I know a lot of vegans and not a single one chose to be vegan for the health benefits, but because they find it ethically wrong to kill for food. So they can eat all the sugar they like, Oreos are vegan, eat all the Oreos vegans!

Feeling very blessed that my vegan friends just like, live their vegan life and are normal and not insufferable idiots like these people.

I live in the SF Bay Area so I know approx. 9 million vegetarian/vegan people and I can tell you that only a select few of them are jerks about it. That is the result of my highly scientific study.

Praise be, after this horrible week that has reduced me to a wobbly mess of sadness and simmering rage, that we get a Vegan YouTube drama update post. A tremendous article with a delightful (terrible) new player in the vegan web wars. My main takeaway though, is that Freelee has an assistant. For what?!? Lugging…

I’m only half way through and I love this woman.

This reminds me, has anyone else seen this glorious response to an unsolicited dick pic (sent after the guy read her totally unrelated and short restaurant review and responded to that, FFS), which has been making the rounds? He was just being nice! So she was nice back! A BARRAGE OF NICENESS!!! Schlongs censored (in…

Until something bad happens. Then it’s “Why didn’t you DO something?!?!”

Yup. Woman are always made to feel like they are overreacting if they find a man creepy. We’re supposed to be understanding of gross behavior and write it off as “social awkwardness.” Fuck that noise. Trust your gut ladies.

I will never understand why a book is needed for you to live your life in a way where you espouse the message of love, grace and peace. I’d say I’m a pretty solid human being and supportive of all without a day of church or a text written by some guy thousands of years ago that is supposedly the word of god. I find…

understanding the writings as the writings of people who experienced a closeness with God

No they won’t. The majority agrees with it being against the law, hence it will stay till the end of time.

Yup... All this mental gymnastics to get a religion to fit your life. It’s exhausting. May as well make up whatever you want and be happy with yourself. Maybe in 2000 years they’ll put some compilation of interpretations of your diary in all the hotel nightstands too!

It’s hard to define a schism when there is no pope.

As a Muslim my view has been that a schism is not going to take place in our lifetimes. It’s still too easy for us to compartmentalize, to distance ourselves from the extremists while not distancing ourselves from their rhetoric. It’s truly unfortunate. I wish more Muslims would speak out, even about the facets of…

Yeah, stop outlawing homosexuals in Muslim countries.

Counterpoint (and no disrespect intended): Like other “holy” books, the Quran is made up (by man) and should be understood in the context of the time and culture it was written in. Not saying it does not have a lot of beauty and truth about life, but to consider a book the inerrant word of God is how troubles start.
