Yeah, I guess if I had to kill a cow to eat a hamburger, I wouldn't do it. But I don't eat that much meat anyway, mostly fish. It's sort of odd in retrospect, thinking all of the harm I was doing to myself, to the planet and other people I didn't even know. My family had a really hard time dealing with it. Like my mom really thought I was slapping her in the face, that everything she had ever taught me was totally wrong.
Dominion really means companionship and working together.
Although I do not have much faith in the bible, the earliest scriptures tell us that plant foods were to be the only food for humans. But the Disciples ate meat and Jesus gave out fish to the people. There's a lot of evidence that says Jesus was a vegetarian and if you are just going to go by what you believe the bible says is true and correct, you might want to reconsider your position. The bible condoned the killing of women and children. So I guess if you believe in a violent god, then that's fine, but I choose to believe that acts of compassion and love are what really please God.
