After Corinna complains about an obnoxious and possibly libelous article in the Washington Post, the Dorx welcome legal scholar, philosopher, vegan, and animal rights activist Dr. Gary Francione. We discuss Equality Claims vs Belief Claims, old-school transsexuals, admitting you're wrong, Andrea Dworkin, nonviolence, intersectionality, and the principles of a liberal pluralistic society. Can we police fetishes? Who's Afraid of Kathleen Stock? Why are vegans extra crazy? Does Corinna really not want to be a Good Person? What is “harm”? Despite Corinna disparaging young people going vegan, and Nina swearing a lot about Crohn's disease, Dr. Francione offers a banquet of (plant-based) food for thought.

Gary L. Francione, Why Veganism Matters, the Moral Value of Animals Most people care about animals, but only a tiny fraction are vegan. The rest often think of veganism as an extreme position. They certainly do not believe that they have a moral obligation to become vegan. Gary L. Francione—the leading and most provocative scholar of animal rights theory and law—demonstrates that veganism is a moral imperative and a matter of justice. He shows that there is a contradiction in thinking that animals matter morally if one is also not vegan, and he explains why this belief should logically lead all who hold it to veganism. Francione dismantles the conventional wisdom that it is acceptable to use and kill animals as long as we do so “humanely.” He argues that if animals matter morally, they must have the right not to be used as property. That means that we cannot eat them, wear them, use them, or otherwise treat them as resources or commodities. Why Veganism Matters presents the case for the personhood of nonhuman animals and for veganism in a clear and accessible way that does not require any philosophical or legal background. This book offers a persuasive and powerful argument for all readers who care about animals but are not sure whether they have a moral obligation to be vegan. Gary L. Francione is Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of Law and Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach Scholar of Law and Philosophy at Rutgers University Law School and visiting professor of philosophy at the University of Lincoln (UK). He is the author of many books, including Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation. More at AbolitionistApproach.com/ and HowDoIGoVegan.com.

