Religion and Vegetarianism

[vegan4Jesus]

How does your religion support your vegetarian/vegan diet? Are there scripture versus, quotes from leaders, general ideas? No negative comments about others' religions please, only positive comments please!!!

[Ashterra]

I'm Buddhist with some Wiccan beliefs, and I think both religions support my diet, since they're both against harming sentient beings.

greetings ashterra!

it is helpful when a religion does oppose harming sentient beings, because some aren't particularly overt about it.

I'm more spiritual than religious.. And I also believe that all religions stem from the one Truth, it has just been taught/spread through several different people, which is how so many religions have come about today. :)

I am Catholic and a Vegetarian and I am really sorry my religion has not done more to keep up to the compassion that is taught as part of our lives.
Gensis 1:29..The Bible...The Fruit of the trees shall be as meat to you.
Even harder meeting someone religious and Veg.

it's not your religion, christopher.
it's those who have perverted the essential ideas!
