Bias

VvsV: If you are a vegan activist, you're going to be accused of having a vegan bias (a prejudice in favor of or against one thing) you read into the scriptures. The accusations will be you are cherry-picking select scriptures to support the point of view you have.… I don't have a problem with that! I admit, I read the scriptures with a bias of love, mercy, and kindness. The question is, why doesn’t every Christian share the same bias? Why do Christians blast my partiality toward eating with mercy and compassion, yet they go to the same scriptures with a bias to approve eating from violence?

Christian meat eater: God gave rules on meat eating.

VvsV: these people were eating meat anytime in any place they wanted. So think about that when the rules were given. Every meat-consumption law God gave was a roadblock to access meat. God was creating restrictions on their meat eating.What benefit was there for God to make these meat laws? None. Was there a benefit to humans for these meat-eating laws? Nope. Did the rules make meat taste better? Nope! Did it make the meat more accessible? Again, nope! The rules make it obvious that God begrudgingly gave permissions to a lustful and gluttonous people to systematically bring meat eating to an end

Christian Dairy Farmers: We care and love our cows like they’re our children.

Vegan Activist: Then why are you so upset when we activists say animals and humans should be treated as equal?

Christian: the Bible clearly says…VvsV: If the Bible was clear, we wouldn't have over 1000 denominations :-)

Christian meat eater: Jesus did away with the old testament Jewish dietary laws

VvsV: Kosher laws aren’t vegan, but they require absolute minimal suffering. A carnist Christian’s refusal of the kosher rules means they don’t want to be held accountable to rules that minimize suffering for animals. Are Christians saying they can thoughtlessly take part in industries that maximize animal suffering? It's crazy talk, it's gluttony, and useable for vegan advocacy.

Christian meat eater: God gave only man dominion

VvsV: God gives humans dominion in Genesis chapter 1 verse 28, no argument there, but in the same statement giving man dominion, God immediately gives vegan boundaries for that dominion in verse 29.

Christian meat eater: "God made animals for food."

VvsV: Well, actually no, no, he didn't. In Genesis chapter 2, it says He created animals for companionship.

Christian meat eater: after the flood, God said we can eat animals

VvsV: God never gave Noah permission to eat cows, chickens and pigs. It was permission to eat bugs.

Christian meat eater: factory farming is not animal abuse

VvsV: God purposely created the animals the way they are. It was not an accident that God gave them eyes to see, ears to hear, noses to smell. God made animals with the attributes He wanted them to have. God made animals with instincts to do specific behaviors that are unique to their species. God created some to enjoy lying in the sun, others find joy to snuffle in the forest leaves or dig in the dirt. God created some creatures to run in a pack, providing healthy interaction with their own species and others to flourish in solitude. For a carnist Christian to deny animals every natural behavior God wanted the animals to experience, is animal abuse. Factory farms override God’s natural design for the animals. To deny these instinctual needs is to block God’s desires for His creation. That is absolutely animal abuse. And blocking God’s plan is NOT living in God’s image.

VvsV: Hey activists, did you ever get a Christian say, “I couldn’t live without cheese”? Use these verses….2nd Timothy, chapter 1 verse 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.Proverbs 25:28He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.Philippians chapter 4 verse 13I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.Yes, Mr. Carnist, as a Christian, you do have the strength (through Christ) to give up cheese. Self-control is a Christian strength and obligation. We activists can fight their cheese comment with these verses, it’s great. If you are an atheist activist, you can really, really, really mess with them. Reply, “Oh, thanks for the compliment of telling me I am superior to your god. I mean, if vegan atheists can give up cheese but Christians can’t, we unbelievers are obviously superior in our moral strengths than your god can provide.” 

The Lord’s prayer Matthew chapter 6 verse10- Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.This is a punch in the nose to a carnist Christian. When a meat-eater prays this prayer, he is asking God to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. That is huge for vegan activism! Why? Because the kingdom (see Isaiah chapter 11) will be 100% vegan. There is no death in heaven and there is no death in the future kingdom. When there is no death, there are no cheeseburgers, or bacon, or any animal products. Don't you just love it! Carnist Christians are praying for the end of meat-eating every time they recite the Lord's prayer. These goofballs don’t even know it! Hah! 

James chapter 4 verse 17 Therefore to him, that knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.For Christian vegans, this verse is a call to activism. For carnist Christians, this verse is a slap in the face kind of judgement. Why? Because animal abuse is bad, ask any Christian. Therefore, avoiding animal abuse is good. See where this is going? When a choice between evil (food made from animal abuse) and good activities (knoweth to do good) is an option, Christians have a moral obligation to do good (avoid food made from animal abuse). If given a chance to do good but don’t (doth it not), they are sinning.
