Veganism – A Cult of Intolerance Founded on a Lie
A philosophy doesn’t need to mention God in order to qualify as a religion or to make a cult of its adherents. All that’s necessary to be a religious cult is for people to make an idol of something and to demonize those who don’t worship at their altar.
Veganism is the worship of animals based on the erroneous notion that when properly used for food, animals are being mistreated. Vegans consider themselves to be wiser and more righteous than the population at large and strongly condemn the authors and followers of the Scriptures, who give mankind wholesome and proven guidelines from God about the use of animals for food.
It was, after all, the land of milk and honey, not of tofu and sprouts, which God promised the children of Israel as their great blessing of inheritance.
Veganism is a most pernicious ideology and cult, because it comes directly against God and His sound wisdom with a self-righteous vehemence that would destroy everyone and everything - including their beloved animals - should they hold sway. This is the madness and contradiction of veganism.
This is not at all to say that mankind has been doing things right in the production of animal foods. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO’s) and the assembly-line approach to raising animals is an unmitigated disaster – for the animals, environment, workers, and consumers.
But because people do things the wrong way doesn’t mean the right way doesn’t exist. Thinking the answer to the CAFO abomination is ceasing to practice sound animal husbandry practices is like saying the answer to widespread prostitution and fornication is to forbid marriage between a man and woman. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater!

This is not to say that anyone should be forced to eat meat or can’t freely choose what they will eat. Not everyone must get married, and the same freedom applies to one’s diet. But veganism is a militant philosophy that doesn’t allow for others’ freedom of choice, slyly working on people’s consciences by labeling them as murderers if they’re meat-eaters. That’s a damned lie and vile wickedness to boot.
Some vegans may protest that their religion wasn’t founded on the erroneous notion that using animals is exploitation. They may think it’s just a superior diet, but the record says differently on both counts. Veganism was founded on the doctrine that people should live without “exploiting animals” and pledges seeking an end to the human use of animals, period. And many of those who think veganism is the path to superior health sadly find out otherwise. No culture in the history of mankind has been sustained on a vegan diet.
As for those who think eating animal products lowers their “vibrations,” they haven’t considered that plants are actually lower life forms than animals. Therefore, if one is seeking “higher vibrations,” one should eat animals, rather than plants.
Jesus Christ, Who as a man among us ate meat, summed it up succinctly, “Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man” (Matthew 15:11 MKJV).
