[QUOTE="before.the.fall, post: 69832856, member: 388855"] Hi! New member here, just checking in as a strict vegetarian (AKA vegan). Hi to everyone! I'm going to come back and read through here soon! I just wanted to say one of the main reasons I believe veganism aligns with Christianity is that the amount of meat people are eating today uses so many resources (water and food crops) and that if we stopped feeding so much to livestock (worldwide 50% of grain is fed to livestock, and growing feed crops for livestock attributes to 56% water use in the U.S.) then we would have enough to feed the world, if we only didn't feed it to livestock first, for a smaller amount of caloric output. Of course, another big reason is that I believe God spent a lot of care creating all the different animals, and He created them to be able to feel joy and pain, and He created us to empathize with them. For these reasons, I don't think God would agree with how we're treating the animals today in feed lots and CAFOs and in slaughterhouses. So stoked to find a place to discuss how being vegan resonates with my Christianity and Jesus' teachings! It's sad to me that the bulk of vegans are all atheists. They are leading that particular moral standing. I think as Christians, it should be us who make up the most vegans. [/QUOTE]
