"Not everyone is a Christian, but it is difficult to legitimately oppose a lifestyle dedicated to alleviating suffering."

As a rule I loathe it when people give justification for anything based on "Because God told me to." Hello Iraq war. But that's a whole other post that has nothing to do with being vegan...

Although I am pretty sure you can justify anything you want with Bible quotes, I thought the summary was an interesting take on a Christian justification for veganism. I am not a religious person. My decision to become vegan was based more on empathy and compassion, but in a perfect world, I think that's exactly what Christianity intends promote. But then again, I'm not Christian so it's pretty presumptuous of me to try and interpret all of Christianity. Either way, I liked the argument so I thought I would share it.
