Ah, you fell for one of the classic blunders: expecting your opponent to value logic and consistency in their opinions

Yeah my fault. You can't really expect them to treat logic with respect when they are balls deep in an altarboy.
As the below comments have shown, lmao
"The card says 'Moops'" (great video on this style of Internet "debate" that's only gotten worse since it was published)
This is a good video. I found a transcript for people like me who prefer text: https://www.readtpa.com/p/innuendo-studios-card-says-moops-seinfeld
THANK YOU. I wish every YT video had this... I tried to resist watching the "voice over stock graphics" or "watching a guy with headphones and RGB lights on his bedroom wall" videos for a long time but they have long since supplanted what would've been a nice forum post, reddit self/text post, or blog entry.
I dread the day even these will become "part 1 of 5" tik tok/shorts or painfully broken into Twitter "threads" (I know we're already halfway there)

Eggs aren't fertilized and thus aren't embryos tho.
I already checked they can eat fertilized eggs as well.
I mean, unless people are eating Filipino Balut on a regular basis.... I don't think that the vast majority of eggs are fertilized.
I guess Balut is a good question and the island / city of Ilo Ilo is predominantly Catholic. So I could ask around lol. But honestly, I avoid that food. It just doesn't look right....
I looked it up and it doesn't matter for the purposes of lent if it is fertilized or not
Could you give a source? Not calling you a liar just curious
I don't see any specific mention of fertilized eggs in that page. I don't think it's safe to assume just because they don't explicitly mention it that the rule is the same.

I mean you say that but I'm pretty sure my mom's island is the only place in the world where fertilized eggs are eaten on a regular basis and also has a majority Catholic population.
And I've never heard of this situation really coming up. I'd expect the answer to be written in Ilocano as well.
How and where did you look this up?

Maybe not anymore, but they were for thousands of years while this has been practiced.

Wrong. Eggs can be fertilized. Many people eat them without even realizing.
It's unlikely a factory farm would bother to have a rooster around after the hens start laying.
We're talking religion here, so I guess it could be a virgin fertilization...

Logic in religion? Sorry, friend, but that's a no can do
To be fair, convincing anyone with facts and logic is pretty tough (and not just for me), religious or not.
Turns out, that's not how humans work most of the time...
to paraphrase an interaction I saw screenshotted somewhere at some point:
"you can change people's opinions with facts"
"[link] here's a study saying that's incorrect"
"well I still think it works"
It's not logically sound to try to convince someone that you can't change opinions on the internet. Either you fail or you prove yourself wrong.

"Fish on Lent" is supposed to be an act of humility, as it is historically a peasant dish.
"Eggs on Lent" is appropriate not because "eggs aren't chickens until they're hatched" but because eggs are cheap.
Of course, with the price of fish diverging heavily from meat in the wake of factory farming, one might rationally argue that the American lental feast should be burgers.
But this would not be the first time that the dogma of church history outweighs the message they're supposedly teaching.
I would argue that the American lental feast should be lentils because the words are the same AND they're cheap.

A lot of Christian sects are stupid, but I always found Catholicism particularly inconsistent about their own teachings, even more than Baptists.
Explain the Baptist ones. I am legit curious

I only use the freshest IVF chicken eggs
You don’t want the Catholic Church there. The bible differentiates between Fetus and children.

Isn’t odd how the MAGA scriptwriters are so good and picking and choosing what they are upset about?

Google "Balut". It's not that simple. Afaik balut is also not permissible during Lent or on Fridays for catholics.
