One man with courage makes a majority.-- Andrew Jackson October 11, 2003Didn't Jesus eat fish?Disney joins forces with pro-fish activists: "Fish are friends, not food!"
What about Jesus and the fish? Didn't Jesus eat fish?
Probably not: There is strong evidence suggesting that Jesus was a vegetarian. The only stories depicting Jesus eating fish took place after the resurrection, and most Biblical scholars agree that they are very late additions to the Gospels. The scribes who added the stories were not, apparently, averse to eating fish. But since this is the only depiction anywhere in the Gospels of Jesus eating any animals at all, it seems that he was a vegetarian. Posted by David at October 11, 2003 01:25 PM | TrackBack

What about the story of feeding the 5,000 with fishes and loaves? What about Jesus helping Peter and the disciples fish by casting their nets on the other side of the boat? If Jesus was averse to eating fish, as the Disney "Biblical scholars" claim, then why did he assist in the capture of more fish to eat and feed a mass of people with fish and bread? Disney is in the business of selling fictional tales to kids, and I'll tell you, this one is their biggest whopper-of-a-tale yet. Posted by: laurel at October 11, 2003 03:25 PMTrue enough. Although the stories you cite from the bible are certainly fictional as well. Posted by: AshRyan at October 11, 2003 04:57 PMI have to agree with Laurel here...but also, do fish make very good friends in the first place? The fish I have befriended during my lifetime have always turned out to be traitors and backstabbers. No, wait, that's Ukranians, nevermind...=P Posted by: Mike at October 11, 2003 05:42 PM
