Is a vegan lifestyle 'God's will' for humankind? - Don Gwillim
CVAUK cannot imagine a God of love approving humanity's massive abuse of God's creatures. As the future of humanity becomes increasingly precarious, will God grant mercy to those who have shown no mercy towards his animals and indifference towards the destruction of his creation? The Bible relates that God promised never to flood the earth again, but the Bible does not contain a promise that God will spare humanity from the consequences of it's own actions.
The church can no longer ignore St Paul who wrote: "Everything is permissible" - but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others”. Surely, in a world of limited resources, it is neither permissible, constructive or ethical to encourage an unsustainable, unnecessary, inefficient and uncompassionate meat based diet that only the rich can afford.
