Hi there from, The Vegan Gaming Athiest

Post by ThunderXray »

I am a 14 year old boy who is an Athiest, I was raised a christian until about the age of 12 when I discovered a Youtuber who was an Athiest which is what convinced me to become an Athiest. I however was raised a vegetarian but became a vegan soon after seeing The Vegan Athiest. PC Gaming is probably my main hobby along with other things that involve technology.

Hey ThunderXray,

Glad you've joined us.

It's interesting to hear of somebody who was raised Christian and vegetarian- the two don't always mix (many Christians claim that god created animals to be food for humans, and possess a very arrogant view of nature as subservient to human kind and there only to be exploited).

Is your whole family vegetarian? What denomination are they?

Sorry for so many questions.
Great to meet you!

It's amazing to hear that you already went vegan at your age, you won't regret it. Welcome!
I spend most of my time playing PC games too. What do you currently play?
For evil to prevail, good people must stand aside and do nothing.

Was it your mother's choice to raise you as a vegetarian? How did your father take that?

It was my moms choice, my dad was a little bothered at first but got over it.

Welcome ThunderXray. Its great to have you on the forum. Its awesome to hear that you are vegan and atheist at your age. I went vegetarian when I was 13, and it took me 7 years before I realized that I should drop the dairy and eggs and go vegan.

Are your peers supportive of your veganism and atheism?
