<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Evening Darsana -- July 8, 1976, Washington, D.C.|Evening Darsana -- July 8, 1976, Washington, D.C.]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee (1): The Christians say that Christ ate meat himself, that there's nothing wrong with it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm? Christ ate meat? I don't think so.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: They say fish.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore you should maintain slaughterhouse. Very good reasoning. Because Christ ate fish, therefore we should maintain big, big slaughterhouse? Is that good reasoning?</p>
<p>Dr. Sharma: Meat-eating is not useful from three points of view.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, apart from that. He said that Christ ate fish, therefore we should maintain big, big slaughterhouse. What do you think? Is that good reasoning?</p>
<p>Devotee (2): No, it's demoniac by common sense if you maintain large slaughterhouses, it's completely irreligious.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: When Christ said "Thou shalt not kill," does it mean that he wanted to maintain slaughterhouse? What is the answer, hm?</p>
<p>Devotee (1): No.</p>
<p>Vṛṣākapi: The Christians say that you kill the vegetables, you slaughter the vegetables.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore we shall kill father, mother. You kill vegetables, therefore I shall kill my father and mother. Is that reasoning?</p>
<p>Dr. Sharma: I have a different concept of (indistinct), if I may give: When I'll be half as good as Christ, maybe I can be permitted to eat meat.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, take the example of Christ. But because he ate fish, so because we eat vegetables, therefore a good cause for eating father and mother? For killing child?</p>
