Blind Belief and Blind faith, have been destroying the society.

Thousands of people are killed in the name of blind practice.

If your theory, logic, concerns are true, then go to any foreign
You will save there millions of cows daily.
Their main food is beef.

All not equal all these cows.
Any difference between these cows and your cows.
Because nobody will agree with you, regarding your belief on cow.

If you don't want to eat beef, don't eat, don't force others to follow your belief.
We don't know when will you change your thinking in this scientific age.
