Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid?
blarghly@lemmy.world 8 hours agoI mean, the problem isn’t that OP’s question was stupid. The problem is that it is rude to question people’s religious practices.

Veganism is a religion now?

It’s often framed as a system of moral philosophies and the way the impact our behavior and interactions with the world and society. So yes, in many ways, veganism is a religion, or at the very least religion adjacent. Religions aren’t limited to belief in a magical sky daddy.

Several of the answers were interesting because they seemed to focus on social perceptions and how others would see them.
I got very much "convert the heathens" vibes off some of them - but it's probably a "broad church" within that population who associate with the term. Need some schisms and sub-sects to form, like orthodox, reformist, catholic , protestant to get terminology that represents the diversity of beliefs. I'm not sure internet will allow that once a term has meme value.
Either way it was quite interesting to me because i'm generally against animal killing and cruelty and I don't like animal testing, even for medical research, which some people think is quite extreme. But i really don't give a fuck what other people think; about as much as i expect them to give a shit about me.
There's always tradeoffs, and hide glue has some extremely good characteristics so i'd use that gladly. But i must accept that if someone needs some glue (or just a snack) and they find my corpse - have at it.
