vegan steps

Yesterday my mother baked vegan double chocolate cookies. Semi-sweet (no milk) chocolate and margarine not butter.

And they're damn fine.

I'm assuming that's slightly sarcastic? Do the two have anything necessarily in common?

I'd be a vegan, but I love animals too much...






...fried, baked, rotisserie, barbecued...





...after all, God said to Peter "Go, Kill, Eat." :)

not being sarcastic at all!

think about it. when god make us, in the garden of eden, he made us perfect.. there was no sin (before the fall), and therefore, there was no death. adam and eve must have been created vegan, because you can't eat an animal unless it's dead. they must have eaten the things that god meant for them.. fruits and veggies from the *garden*.

shouldn't we strive to be the people that god created us to be?

Actually anonymous, that's really bad logic, because:

1. God make Adam and Eve clothes with animals

2. God told Noah that the animals were there for food and clothing

3. God instituted a sacrificial system

4. God told Peter to kill and eat animals

In a world without death every creature is vegan, but in the world that does have death it is natural and necessary for animals to feed off / live off each other.

That being said if I were a vegan it would be for ethical reasons (e.g. animals being abused, billions of starving people because we feed cows and not humans, etc.) and not for biblical or health reasons.

Meat is tasty, God doesn't care if I eat it... but he definitely cares how I get it.

Amen brother....I love meat too much to give it up, though I suppose there are other ethical reasons for not eating it....

On a totally different note...well I guess it isn't different-but for historical interest-Hitler was a vegetarian. That would make an interesting t-shirt.

it's not bad logic, because all those things happened AFTER sin, that is not the way that god intended to be. i believe that god made all creatures.. human and animal, vegan in the beginning, when the world was still perfect, because that's the way he intended. it's only after sin and death entered the scene that perfection got screwed up.

What evidence is there that God made Adam and Eve vegan in the beginning?

Vegetarian yes, it's implicit in the fact that there was no such thing as death.

Vegan, debatable, we have no idea whether or not they used such things as milk, wool, butter, silk etc. that can be gathered without the death of the animal involved.
