Oh for crying out loud...(thread)

and then it was locked. I get so sick of that kind of crap.:mad:

Wonder what it was?

And said that that is because they are both "extreme, mean-spirited, and nasty." And then the poster said their SO was veggie :eyes: The poster got pretty well slammed for it. If anything at all, it is the viciously pro-meat militants who are extreme, mean-spirited, and nasty. How many times have all of us been the victim of a totally unprovoked attack?

What happened, did he get EnglandGal's book pick e-mail today?

TITLE:

Good News for All Creation: Vegetarianism as Christian Stewardship

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Good News for All Creation notes that plant-based diets reflect the love, compassion, and peace of Christ, and they constitute good, responsible stewardship of God’s creation. Using traditional Christian teachings, the authors make a compelling case that, if Jesus were among us today, he would choose to be vegetarian.

“If you need a biblical mandate for changing your diet, this book will meet that need. It is important to read for your own good, for the good of the world, and for God's sake.”
~ Tony Campolo, professor of sociology, Eastern College, St. Davids, PA

“Good News for All Creation is an effective and powerful testimony that becoming vegetarian strengthens, rather than weakens, one's Christian beliefs and one's personal witness of Christ's compassion.”
~ Keith Akers, author of The Lost Religion of Jesus

“Stephen Kaufman and Nathan Braun have been tilling the soil of Christian vegetarianism for years, and their labor has borne much fruit. They speak with much theological integrity, passion, and common sense. Their approach to diet is moderate and balanced, mixing practical advice with a serious engagement with Scripture. This book is a generous gift to all Christians who want to explore the spiritual aspects of food.”
~ Stephen Webb, author of Good Eating and On God and Dogs

“If anyone wants solid reasons why so many Christians are becoming vegetarian, here they are. The book also offers sound advice about promoting vegetarianism among Christians, as well as up-to-date nutritional information. Overall, it is a thoughtful, clearly written, and very practical book with many helpful suggestions. Recommended.”
~ Richard Alan Young, author of Is God a Vegetarian?

Great description.

When these threads are deleted, are the OPs given any kind of warning? (Am I allowed to ask that?)

But this particular poster had been harassing me and used that line on me. As I said in my reply to her, I guess she thought it was so clever the first two times she said it, she felt the need to start a whole thread about it :eyes:

Like I said, how many times have vegetarians been ruthlessly attacked and ganged up on? And WE are the bad guys for having to develop a thick skin out of necessity?

She got pretty well laid into by non-veggies, too. Most people thought it was stupid to make moral decisions like that just because you don't like the personalities of some in that particular group. It was a pretty illogical thing that was posted, and thankfully many people called the poster on it. The poster got REAL quiet pretty quickly.
