Very true. When I first went vegan in 2010, I was struck by how it filled the hole left by my absence of religion as an atheist. For many vegans, veganism becomes a aesthetic purity contest that has a striking parallel in the old biddies at church who gripe and gossip about each other in an effort to seem holier-than-thou.
I am quite diligent by nature. I have fairly strong willpower and have never had a substance abuse problem or eating disorder because of this natural diligence. So taking on a discursive meditation, Sphere of Protection and daily divination habit was no problem for me. I can see why it is difficult for others though, and why it is most likely the door code for a relationship with the gods.