Our reading passages for today are Genesis 36 and 37, Job 3, Mark 7 and Romans 7. In Genesis we get to read a very long list of Esau's relatives, which isn't the most inspiring chapter in the Bible, but we also meet Joseph in Genesis 37, a man of God who will become one of the more inspiring characters in the Bible. Job 3 sees Job finally talking after a week of silence (and the scraping of his boils with broken pottery shards.), and he is as depressed and undone as we would expect him to be after Satan put him through the ringer. In Mark 7, Jesus is going to blister the scribes and pharisees for overvaluing and overemphasizing their silly (and legalistic!) human traditions, and undervaluing the actual commands and instructions of God. Romans 7, our final read of the day, Paul uses death in marriage to illustrate how those who have died with Christ are free from the Old Testament law. We don't have a focus passage today, but we will read Job 3 first, because we are continuing our discussion from yesterday's big question: Why do bad things happen to comparatively good people? And, FYI, its such a big discussion that it looks like it will spill over into tomorrow as well. Let me say this from the beginning, before we read Job. For literally thousands of years, people have sought to disprove the possibility of an all-mighty and all-loving God by pointing to the presence and reality of suffering, especially the kind of suffering that we would deem 'unfair.' A thorough reading of the Bible - even a surface reading, really - is enough to disabuse one of the notion that good people will not suffer. Today we meet Joseph - possessing the finest character among all his brothers, and yet he will probably suffer the most out of all of them and the vast majority of his suffering is extremely unfair. (Spurgeon said of Joseph, "Joseph was Jacob's best loved and most tried son. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.") John the Baptist and Job also illustrate this issue, but there is an even more obvious illustration that the best in the Bible sometimes suffer the most. The central character and focus of the Bible is Jesus Christ, the son of God. The most unfair thing that ever happened in history was His torture, crucifixion, and death on the cross bearing our sins. The central message of the Bible demonstrates beyond question that bad things will happen to the best of people, and therefore nobody should be surprised when it happens to us. Good people suffering does not disprove biblical truth, it demonstrates and confirms biblical truth. If good people almost never suffered, then we might have reason to doubt the reliability of the Bible in some way or, at least, its relatability, because good people suffer all throughout the Bible. And, as we will see when we read Job 3, that suffering is not minimal or surface suffering, but deep and relatable agony. After this, Job began to speak and cursed the day he was born. 2 He said: 3 May the day I was born perish, and the night that said, “A boy is conceived.” 4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above not care about it, or light shine on it. 5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it. May what darkens the day terrify it. 6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year or be listed in the calendar. 7 Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it. 8 Let those who curse days condemn it, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. 9 May its morning stars grow dark. May it wait for daylight but have none; may it not see the breaking of dawn. 10 For that night did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, and hide sorrow from my eyes. 11 Why was I not stillborn; why didn't I die as I came from the womb? 12 Why did the knees receive me, and why were there breasts for me to nurse? 13 Now I would certainly be lying down in peace; I would be asleep. Then I would be at rest Job 3:1-13 Just listening to that is hard, and even though Job lived thousands of years ago, I imagine that many of us can relate to what Job is going through. He sounds absolutely and utterly depressed and crushed and even suicidal. And why wouldn't he be? He's lost everything but his wife, and she keeps telling him to curse God and die.  5 Biblical Teachings on Suffering: Suffering is universal and unavoidable. Jesus promises it in John 16:33. Peter says don't be surprised when it comes, as if something odd was happening. 1 Peter 4:12-13 “12 Dear friends, don't be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.13 Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of the Messiah, so that you may also rejoice with great joy at the revelation of His glory.” Suffering, in many ways, is a good thing in the long run. . “ 10 My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” Phil 3:10 “24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for His body, that is, the church.” Col 1:24  Along those lines, consider this wisdom from Spurgeon: WE should never have such fellowship with Jesus as we do if we had not such troubles as we have. You cannot see the stars in the daytime, but they tell us that if you go down into a well you can. Sometimes God sinks wells of trouble and puts his servants into them, and then they see his starry promises. You might hunt in vain for glowworms by day, but they shall all be seen at night, and so shall the comfortable words and thoughts of Holy Scripture. The fire-flies shall flash best at night when the sunlight is gone, and so oftentimes the light of the promises is better seen in the night of trouble than in the day of outward prosperity. The black foils of trouble shall bring out the brighter jewel of divine grace. You cannot know Christ except by following in his footsteps. Poverty will reveal him who for our sakes became poor; sickness will show him whose visage was more marred than any man's; shame will teach you his shame, and suffering will reveal to you his suffering; and even death itself, which shall remove the foundations, shall give you conformity to his death that you may have part in his resurrection. 3. Suffering in a Christian can happen because of discipline.. “For the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives. 7 Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline—which all receive—then you are illegitimate children and not sons.”Hebrews 12:6-8 4. Suffering in a Christian can also happen because of God's favor! “4 Therefore, we ourselves boast about you among God's churches—about your endurance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you endure. 5 It is a clear evidence of God's righteous judgment that you will be counted worthy of God's kingdom, for which you also are suffering, Thessalonians 1:4-5 5. Our suffering will pale in comparison to the glory that is to come. A. “ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18  C. H. Spurgeon, Flashes of Thought (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1874), 472. We are going deeper tomorrow into this question tomorrow, but let me expound briefly on that last Romans passage. The Bible teaches that humans are eternal creatures, and that means that our 80 or so years of living on the Earth are a short, short time in light of eternity. That also means that the amount of time we are suffering in our existence will also be short compared to eternity. When viewed through the lens of eternity, the idea of a good God allowing suffering to happen is not so shocking, especially when that suffering can have good effects. I'm a football fan, specifically a University of Alabama fan. (And have been for 40+ years, suffering through the Dubose, Shula and Francione years, as well as the Price day) Paul 'Bear' Bryant was a legendary coach at Alabama, but before he was at Alabama, he was at Texas A&M university, a mediocre football team prior to Bryant's arrival. He purposed to toughen the men up, so in 1954, he took a big group of players to Junction, Texas and sought to forge them into men. Most who went to the camp quit before it was over, but the survivors became known as the 'Junction Boys,' and they would go on to eventually lead Texas A&M back into football relevance. The suffering in Junction did not lead to immediate success, but it did lead to long-term success, and most anybody that understands football understands that Coach Bryant wasn't being cruel to his players, but he was shaping their character and building them into a stronger football team. I am not at all here comparing God to a football coach, but am pointing out that most astute football people can understand the concept of difficult periods of practice leading to a stronger, better football team with greater character and perseverance. If we can understand that, then perhaps we can understand how God might use the suffering of our life for a similar, but much, much loftier goal.  3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5

Our reading passages for today are Genesis 36 and 37, Job 3, Mark 7 and Romans 7. In Genesis we get to read a very long list of Esau's relatives, which isn't the most inspiring chapter in the Bible, but we also meet Joseph in Genesis 37, a man of God who will become one of the more inspiring characters in the Bible.

