Let’s see if rational discourse is practicable on Nostr.

Hey #[3]

You seem like someone who’s open to the possibility of being wrong. I’m unsure if it’s a proprietary definition of ‘religion’ you’ve used here, but is veganism really ‘a system of faith and worship in a superhuman power’? Are people like Yuval Noah Harari (another practitioner of the Vipassana technique btw) religious dogmatists for recognising that members of animal species other than humans and dogs also have conscious individual experiences, emotional needs, and a will to live and be with their families?

If by religion, you do just mean some kind of a philosophical belief, then that would qualify many ethical stances – such as being against murder, stealing, dog abuse, domestic violence, etc – as religions. Surely this isn’t compatible with your worldview, is it?
