| No, but I make sure to only ever eat meat from animals I know were treated well. Eating animals is okay, abusing them is not. |

What are your religions' views on eating meat? Are you a vegetarian and, if so, is it for ethical reasons? Some other questions include...
1. Is it morally wrong to kill animals for the purpose of eating them?
2. Are some animals acceptable to eat? Are others not?
3. Does the belief that animals have souls or do not have souls influence your views on meat eating?
4. Does your view on this subject contradict with your religious views or adhere to them?
5. Which religions prohibit eating meat, which allow it, and which make no mention of it?

Personally, I am a vegetarian. I have a strong belief in reincarnation and it makes meat eating kind of... awkward. I became a vegetarian back when I was a Christian, though, so for me it didn't start out as a religious issue, though it did sort of become one.

When you were a Christian, though, I know you said it wasn't a religious issue, did anyone you know ever talk about being a vegetarian because of religion?

anticupid16 When you were a Christian, though, I know you said it wasn't a religious issue, did anyone you know ever talk about being a vegetarian because of religion? Let's see... When I was a Christian, actually, a lot of people advised me against vegetarianism because supposedly animals don't have souls so it's okay to eat them. So when I became a vegetarian it wasn't because my religion told me to, it was because of my own personal beliefs, so in that sense it wasn't a religious issue but was more of an ethical issue for me at the time.

Being an atheist doesn't effect my eating habits, but I've been a vegetarain for two years now. I just can't seperate the animal it came from and the meat, so it makes me sick trying to eat it.

xxEternallyBluexx Personally, I wouldn't mind being a carnivore. Humans are omnivores. For one to be a carnivore, I highly doubt that's healthy. Vegetarians cut out one food group, carnivores cut out five.

Vegetarians cut out one food group, carnivores cut out five. I know, that's why I said I wouldn't mind being a carnivore. As in, not an omnivore. (though I would miss pasta, and certain fruits and veggies). And actually vegetables, fruits, and grains would go to the herbivores, fats and proteins to the carnivores, and dairy's pretty much acceptable as long as you're a mammal.

I kinda meant that if it were possible for a human to have a meat only diet (resource wise, and biologically), I probably would rather do that, then become a vegan/vegetarian.

Im vegan i kinda went that direction when i listened to a a video called the RAVE diet .. but thats not my only reasoning i have noticed after going vegetarian that i could eat as much as i like and it would be very hard to go over weight... when i went vegan i noticed a change in my body less "headaches" but i still get them when i lack sleep ,I have hardly any sinus problems.. so i notice the benefits. I'm not a judgmental psycho and i have no agenda to push on others , you eat what you like i eat what i like... but i do strongly advise against pork xp
Alot of vegans go against processed sugars as well.

Duh. 3.)No influence. Animals do have souls, but they may be killed for food. 4.) Huh? By the fourth question, I just meant do your personal views on eating meat and your religious views coincide. For example, I know some Buddhists who agree that killing animals for food goes against Buddhism, but they eat mean anyway, so their personal views and religious views are not the same.
