A non-religious, appealing song and video by Aussie/Kiwi songwriter Paul Seymour, about how some of the greatest people throughout history have been ethical vegetarians including, perhaps, Jesus.

And I don't understand your comment: " What's written in the Bible means nothing to me."

Your video is regarding Jesus who is mentioned in only one book....The Bible.

There are no other historical accounts.

If one is a vegetarian because of empathy and respect for animals it is indeed a noble thing.

If one is a vegetarian for health, religion or to feel superior in some way.....Nope, not so noble.

I wrote that song to try to strike a chord with hypocritical Christians, Buddhists and Muslims, who worship the messenger but have forgotten the ORIGINAL message: not to harm animals at all. I'm not religious but am not a total atheist. I believe humans' purpose on this planet is to preserve 'Creation' and protect the innocent eg animals and children. Whether humans are 'meant' to be carnivores or not, we have a choice: good or evil. I'm vego because I love animals not for piety or selfishness.

I suppose history depends upon which version one believes. But as I said before, why it is also condoned and encouraged by God Himself as written in the Old testament .

And why did God design humans unable to create their own vitamin B-12? Why do we have incisors? Why binocular vision?

If God created us why did He make us omnivores ?

Of course I don't expect answers to these questions. I throw them out to make people think for *themselves*.

[PCWSEYMOUR]

From someone who does think for himself: What's written in the Bible means nothing to me. I have no faith in it. We may not be able to manufacture our own B-12 but meat isn't the only source. We have incisors for the same reason as our vegetarian cousins (gorillas): for eating fruit. Our teeth are incapable of chewing raw meat. We can't even digest it properly. It was the discovery of fire which allowed us to become omnivores. Binocular vision?: Many animals have it including most herbivores.

"Maybe we're here for them.. "

That is the greatest meaning of life theory I have heard ever.

@Lisamarie1968 for Indians cows are divine, for some Indians rats are divine, etc, but they still eat meat..

[Lisamarie1968]

@Agrikultur You absolutely do! That makes no sense at all, what you say!

I love this clip. ♥

Thank you, this was astonishingly beautiful. I'm not a Chritian, myself. But this song is beautifully sung , played and contains one of the best messages i've ever heard.

"They're not here for us, we're here for them."

Wow, it's truly touching. I believe that if every human on Earth followed this message, life on would be better for humans and especially for animals. I love this song so much. You have my full respect for creating such a work of art.

@southboy99 and Christ told Judas to take the lamb back; they ate bread only

[DaBroskiBro]

@southboy99 and God gave Noah concession to eat cold blooded things until the flood went away.

Also, read Romans 14:20-21, Genesis 1:29-30, Isaiah 66:3, Proverbs 15:17, Numbers 11:3/11:18-34

@southboy99 um. Mistranslated verse. They were bunches of grapes. Not fish.
