Week 1: Homework

Your project for this week is to find an example of false theology regarding the body.

Today I will be sharing my own example:  Vegan clothing = Naturalism. 

No leather, no wool, no silk. This idea is false--God gives us dominion over animals (Gen. 9:3)

Vegan: it isn't just a way of eating. It is a whole belief system. A religion.

Nowadays, it is very popular to "go green" and be eco-friendly. But to vegans it so much more than recycling.  

According to Vegan Values, they "avoid wearing animal products, such as leather and wool, and are also more likely than other vegetarians to shun alcoholic beverages, processed foods, and foods grown with chemical fertilizers or pesticides."

Tree Hugger says, "...Vegans are asked, chickens aren't killed for their eggs, sheep aren't killed for their wool and do you really care about snails and silkworms?
The thing to understand about veganism, as a philosophy, is that it starts with the precept that we, as humans, do not have any right to "use" animals for anything. That our use of animals, who have no choice in the matter, is a form of exploitation. And that we should avoid, to the extent it is possible, all forms of that exploitation."

Their #1 objective is to save animals and the environment at all costs.  Vegan Values continues, "The fruit of this awareness is inner peace, the quiet strength of ethical confidence, and an uplifting sense of fulfillment."

They seek peace in themselves and their choice to value animals and the earth so highly. Their gods are animals and earth; they worship that instead of the Almighty God! 

Choosing veganism and eco-friendly living at all costs is clearly a false ideology. And so it is with vegan clothing. 

Too funny not to share: A vegan t-shirt design. 

See you on Thursday!
