Guy, some of the laws probably DID make sense at the time.
Someone didn't cook pork properly, got hookworms or whatever, why, the Pig must be unclean! God has spoken!
Someone had a shellfish allergy, at some shrimp and choked? Must be unclean! God has spoken.
But today, we have science and computers and space shuttles... we don't need such nonsense.
Wow!
Try to remember that you're trying to pass yourself off as a rational thinker. Psst. Its not working.
You do know that people of every nation and language culture and tribe have been comparing other people to lower creatures to either praise or insult ever since people could talk? You know like you have compared others to dogs, swine, snakes, wolves, vermin, vultures, etc., TRUE?
Thats the subject of the divine menu, clean or unclean
teaching, of swine, bottom feeders, etc.
It was and is still very relevant, in fact it is essential to a happy life and achieving peace on earth.
Yet you are still stuck on food. WTF! Apparently you do need such nonsense.... mr. science guy.
Be open.
Try to grasp the deeper implications of this confounding revelation, as it applies to all religions.
This is my flesh. Eat it. It should make your hunger to do away with religious chicanery, satisfied.
