Nope. Everything is not allowed. Everything could be tried as long as you are willing to pay for it. That is the concept of Karma. The payment for eating of cow is hell on Earth. Read soil infertility etc etc. So your bad karma will rub badly on us.
no, everything
is "allowed"
Karma is cause and effect, agle janam mein kasai bhi ban sakte ho, ya shayad pichle janam me kasai they
same cosmic laws apply, no matter what part of earth or what religion you're born into.. only reason why the cow was revered was because these are fertile lands where everything grows anyway, so why kill and bad karma ?
.. but islam for eg, came from the deserts, where
nothing grew.. so food was sacred, and that explains the animal sacrifice bit... to please god, makes sense for both
btw I agree that consuming a light vegetarian diet is the best practice to adopt if you're meditating and trying to be clear of mind, one with the universe etc but these are personal choices.. it's not forced on us like they force stuff on the abrahamics.. thou shalt not/haram.... we don't have these things anywhere.
the cow was considered holy and if slaughter was banned, it was because it was so much better to keep alive.. and even so, I'm convinced people were still killing it for meat even back in the day..
again, everything is "allowed" but some things are discouraged.. it's up to us,
wrt Islam, because pigs are generally dirty and will eat rubbish and human feces even, Muhammed probably saw that and banned it for hygienic reasons... I'll bet "allah" has no problem if a muslim in the modern world eats a peperoni pizza or bacon and eggs for breakfast.. but I'm sure "allah" would be as 'displeased' with even a 'hindu' or a 'christian' if he eats unclean meat which might give us the ebola or something...
2015, time to update your software.. too many ignorance, hate and fascist viruses swimming in people's brains these days
