Seitan = Satan!!

It has recently come to my attention that there is a strong possibility that Satan, the arch-rival of God, is attempting to infiltrate the world through Vegetarians. Some of you may have been thinking this for a while, but I’m pretty sure that I’ve uncovered proof of this attempted coup of God’s reign. Just, follow me if you can…

This is a sculpture of Satan entitled “Lucifer” by Guillaume Geefs (1805-1883). This is what the Catholic Encyclopedia has to say about Lucifer:

“The name Lucifer originally denotes the planet Venus, emphasizing its brilliance. The Vulgate employs the word also for “the light of the morning” (Job 11:17)…The Syriac version and the version of Aquila derive the Hebrew noun helel from the verb yalal, “to lament”; St. Jerome agrees with them (In Isaiah 1:14), and makes Lucifer the name of the principal fallen angel who must lament the loss of his original glory bright as the morning star. In Christian tradition this meaning of Lucifer has prevailed; the Fathers maintain that Lucifer is not the proper name of the devil, but denotes only the state from which he has fallen (Petavius, De Angelis, III, iii, 4).”

So, the name Lucifer is the equivalent of the Morning Star, the name that has, through tradition, been assigned to Satan, the fallen angel cast from the presence of God.

Now, are you still with me? There is a brand of vegitarian foods called “Morningstar Farms”. They produce a variety of meatless options for vegetarians. The base of this “food” is usually soy or wheat gluten. Wait…wheat gluten? That brings me to my next point:

The above picture is of Seitan, (pronounced say-tahn, sound familiar?) a product made purely of wheat gluten. It is made by taking flour and reducing it to just the gluten. This is then made into “meat” for vegetarians. One such rendering of this “food” is fake duck:

Mmmm…looks appetizing, doesn’t it?

NO – DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE CLAIMS OF BEING “HEALTHY,” “TASTY” OR “HUMANE” – it is all a clever ruse created by the ruler of hell, prince of darkness – SATAN!!!

That’s right folks – vegetarianism is a product of the devil, a clever way of wooing humans to his dark power. He gets them with promises of health, of fresh tasting food, and by making them think it is the right thing to do for the animals of the earth. Well folks, I’m here to challenge that claim!

There are basically 2 types of vegetarians in the world: 1) those who forsake meat for “health” reasons, 2) and those who forsake meat for “ethical” reasons. Now, you can argue all day about the possible heath benefits or risks to eating a vegitarian diet or one that also includes meat. This is not the point people. What is the point? How can any diet that is supplemented by a daily dose of essence of evil healthy??? Think about it, you all know I’m right on this one!

Now, as to those who are vegetarians for ethical reasons, it can get a bit more complicated. I’m all for ethical treatment of animals. I myself attempt to eat meat gotten in a more humane way. I like to know where my meat comes from – that way I know that the animal was treated well, and that the meat contains good vitamins and protein and is not so shot full of chemicals and hormones that the steak on my plate barely constitutes for meat any more. I understand the ethical vegetarians completely. Know where your food is coming from, and know how it is produced. I grew up in a rural community. My family raised chickens which I helped to butcher. I happen to think the chicken is one of the best meats out there! I love eating chicken. Those of us who do eat meat should understand what is required in order for us to have bacon and fillet mignon on our plate. I truly believe that if an animal is taken care of well and butchered humanly, it’s fine for me to eat. Humans are omnivores. That’s the way we were created. We were given animals to care for and to sustain us. Let’s respect that!

Okay…back to the task at hand – ethical vegetarians, if you are truly ethical, and you are unwilling to eat meat even if prepared in a humane manor, I have to urge you do not partake in the food of the devil. Avoid Morningstar and Saitan at all costs. You can’t claim to have good ethics and then join the forces of evil, it just doesn’t work that way!

I have many good friends who are vegetarians. I love them dearly and I worry about the state of their souls. I hope that they head my words and be careful what they put in their bodies. It just may come from the Prince of Darkness himself.

The Devil is trying to infiltrate our world and take over, one vegitarian at a time. Join the fight against evil! Join the battle against edible demons – EAT MEAT!!! If not…well, I see horns, a tail and lots of fire in your future…you have been warned…
