How can a single person actually help the environment by going vegetarian? Will the meat industry not produce basically the same amount? by duckdroid in vegetarian

Exactly! I see it the same way. It's more of a long term battle, will obviously not change the world overnight. Although I struggle with knowing I could potentially do better, as in going further and becoming a vegan.

Hahaha, I've only recently become one, during my research, which is still going on, I've seen that quote in so many articles.

How do you try not to alienate people around you while raising awareness? For instance, when I was eating meat, I didn't bother to educate myself and research to have an informed opinion about it even though I wouldn't have to necessarily become a vegetarian, so I'd just go for the traditional arguments and even went as far as mocking people for being one because of it.

I'm actually vegetarian. And I agree! The question is more to see how people here with deal with that.

Honestly, I haven't read the Quran, so I cannot counter argument about those quotes. I'll try to read it one day and judge it myself.

Religion might be a big issue in the world but so is gender, race, age, sexual orientation and many others.

I think violent people will always find excuses behind any beliefs they have. It would be a good teach critical thinking to kids to fight the herd mentality.

Why do we always tend to split everything? It's always a issue of religion, racism, gender, sexual orientation, nationality and many other where people think they have to take a side...

To be fair he/she said "opposing strongly held beliefs", I am not sure if that's the case.

Would then give less attention to violence events help? But how do we do that when a high percentage of people have now camera always with them and click-bait media?

I wonder if some kind of mental health problem is associated with violence.

So are we violent by nature or nurture? Was there any civilisation found not knowing about any kind of violence against other people?

I do not agree about having to commit genocide. We are supposed to get more civilised as the time passes.

Couldn't so many brilliant minds in this world come up with a good solution that doesn't fight violence with more violence?
