Vegetarians, does tis bug you?!

Vegetarians, does tis bug you?

I drives me crazy when I tell ppl I dont eat meat, then they go into this whole thing about how I should b/c God put the animals here 4 us 2 eat. But nowhere in the Bible does it say you HAVE to eat meat! It gets on my nerves so bad. I would understand if you lived in a poor country and had no other choice but meat, but there are other ways to get protein other than meat. Anyway...... I dont eat meat, b/c of my own reasons and ppl should not b/c I want to go against God.

I am a Christian, I just think ppl should not say that every time the herar I dont eat meat!

Well, the Bible also says not to wear more than one kind of fabric at once, but I'm sure those same people who are preaching the Bible are wearing more than one kind of fabric.

The Bible also says that plants existed before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic process. . .

Also, the Bible is not the only religious text in the world.

Most religions pick and choose what to believe from their texts. In any one religion, there is a wide range of "interpretations." I mean, you'd think there'd be one specific belief, set in stone. But, no, that's not how it is. So I think any belief has just as much chance of being right or wrong as the million of other beliefs in the world. That's why I personally don't take part in any specific religion and find it silly to bring religion into every single little thing - from politics right down to what we eat now. . .

If you want to delve into the other interpretation of the Bible, everything in the Garden of Eden was vegetarian. They were told not to eat from the "tree of life" and they did, and that was a sin - not an apple. Please, I eat apples every day. . .
Anyway, the Bible also states that one day, the lion will once again lay down with the lamb.

It's kind of sad to not take into consideration that just maybe "God" put us all here to evolve and learn and grow. . .humans and non humans. . .that we all have a soul, but circumstancially were born into differnt bodies. . .

Quoting Jesus from the Essene Gospels of Peace:

"'Thou shalt not kill,' for life is given to all by God, and that which God has given, let not man take away. For-I tell you truly, from one Mother proceeds all that lives upon the earth. Therefore, he who kills, kills his brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death. For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath their breath to stink; in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones to chalk; in his bowels their bowels t o decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales; in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death."

"Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest you become the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leads unto death. But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way of life. Obey, therefore, the words of God: 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every green herb for meat."
