[QUOTE="ephraimanesti, post: 59556759, member: 131538"] MY FRIEND, [FONT="Arial Black"] It was really inconsiderate of you to introduce this topic at this particular time and ruin my breakfast![/FONT] In any event, yes this is a very valid issue and has been argued back and forth for the past 2000 years. i have been struggling with it of and on and have not been able to come to any lasting conclusions. Had i to make a firm decision at this particular point in time, i would agree with you. In all honesty, the most important consideration i personally would have for switching to vegan is the statistics regarding how many people around the world go hungry or are starving because of the meat consumption in the 1st world countries and all the grain that is wasted feeding and fattening the animals for slaughter. We tend in the West to ignore these facts, but, to me, they are--or perhaps should be--very persuasive for a Christian's conscience. i don't know what other issues God might raise regarding a Christian's diet--scripture more or less seems to condone meat consumption if the eating isn't a stumbling block to others and doesn't include the consumption of blood or the meat of strangled animals. But, thanks to your inconsiderate act of making me think about this issue once again as Lent approaches--a period of veganism as you may know--i think it is something i will bring before the Lord in prayer for the duration of Lent and perhaps not go back to meat after Pascha. Welcome to C.F. and thanks for a good topic to think about and discuss! :bow:ABBA'S SLAVE, [SIZE="1"]ephraim[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
