The God Delusion and/ or any other blatantly Protestant books. CS Lewis and Milton are ok obviously.

Anything signaling witchcraft/ spells or nature worship.

I’m not memeing. The former signals she’s spiritually dead and maybe worships some fringe political idea, and the latter (witchy stuff) signals she has borderline personality disorder.

Honestly this seems a very anthropocentric view to me.
Whether we like it or not, we are biological entities who need to absorb other living beings in order to further our homeostasis for as long as possible.
You could say that we could stick to just plants and fungi.
But are fungi and plants "less" than animals, when we consider the "primary role of human beings in the universe to be the guard of other species" ?

>Well you don't have to always "kill" plants to get food
In religious books (I'm not religious), it's forbidden to tear a limb from an animal to eat it. Sure, plants can regrow it. But you think they don't "feel" it? I can see it with my trees in my yard, when you cut branch, they will start growing new branches in that place. This is not random, they "know" you cut them.
Also, I agree, that most plants you eat are still "alive" when you eat them.
...
But is this actually better?
Sure, you don't kill the whole plant, you kill a part of it that is in fact alive in its own way. If you take an apple from a tree, the tree still lives, but the apple is still "alive" (in the sense that it could grow to be another tree, in some conditions)

I remember that an underage girl and her bf killed her mother and brother (who was about my age at the time), and then blamed it on "THE ALBANIANS". Local politicians, of course, called for the extermination of the FOREIGNERS, with death penalty for heinous crimes.
Turns out, it was literally an underage girl who killed her mother and brother. Suddenly, right wing politicians didn't want death penalty for her :(

Some loony stuff about how White people are bad is a red flag but can be fixed if you are attractive, intelligent, and charistmatic enough. Despite the claims of leftists that nationalists are all incels (some are, of course, but not all), if you are an attractive and smart guy you can usually convince a cute girl with your arguments regardless of what you believe. Honestly, it's not even necessary to convince them of most stuff. I really don't care if a girl believes in democracy or not. What matters most is whether or not she wants to live a healthy lifestyle and have children. The rest is unimportant or will fall into place as a result of the values she already has. Unless you are a thoroughly brainwashed anti-White religious zealot, I care about my children is only a small step away from I care about my race. Those progessive parents on twitter who post about educating their kids on white privilege are mentally ill.
