Yeah, but that's just a personal interpretation. Regarding the sanctity of life, does anyone use that as a defense for vegetarianism?
What do you mean?
Using biblical sanctity of life as reasoning for being a vegetarian?
That wouldn't make sense, because the Bible doesn't see Animal Life as divine.
Only humans are made in Gods image, which is why they are sacred.
The argument doesn't lend itself to care for animals.
Also, I don't see how many other interpretations there can be of the numerous passages in all the Hebrew-based holy books that refer to Man being made in Gods image.
Especially when linked to other passages depicting how men should not be killed.
