Teenage me went into reading the Bible expecting to learn more about my religion and become one of those well-versed scholars.
And then I kept reading, and the terrible truth eventually dawned on me. It really is just a bunch of silly stories from farmers thousands of years ago. It's nearly impossible to actually read it and remain neutral about this; yet another one of life's "emperors new clothes" situations.
There's plenty of reasonable selfish reasons to be a vegan.
