This is what I never liked about Western religion: the idea that humans are somehow separate from, and superior to nature (made to "rule over it"); and also that humans are innately flawed and sinful and need to keep seeking forgiveness for this from God. I'm happy to eat my meat with a clear conscience, knowing it was grass-fed in pastures and humanely slaughtered, and that it is nourishing my body. Humans evolved eating meat and there is not one indigenous culture to be found that excludes it entirely from their diet.
