Gospel of oneness

Hi Everyone. namaste;

We are now moving on to paragraph one of chapter 8 in the First Letter to the Orinthians from the book "Gospel of One; Letters or Aul."

"People often ask me about whether or not we should be vegetarians if we really mean to be true to our spiritual ideals.  We are one with all life, so we are one with the animals.  Animals have the right to live freely and not be mistreated and then eaten by humans.  The gross abuse of cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals on factory farms is awful.  Most of us do not need to eat animals to live.  A balanced vegetarian diet of fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains, oils, beans, and spices is quite sustaining, and a wonderful variety of recipes are available. Plus we could feed more people in the world if we dedicated more time and effort in raising crops for people rather than for animals.  Current levels of cattle, pigs, and chickens would be reduced to achieve a natural balance."

Commentary: In America factory farms produce over 90% of the meat. Anyone who believes in the oneness of all life needs to be aware of what is happening to the animals on this planet. The abuse of any life hurts all of us.
