Why do vegans forbid eating animals while God has allowed it?

Question

it is wrong to forbid that which is not forbidden. And yes, you guessed it, I'm rallying a campaign against vegetarians.

Answer 1

Why would you rally against vegetarians? Simply because they choose not to poison their bodies? Why not rally against Genocide in Darfur? Or against the mistreatment of our veterans? Or against obesity? Seems like your priorities are a little off.

If someone told you (because I know you could never come up with it on your own) that your god allows eating meat, then continue. Judging others is not your place. Do you really think that Jesus would eat factory farmed meat? Or would be for the suffering of his father's creatures? If so, then you really don't understand Christianity at all.

Vegans choose not to eat meat for whatever reason. Ask 1000 different vegans and you'll get 1000 variations on answers.

Edit: If "God" didn't intend for us to be vegetarians, then why did he make it so easy to live without meat? We certainly don't "need" it to survive . . .

Answer 2

I'm vegan. I don't forbid anyone else anything. I make my own choice. You make yours.

Campaign away, little pot.

Ya know. Ya really can't battle the Christian with the Bible. Especially not a Christian who knows scripture as well as I do.

In Eden, before the fall, we were vegetarian. When Isaiah prophecies about the second coming, he states we will return to vegetarianism. Why wait? Let's show God we can live his way right now. By choice. Not by order.

Dear Robert: B-12 gets into your meat because cows eat their poop. B-12 gets on veggies that are fertilized with poop. But then we wash it off. So we substitute with Nutritional Yeast. You go right ahead and enjoy your roast poop.

Answer 3

1.if it's wrong to forbid that which is not forbidden as you say, then women should still be stoned in the streets for adultery and children should be killed for disobeying. These things are not forbidden in the bible either and yet our laws forbid them.

2. We don't all believe in your God.

3. Get out of your mothers basement and get a life.

Answer 4

Why do you care if people are vegetarians? If more people become vegetarians then there will be more meat in the market that needs to be sold. Greater supply, cheaper prices to move it faster. You should be supporting vegetarians so that your grocery bill goes down and you can enjoy more meat for your dollar. If you converted people away from vegetarianism, you would be creating a huge strain on the supply of meat and increase the cost as demand goes up, making you spend more money.

Answer 5

Maybe because God did not permit people to eat meat until after Noah saved them from the flood.

God says in Genesis 1:29, "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit, they shall be yours for food. And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green plants for food." Nothing there about eating animals.

Perhaps some people want to get back to the state of purity described in God's original law before they were cast out of the Eden.

Answer 6

rally away if it makes you feel better, you wont get a rise out of me. Hold your head high and proud that something has to suffer, bleed and die, just for you to satisfy yourself. You go, dude! When you post these stupid questions, is it because you want to convert us back to eating meat, or to make yourself feel better because YOU do? God also said "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", so should I rally a campaign against you for being selfish and uncaring about animals? No, I won't bother to sink to your level. The simple fact that you clearly state you are "rallying a campaign AGAINST vegetarians lets everyone know that you are just jeolous that you dont have the werewithall to pull it off yourself, and that you truly cant wrap your brain around and unusual concept. Like most others, you follow the herd because you are afraid to leave your comfort zone. Bet your mom is SO proud of you! And for that matter, God too

Answer 7

The vegans believe that it is wrong to neglect the preachings of god.But they don't understand that god cannot restrict any one from doing so.All the human beings have the right to live thier life as they want.

Answer 8

Vegetarians tend to be compassionate people and on the whole are a spiritually-minded bunch. So vegetarianism is not in conflict with God's wishes at all. Anyway, I don't think God cares if we eat meat or not, but rather how we treat our fellow humans!

Answer 9

"Animals are God's creatures, not human property, nor utilities, nor resources, nor commodities, but precious beings in God's sight. ... Christians whose eyes are fixed on the awfulness of crucifixion are in a special position to understand the awfulness of innocent suffering. The Cross of Christ is God's absolute identification with the weak, the powerless, and the vulnerable, but most of all with unprotected, undefended, innocent suffering."

"It may be suggested by some books that it is not a sin to kill an animal, but it is written in our own hearts - more clearly than in any book - that we should take pity on animals in the same way as we do on humans."

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

Answer 10

God "allowed" eatting flesh after the Flood. Being allowed something does not change the fact our bodies were designed to eat Vegan.
Why are you bothering to be against another person rights? That is a double edge sword.
