I’ve noticed the phenomenon of humans desentientizing someone by declaring them as “sacred”, which works as a prelude to “sacrifice”. Seems like some very ancient human bullshit based on objectification, but it’s not objectification for commodification, it’s objectification in the service of the ego by trying to convince one’s ego that you’re not a monster, that you’re nice and good.

Sacrifices are ways of penitence without having to actually feel bad for anything you do. Oh no, I committed crimes and sins! Here’s a goat. Conscience clear.

Not necessarily. It can be something as simple as “My spiritual beliefs just happen to align with what I want to do already”. If you want to eat meat, it’s very tempting to find a “spiritual” reason for doing it. Nobody can question you; it’s just what you believe!

Except we need to hold even spirituality to some measurable degree of sanity.

What if someone truly believes that they need to kill someone or a group of people because of their beliefs, that’s not permissible. It’s not rational or logical to let religious beliefs be a free card to do whatever shit they want.

Religion is a fucking cult.

There are established criteria of what defines a cult, and any spiritual belief system is not necessarily a cult, unless it meets all of that criteria.

Spirituality leads people to veganism, don’t let people sow discord for clicks

Did you actually watch the video? He isn’t saying that spirituality is bad. He’s saying that you should be vegan for rational reasons.

Lots of things do. Like health and the climate. But typically there’s one reason people stay vegan, while other reasons usually lead to “cheat days”.

Man, it’s been a few years since I’ve heard ‘spiritual’ people talk, and I did not miss it at all.

I cut ties with my very best friend, because she went from becoming vegan to believing in tarot cards to full on antivax flat earther who told me that i shouldn’t let my mom do chemo, because she has some good chrystals in like a year or two.

I honestly don’t miss rolling my eyes all day long.
