First of all I am a vegeterian. I have read in lot of books and spritual books that eating non vegiterian food is a sin..... as it involves killing of Fish ,Chicken etc. Do you think that eating non veg food is a sin as per religion ... Does your religion epic like The Bible ,The Kuran etc. prohibits eating non vegeterian food ? What do you think ? Thanks Ganesh

I am also a vegetarian, and it depends on what circumstances you have grown. Many scriptures allow eating non-vegetarian food. It doesnt allow in our scriptures and that too only for some group of people in our religion, it does allow for other groups even in our religion. It is not sin for them, for god himself does mention them to have non-vegetarian food. Gita has not prohibited having non vegetarian for many hindus. Does it? no, it is the same with bible or quran. God has infact created some creatures just for human beings and it is not at all a sin.

Personally, things like this should be a matter of choice. No where in the Bible does it state that eating Meat is a sin. Some people choose to eat this way, and avoid foods even like Chicken, Fish, etc. and then there are the different degrees some believe in as well. I know I have had friends over time that only eat stuff like this, and are fine with it, but personally I would miss my meat... especially chicken.

Hi Ganesh44, To eating has nothing to do with religion, if your say killing fish and chicken is sin well killing vegetation is a sin too, because vegetation has their own life as well, we need to eat to survive, animals kills animal to survive and so man kills animal to survive and it is not a sin but what is a sin is when man kills man now that is a sin and they kill in the name of religion.

Well, from my faith aspect of it, God gave man dominion over all the animals when he created Adam. Adam was charged with naming the animals and was sort of the caretaker. In the bible many passages include descriptions of feasts that included meat. And when Jesus fed the masses He is said to have done so with bread AND fish. I think, if anything, it is a sin to waste the life of an animal such as the big game hunters who do nothing more than bring home a trophy. There are those people who feed their families through winters with what they hunt and fish (my uncle is one of them). Finally it mentions no where in the Ten Commandments or the Bible that they killing and consumption of animals/meat is a sin.

It's not a sin. The animals were given to us by GOD as provision for food. How can something given by GOD be a sin?

I am an Orthodox Christian, and my religion does not state eating meat as a sin. There are periods of fast when people are encouraged to refrain from eating meat, but even those periods have special days when believers are allowed to eat fish. From a non-religious point of view, it is obvious for me that human beings, as a species, are meant to eat meat. That is why we have canine teeth...

Hello,Ganesh! I consider eating fish or meat to be a sin.I think no religion would suggest eating nonveg stuff.But it is true that vegetarian people lead a pious life and live long compared to meat and fish eaters.All vitamins and nutrients we get from fruits and vegetables and milk and milk products.Me,yes I am a vegetarin since birth.thanx.

i dont know if sin due to religion, as i dont follow any religion.. I only say i dont follow as, i cant say im a believer and i cant say i am not... I know pork is sin for Muslims but only becuase think its unhealthy due to what pigs eat Anyway as for eating meat being a sin, then no i dont think so.. Its nature, animals are meat eaters too, think of the wild also, animals kill animal for meat, our pets are meat eaters, it is the life many be vegetarian as a protest against animals being slaughtered but they can not stop it anyway.. I don't understand how it can be sin, if is a god, he put these animals here for us, and think about all animals, all insects as to what they eat.. Everything was done like that, gods intention.. If its a sin then why are animals not vegetarians?