Reflections will cover recent activity on our page which has proven controversial or which invites a bit of reflection / further discussion. In this week's reflections we comment on a share on our page from Professor Gary L Francione, who in turn was commenting on the non-veganism of Paul McCartney. What was our share really getting at, what were we not saying, what is our view on Abolitionism and the Abolitionist Approach? This is our first Reflections recording and our first audio recording with podcast in mind, so it is something of an experiment. It was not scripted, there was no planning and so it may be something of a ramble. It may also not be word perfect in terms of conveying our viewpoint. We're not perfect ;-) Notes for further reading and listening: Francione and Charlton, Abolitionist Approach: https://www.facebook.com/abolitionistapproach/ http://www.howdoigovegan.com/ https://www.facebook.com/abolitionistapproach/videos/1436568696362880/ https://www.abolitionistapproach.com/audio/ http://www.abolitionistapproach.com/category/podcast/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/animal-rights-the-abolitionist-approach-commentary/id327041563?mt=2 Tom Regan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_pNsWs6_Ho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0dl1BMEZCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-MJKFM0Zs Introduction to Tom Regan’s The Case for Animal Rights: https://animalstudiesrepository.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&context=acwp_awap http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/regan03.htm Charlton and Francione discussion of the history of the animal rights movement, following the death of Tom Regan: http://onhumanrelationswithothersentientbeings.weebly.com/the-blog/charltonfrancionelinden-countermovment-on-tom-regan Francione, Between the Species: Reflections on Tom Regan and an Animal Rights Movement That Once Was: https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.co.uk/&httpsredir=1&article=2165&context=bts On Specieism: https://theresanelephantintheroomblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/speciesism/ On Intersectionality: Human rights and non-human animal rights: http://arzone.ning.com/page/arzone-intersectionality-interviews https://sanctuarypublishers.com/ Go Vegan Scotland: www.goveganscotland.com

Listen HEREWow. I was sheltered for so long at my job.  This is getting back out into the real world and I am finding out again about all my limitations and the things holding me back (myself, basically). It's a painful look in the mirror but worth doing.Here is Peggy's video from The World Vegan Summit - it is so inspiring.  All the videos from the abolitionist approach advocates are so please watch them all.PLEASE learn The Abolitionist Approach to Animal Rights.  Read the Six Principles.  Go on the website and watch all the Videos.  Read the Books - try to get them at your local library if you can't afford to buy them.We can do this people!  We must.Here is my badge I was talking about, that I wear every dayNotes and corrections:1. ARGH so sorry the condition I was talking about is IRITIS (not Rinitis!!!) or Uveitis - here is information about it, it's good to learn about different things people are going through. https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/798323-overview2. I completely forgot that years ago I had heard of one situation that a vegan was going through, who did have a terrible medical condition in which her body could not make or maintain its own cholesterol, and therefore was in an awful situation as was really really struggling to find a way to maintain her vegan diet without dying, literally.  It was a very hard thing, and a long struggle, that was very real, and this was a situation in which animal products (which unlike plants contain cholesterol) seemed to be the only medically viable option for them.  Luckily, and also because this person believed in animal rights they finally found a way (I don't know the exact details) to manage it without having to compromise their veganism.  So I actually also relayed that story to the person I was talking to as well, using it as an example to talk about the animal rights point of view. 3. Sorry if the quality is so bad, I was just planning to do a 10 minute video but it turned into 40 minutes so too big for me to figure out how to upload, so it's now a podcast with really bad audio quality.

Phyllis Tickle founded Publishers Weekly's Religion Department and has written numerous books about modern American Christianity, including "The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why." Phyllis begins our conversation by describing 500-year social, cultural, and religious cycles in parts of the world influenced by Abrahamic faiths. Building upon that, she asserts that our current historical moment lies at the edge of two such cycles. The upshot of this is a breakdown in traditional understandings of authority and a period of chaotic exploration. Emergence Christianity, like other emergent faiths, is developing as a response to this period of transition. Though religion has been a regular theme in the background of The Conversation, this is our first episode dedicated entirely to it. As a result, we introduce a lot of new themes and you will hear fewer explicit connections to earlier episodes. Having said that, there are some interesting ties between Emergence Christianity and the income gap which harken back to Chuck Collins, Francione-like questions of purity versus pragmatism, and more Tim Cannon and Max More-style transhumanism than you'd ever expect.
