^^Sorry, all I see here is personal opinion.
Don't know what makes you think vegans are "ahimsa".
If all bacteria in your body die, so do you.
If all enzymes in your body die, so do you.
Now you can tell me how your life/consciousness is equal to a microbe as you have so eloquently tried to state in your write-up.
I will again bring up a concept to life that seems lost still.
We are supposed to evolve towards becoming beings of light.
The best health comes about from taking in light. Not death. The darkness inside folks just love to feed on death, with their mouth, with their eyes, with their ears. Kind of strange how Mankind is so easily manipulated by those that understand what forms and shapes your mind. I can guarantee that any person born into a natural vegetarian household will not begin to salivate when they see an animal run across their path. In fact you have to love the thrill of killing before the thought of killing even enters the mind when something crosses your path.
Can you tell me in simple terms exactly where you can take in light in the form of an ingestible substance?
It has taken a long time to create this system of mass production of death, and getting folks addicted enough to pay for it.
I wish there were more that were willing to step up against the false "Law" instead of taking the path of least resistance.

It would also require one to avoid drinking water from the tap, or even bottled water, since the processing of the water kills the microbes living within.
This is clearly absurd. Especially so when considered in light of the Law of One which says:
Quote:All things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.
If All is One, then All is Life. Therefore it is impossible for an entity to exist without taking other forms of Life into itself, thus violating the strict interpretation of ahimsa.
