Imagine someone pointing out to a serial killer how not killing is more moral and the killer answers with "Holier than thou.". Would this be a good comeback? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) This is not an equivalent situation, being vegan or vegetarian does not make you legitimately "holier than thou". It is not a virtuous enough decision to be "holier" than the average person, and eating meat is not a bad enough action to be comparable to being a serial killer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Znarf176@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just because it is not comparable to a serial killer does not mean that it's not bad enough to warrant a holier label. How do you justify killing and torturing an animal just for taste pleasure? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz -6 points 2 years ago (2 children) I dont kill or torture animals, I support an industry that does by buying the products they create.
