Default This question is related to Jainism.?

If Jainism believes in not harming any living organisms, then why does it have no objection to milk (and milk products), silk, wool, leather etc.? Why do they bother about the bacteria dying in potato, onion, ginger, carrot etc.?

Jailism is a sect of Prisonology, followers believe that the ultimate goal in life is to end up behind bars. needless to say, its a dangerous religion

They are a peaceful, inoffensive religion. Why does it benefit anyone to attack Janists?

Bloody Jainists always trying to push their belief of peace and non violence down our throats.

When Jainism was started, there was no knowledge of bacteria etc

It is just a ritual not to kill animals, to force their dogma of non-violence...so they observe it to the extent possible

One as human being can not be 100% non-violent...so there is no need to unnecessary attack Jains

Let them believe what they believe...after all they are also on the path of Truth..like us...

We know we cannot prevent harming every living organism, but we can try to minimize suffering.
