New Member Introduction

Post by caLRo »

Hello members of The Vegan Atheist Forum! I'm a new member and I'm here to introduce myself. I'll keep it short,

I'm an agnostic apistevist atheist, and I'm a millennial straight male human omnivore.

I'm looking forward to talking to you all.

Welcome to the forums!

What is apistevist?

Being vegan doesn't change that - you're still omnivore by nature.

Thank you!

@miniboes Apistevist means I don't use faith to know things. The "U just gotta have faith, boy." doesn't work for me.

@thebestofenergy You're right, vegans can still digest and take the nutrients out of meat and other non-vegan food.

@EquALLity I have been atheist my entire life. I only got some superstitious stuff (old wives tales, folklore, etc.) from my family and friends, but those things never played a big role in my life.

Ah, I keep learning terms that I've never heard of and apply to me.

I wonder, are you aspiring to be veg*n at all? Since you mentioned liking that TVA combines atheism and veganism?

@miniboes Currently not a vegan, but in the last few years I've been eating less meat and paying more attention to the things that I put in my body. Reading food labels, making better choices at the grocery store, etc.

What lead you to draw that conclusion?
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:

3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

It's not really a conclusion, it's a fact - that humans are omnivores.
Although, you might argue that our diets were mainly plant-based, and we ate meat only when necessary for survival.
