im a vegetarian and he isnt!. but he has a problem with it!.

he brings out the bible and blahblahblah!.

but we're not christians, and anyway, i dont think its right for him to make a big deal outta MY choice!. he says he loves all of me, and this is a big deal!.!.!.what do i tell him about it to make him change!?
or at least to make him stop nagging!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Genesis 1:29
Gods original plan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Heres something from the bible to show him:

Ecc: 3-18
"As for men God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals!. Mans fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other!. All have the same breath man has no advantage over the animal!. Everything is meaningless!. All go to the same place; all come from dust and to dust all return!. Who knows if the spirit of the man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth!?"

He needs to respect your decision, it is your choice of what you put into your body!. Sit him down and politley tell him how much it means to you to be a vegetarian and how much it hurts that he wont respect your decision!. Let him know that you don't care if he eats meat, it is his choice!.

Good luck:)Www@FoodAQ@Com

He sounds like a hypocrite!. Definition:1) a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings!.

1!. He quotes the bible and is not Christian!.
2!. He says he loves all of you but has a problem with what you eat!.

There is nothing you can do about it to make him change!. As far as to get him to stop nagging!? Sorry, but I would get a new boy friend!. I could not stand someone nagging at me three meals a day!. He is trying to get you to give into his ways, which is not the way someone shows them that they love "all of me"!. What does that mean anyway!?

Sorry, I know you are looking for a answer as far as a way to change him, but I don't think it is going to happen if he is bringing out the bible to "convert" you!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't like when people use the bible, when it comes to eating meat the bible can really be interpreted either way!.

i don't think there is anyway to make him go vegetarian!. but he has no right to care what you eat as long as you are being healthy, and being vegetarian is healthy as long as you eat a variety of fruits and veggies!.
i'd just make the compromise with him that he doesn't bug you about what you eat and you won't bug him about what he eats!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe show him this!.!.!.

Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it!. They will be yours for food!. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food!." And it was so!.

Well!.!.!.!. it doesn't say anything about eating meat HERE, does it!? ;)
I don't get why he's using the Bible if he doesn't even believe it =/Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ask him if he thinks the Garden of Eden (when everyone and everything ate only plants) or the world after the Flood (when God gave people permission to eat meat) represents God's ideal world!. IF that doesn't work, say "I am not telling you what to eat, your comments are hurtful, and I'd like them to stop!." If that doesn't work, tell him you'll go eat elsewhere if he decides not to leave you in peace!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would tell him to take his bible and hit the road!. Its none of his business what you eat, as long as you both mutually respect each others choices!. If he is making a big deal out of your food choices, and trying to control THAT, whats he going to do with far bigger issues!? Kick him to the curb and eat what you want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

HEY! I'm 100% Christian and a veggie too! God says take care of the animals plus eat them, but if you don't treat them right - which butchers often don't - how can you rightfully eat an animal!? By the way, it's a personal belief and if you're not gonna give it up, tell him it's all or nothing - if he really loves you he'll put up with some tofu :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Would you like a nice red juicy bloody piece of a cow carcass!? I would! I love meat! Yummy in my tummy! SHoe laces and vaccums are a twist carpet dish!

im sorry but He seriously needs to get over himself
what you eat isnt going to change your personality
Theres nothing wrong with vegetarians
half my friends are vegetarian!. im not a vegetarian, no big deal!.
he should accept it especially if he says he loves you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

im a veg 2 & every1 always brings that up!. i hate it2! I just say well, its my choice and screw you if u dont like it!. but in your case just tell him your views and tell him it bothers you when he says things like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if he's going to use the Bible!.!.!.

Colossians: 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Www@FoodAQ@Com

sounds like a big problem!. I don't think that you can change him!. Time to move on, and find someone else, who understands your beliefs on this issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Who is he!? Your dad!? And if he is your dad, what is the big deal, you are showing compassion, a very christian thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing will make him stop!. If you cannot agree now perhaps you should get away from each other!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
