Veganism

[h311inac311]

To answer the Nudge, In Genesis God creates man in his own image, to have dominion over the wildlife. We are expressly granted permission to eat animals after death is introduced through Adam and Eve both choosing to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Sheldon, was I arguing in favor of eating meat or against it?

To explain my argument a little further we ask the vegan if it is okay for a Lion to hunt a Gazelle, if this is true then why can't humans do the same?

To further the argument we could ask if it is okay for a Grizzly bear to hunt as well. Seeing as how they can live their whole lives eating nothing but vegetables but prefer to hunt and eat meat because it is both a fun and tasty thing to do.

Will they morally condemn the behavior of the Grizzly? Or give humans a separate responsibility?

(Bold mine)

Where is this permission ‘expressly’ granted? Chapter and verse, please.

Genesis 18:7-8 RSV 

"And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate."

Genesis 9:3 RSV

"Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything."


To be fair, this isn't directly after Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, but after the Flood of Noah.
