The Bible, Jesus, and Veganism by Gary Yourofsky, Vegan Animal Rights Activist

The Bible, Jesus, and Veganism NOTE: For a rabbinical view about why Jews should be living a vegan lifestyle, read this amazing 2010 essay from the late Rabbi Simchah Roth . For an amazing book comparing The Jewish Holocaust and The Animal Holocaust, check out Eternal Treblinka by Charles Patterson. When I mention God in the following piece, I am also referring to Jesus. And God did NOT create us in His image. Humans created God in their image. I believe in God, but I am not so arrogant and blind as to believe that God is human-like, or that God looks, thinks, or acts like us in any way. As a whole, humans are psychopathic, apathetic, and myopic. God is not! Furthermore, giving thanks, and/or praying to God, does NOT exonerate an animal-murderer from the crime.

The religions of Buddhists, Hindus, 7th Day Adventists, Jains and Rastafarians unambiguously admonish followers to harm no animal, and to treat the body as a temple by ingesting healthy, non-animal based foods.

Either way it can catch you off guard in the middle of a workday or surrounded by family at holiday gatherings.  I have cried at holidays, quit jobs and given up on relationships because of these attacks on me as a ethical vegan.
