It's fine that you and others avoid pork and shellfish because some anon(s) in the middle East thousands and thousands of years ago noticed folks getting sick from consuming undercooked samples and wrote down a rule forbidding it. That just leaves more bacon, shrimp and crab for me! :)
Yeah, I don’t condemn anyone for it, or think it’s necessarily a one way ticket out of Heaven, just think that it practically leads to better health and religiously is requested of us by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be faithful. My bigger beef (badum-psh!) is more with the church for teaching we can and should ignore it now.
Lots of people disagree with me though, and that’s fine. By your last note if we didn’t eat so much, we’d also have more around for Bacon Armor. Really digging that idea.
Funny enough that you mention it, I’ve had a lot more trouble talking people out of eating pork than shrimp. A lot. Nobody wants to give up pork. I don’t get it. Even when I used to eat them both, I never thought that much of pork, but loved shellfish. Maybe my body was trying to tell me it needed more mercury and chitin.
