Talking Veganism

Hello!

I am very new here, so be kind! I am a Vegan and an Animal Rights Supporter, I love and am very proud of my contributions to all beings. One of the most annoying things on my Vegan forum is people coming in saying "but Jesus ate meat", I am still at a loss for how Jesus could be the standard for everything good and right. The Bible overall is worse!

I also heard that "Well, God was the inspiration for the bible, so who cares who it is written by"...Well, I hate to shock that person, but I care. Man is imperfect, the concept of God is imperfect, how can imperfect man justify a perfect God?

I became Vegan not due to "divine intervention" but an awareness of myself and the world around me, which is the same reason why I moved away from religion. I love embracing this philosphical practices, it is still all new to me. I love the open mind thinking of Agnosticism..

Well, Thanks for listening,

Hope to hear from everyone soon!
Respectfully,
Mags
