Well, then you totally misunderstood.

I don't take anything from Steve as a law, but he is the most reasonable blogger I have ever seen. However, I do not 100% agree in everything he says and does. Like I said (don't you read all the posts before you reply? ) he has a way to look at life very similar to my own way of thinking.

This whole vegan-thing and his 30 Days Raw-experiment is something I could not agree with at this point. I think it's fun and interesting that he gives it a try, but I couldn't do anything like that myself. Not right now, I would first have a long process of giving up all my unhealthy food-habits. So the next month will for me, just be a fun ride (outside looking in) to see what happens. I will not immediately start eating only raw food just because King Steve does. I'm not at all brainwashed and I'm asking a lot of questions. I do not just accept everything.

When my girlfriend was "partially joking and partially serious", I had just referred to something Steve had written about, and something that were discussed here on the forum. That led to her sect-comment.

However, when I told her about all the comments many made, like: "It is not up to you to decide what she should think" etc, she actually thought this forum wasn't so bad after all
