enough for all, is that so weird?
By the way, life without god?
What's that? I thaught you 'believed' that everything was under control by god,
so only what contradicts you're beliefs is 'not god', damn that's easy!!
You are a bunch of douchs. You don't even read the whole damn post.

I don't suppose atheists would find anything devilish. Perhaps piranhas are atheists?

I don't think that is quite right: Three points
1. Cannibalism takes place when you are under siege.
2. Cannibalism is OK under those circumstances
3. It's best to start eating the children first - you can have more of them, but there is only one of you!
DEU 28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

So according to your ethos, you believe it's OK to eat people if you are hungry enough?

Even in famine periods primates turn very rarely to cannibalism (and we are primates).
There are some cases of cannibal chimpansees and humans but we can't count them as a appropriate example of natural habits of primates. People who are very hungry and inclosed with people, get to be dilusional and paranoiac by being closed in small places and missing nutrition. Some reacts very agressivly and get mad by trying to eat other guys, but that's more madness than natural reaction to famine.
Because it isn't in our species habits. Besides, in our society we have largely enough of food, if there isn't enough food for a population of humans, the population dies of to a number of individuals where food is again in appropriate quantities. Humans have also a manner of living to substain food even in times of great deppression. Piranha's has a different natural strategie and living style that doesn't applie to humans. Get it now?

Piranha are cannibals, Piranha are not cannibals. Humans are animals, and it's okay for animals to eat each other but not for humans to eat each other.
Could you please make up your mind?

My fault that you ask so stupid questions that I must give some background information. Besides I answered your question.
So it's a crime in our society for humans to kill and to eat each other and it's only debatable if someone survival is at stake in a very specific condtion like those those guys who ate the dead passengers of that crashed plane in the mountains in order to survive.
But like I said, humans don't that naturally (only rarely in inhumane conditions where some get mad), even in times of famine.

Son, I get mad all the time and I do not eat anyone. Please, do not justify your disturbing ways to us.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

No, you didn't answer my question. When someone asks you a simple yes-or-no question, and you give a long-winded response that dances all around the issue but neither includes the word 'yes' nor the word 'no', then you did not answer the question.
Are you a politician?

The fact that he refuses to answer the questions shows what's Lanfeust's answer really is; YES! He thinks it's right to eat out other people. You can just tell by the way he refuses to give an answer.
I bet Lanfeust would like to eat me out even as we speak. The man is disgusting.

Those people were mo rons. Eventually they did what any sane person would have done in the first place. Taken stock of their situation and trekked for help. THAT is what saved their lives, not cannibalism!
