    “I respect christians who don’t force their views on me”

    No, you don’t. You just prefer not to be reminded that you’re living in sin.

    Everybody preaching thinks, everyone must adhere to their personal moral beliefs. They don’t.

    And we are not advocating veganism by antagonizing people. That just makes YOU feel better about yourself and doesnt help the animals at all. If you actually care about animal well-being you will set your ego aside and try to actually convince the carnivores by being a good example and adapting your arguments.

    I always point out that I will not discuss the morals of killing animals because it’s difficult for a lot of people. I will go on the level how our society treats the animals before killing them. Almost noone is arguing about that. And I’ve convinced a lot of people that way to at least drastically reduce their meat consumption. The rest will come later.

    Isn’t it about reducing animal suffering in the world in total? It should be. Making everyone be vegan in no time at all is unrealistic. We are reducing global meat consumption by emphatically making people question their choices and not by antagonizing them. They’ll just get defensive and mock us.
