Dasa.
No contest. He's the clear choice.
Anyway , in light of the recent appalling comment he made in mikeloms thread, I will have to go with Dasa as well now.
Remember Dasa, this is a vote for your comments, not you. You have tried (and failed miserably) to try to "expose dishonesty" and so on. You may have had good intentions but ignoring perfectly good counter arguments shows that you are not flexible and "water like" in your spiritual thinking. Your thoughts are rigid like a fundamentalists .
You will need to loosen up your thinking to achieve your spiritual aspirations.
Well, what do you say? For example can you see yourself accepting that people can be spiritual and eat meat? I think this would be a very good starting point for you, for this is one of the subjects that shows your stubborness and constant inability to see that there is more to spirituality than just following your (or anyones) rules.
As has been pointed out by me and other posters eating meat is acceptable and actually spiritually satisfying in some contexts. Just because people only eat vegetables does not insure that society will improve. We need to get to the heart of the matter, to "get into the spirit" of things like vegetarianism and abstinence, rather than just judge people for their "surface" decisions.

this is what is judged rather than outward appearances. As the Holy Bible
says -- It is not what is put into the mouth that defiles a man, but what
comes out of the mouth.

Mere opinions masquerading as truth is that all any of us has.
materialism is a very poor vehicle for understanding ourselves and who have not
limited their quest for understanding to unintelligent agencies.
