Pork Soup?

[MtnBiker]

Is it ethical for a group to hand out soup containing pork to feed homeless people?

[Gaffer]

Sure. Its up to the people whether they want to eat it or not.

It is as long as there isn't some stupid motive behind it.

[Gaffer]

I recommend serving it at Gitmo.

So you can only hand out food it it meets other people's criteria?

Did I say that? If the only motive for serving pork soup is too exclude Jews and Muslims, I'd call that unethical.

Not really the people who do not consume pork do so by their own choosing. They could have the pork soup if they chose to.

I bet you'd scream bloody murder if a Muslim-run shelter demanded everyone swear allegiance to Allah before getting fed. Of course a person's religion is by their own choosing and they could eat if they chose to.

This is not about me. Your analogy would be unethical for the muslims to do as you describe it.

And as I said, whether serving pork soup is unethical or not depends on the motive behind the menu.

Muslims only feed muslims. They will let you convert for food tho. And if you don't convert they will kill you.

Muslim shelters only serve muslims. No one else can get help there.

Even if true, does that make it ethical to force a person in need to choose between upholding their religious principles or going hungry?

If its all I have to offer then they have to deal with it. I would be nice enough to put a sign up saying pork soup.

I'd bet a majority of Americans have to begrudgingly give up some principals to make a buck.

People who don't eat pork because of their religious beliefs don't believe they have a choice.
