Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[LastPoet]

Ok, so it's wrong for vegans to project their ethics on to you, but you think its ok for you to project your ethics onto the lives of animals? I am sure you see why vegans disagree with this!

Animals are not capable of reason. Overblown empathy and first world problems, coupled with shitty rethoric do not make a valid or sound argument.

I, like you, am happy to not get involved with tell others what to do, as long as they don't infringe the rights of others. Meat eating however certainly does infringe the rights of animals.

Human rights >>>>>>>>>>>>> Other animal rights.

To me, the eating of meat is very much like a religion. Instead of God, they worship some bizarre conception of nature which they use to justify their actions. They unquestioningly adopt their parents beliefs. They sit together worshiping a roast, and experience rapture at the experience. Challenging their beliefs is met with denial and obscurification.

(bold mine)

Of course, it is I that am telling you that you aren't 'ethical' and being a general prick towards people with different ideas. Riiiiiight



ETA: I am an atheist, but I do not want to impose my atheism on others, nor I would approve legislation forbiding religious beliefs. I may find it silly, argue about it and if many people arrive at it by their own leg, its cool, but I'd never impose it on others.
