This is not an equivalent situation, being vegan or vegetarian does not make you legitimately “holier than thou”. It is not a virtuous enough decision to be “holier” than the average person, and eating meat is not a bad enough action to be comparable to being a serial killer.

Just because it is not comparable to a serial killer does not mean that it’s not bad enough to warrant a holier label. How do you justify killing and torturing an animal just for taste pleasure?

I dont kill or torture animals, I support an industry that does by buying the products they create. That is not bad enough of an action for you to be holier.

Read your comment again, slowly, and tell me you think this is a good argument.

How bad would be bad enough? Is holiness quantized?
