Law of One Religion?

[Monica]

The Law of One isn't even a religion and we don't even have any sort of moral code. Nor am I in any position of authority, so I couldn't hold my own convictions as a moral standard for others even if I wanted to.

You certainly can within your own mind.

A moral standard is not by way of "authority", it is just a personal or collective standard of conduct as I am using the term.

Clearly, you have a personal standard that eating animals/ animal products is immoral.  And many of your posts express incredulity that "spiritual people" do not hold the same conviction.  Correct me if I am wrong.

You are right about that. It's more of a vision than a moral standard though.

I don't understand how otherwise 'spiritual' people can think that intentionally, knowingly, unnecessarily causing suffering to other sentient beings is ok.

Religious people, I understand. They follow their book without questioning. But for those who profess to believe in the concepts of service to others, and avoiding the control/domination of others, I don't understand how they can justify the controlling/dominating/killing of sentient other-selves.

If you are implying that I am somehow wrong in having such a vision, then those who hold the vision of a peaceful planet are equally 'wrong.' Yet I doubt that most people here would mind someone posting in their sig "War is STS...unnecessary killing of other humans is inherently STS." Very few would dispute that.
