Standing strong against the hate.

[Geezy]

O Lord, lead me in Thy righteousness because of my foes; make Thy way straight before me. There is nothing reliable in what they say; their inward part is destruction itself; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Hold them guilty, O God . . . for they are rebellious against Thee. But let all who take refuge in Thee be glad, let them ever sing for joy; and mayest Thou shelter them, that those who love Thy name may exult in Thee. For it is Thou who dost bless the righteous man, O LORD, Thou dost surround him with favor as with a shield.
—PSALM 5:8-12

I hope and pray that this doesn’t sound blasphemous but when reading this during my devotional I just couldn’t help but apply this to our daily journey as carnivores. It resonates with me in how we deal with those who rail against us in our WOE be it doctors, scientists, family or the general public. 
I’m afraid this sounds like I’m trying to make this WOE a religion, I’m not,  but I constantly find how scriptures constantly apply to us in everything we do. 
After all the word bible is a wonderful acronym.

Truth makes people mad, whether it's truth in religion, or truth in diet & health.  

"Maintain your conduct fine among the nations, so that when they accuse you of being wrongdoers, they may be eyewitnesses of your fine works and, as a result, glorify God in the day of his inspection." - 1 Peter 2:12

"Maintain a good conscience, so that in whatever way you are spoken against, those who speak against you may be put to shame because of your good conduct as followers of Christ." - 1 Peter 3:16

In like manner, keep eating a proper human diet, so that when they speak against you and tell you that you are wrong, they may yet be amazed at your weight loss and good health (and may be put to shame and eventually glorify healthy eating at a later time).

If I knew how to locate and copy/paste memes I would add one that pertains to this on the meme thread.

It was a guy who was being lectured by a rather large guy holding a MacDonald's burger with, fries and a coke. The recipient said, "As soon as I said, I'm on the carnivore diet, all I eat is meat, slat and water". From that point everyone becomes a doctor on my poor decisions.

In so many words.

Nice post. keep them coming. Very enjoyable.

Very true, Bob.  Our example speaks the loudest.  There was a Christian song many years ago, and one line said, "Rushing Helter Skelter to destruction with their fingers in their ears.". Most, sadly ,don't want the truth.

“For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled.” (2 Timothy 4:3)
 

Dietary ear tickling comes in catch phrases like...

"There are no good and bad foods" and "Everything in moderation" and "Eat the rainbow", lol. I'm sure we can think of more, too.
