Hi Andrew92, thanks for joining the forum. You indicated on your profile that you are an atheist meat eater. Is that a mistake, since you just admitted to being an orthodox christian? Please clarify.
Do you find the forum to be quiet and inactive?
- Do your part by engaging in new and old topics
- Don't wait for others to start NEW topics, post one yourself
- Invite family, friends or critics

Hello,I am atheist in the sence that I am not convinced with the exitence of a God,and eat meat because I dont see a conection between atheism and veganism...and if it would be a connecton it would be a stupid one-eating meat is natural and after i was born i was baptized an orthodox...this is legally i mean a state religion but not spiritualy

Welcome!
How did you become atheist?
How is it viewed where you live?

Just because it's natural, it doesn't mean it's ideal or justifiable - rape is also natural, but I don't think you accept what rapists do.
Differently from other animals, we have the cognitive capabilities to rationally think about it.
For evil to prevail, good people must stand aside and do nothing.
