[Mr. K]

This site is getting a bit racist - let’s keep it to rational discussion commentary and skip the replies that are only name calling.

There is a saying in English that “a man becomes what he eats”.

What do you eat to become a Murdering Islamo-facist?

[xzins]

If you are complaining that you’re poor cause you met K there, then I’m telling on you as soon as I find her email address.

I'd don't see the point here other than to slander Islam.

Alouette posted an article from an islam publication. Please tell me how that is slander of islam.

slander
n 1: words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another
2: the act of defaming [syn: aspersion, calumny, defamation]
v : charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and reputation of someone; "The journalists have defamed me!" The article in the paper sullied my reputation" [syn: defame, smirch, asperse, denigrate, calumniate, smear, sully, besmirch]

Acts Chapter 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven

“Are pigs good for anything other than being eaten?”

That is a very good question, and why are a people who do not eat piggies such experts on pig behavior...Why are they keeping pigs??

I think the Ayatollah’s Green Book has clues.

[Alouette]

I dont recall seeing that in the New Testament

My Bible does not include the New Testament.

Actually, unbeknown to me, it was my Psychology Professor’s daughter and I was a freshman and didn’t know what the party was about. It was kind of a fraternity initiation spoof on the pledges. She won and I got an F. The rest, as they say, is histoire.

[unionblue83]

The mohammedans are going to try and venture into science now? May Pigs Be Upon Him, that wretched caravan-raiding pedophile. The SandNazi Death Cult.

[safisoft]

The Bible has also forbidden swine-flesh, but Christians disregarded this order and started consuming it.

Yeah Buddy, we have this Jesus fellow that said that animals can not be unclean...only man. We don't ignore it, it simply doesn't apply. Doofus

Too bad you do not know your own leader's words, and are impolite about it as well. Nowhere does "Jesus" say that animals cannot be unclean. Think about it for a moment, if "Jesus" had said such a thing (which He did not), then He COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MESSIAH - and you remain in your sins.

Here is a question for you who claim "Jesus" as Messiah. Think very carefully about it before you answer.

If "Jesus" kept the "Law" (and to be qualified as Messiah He had to), why don't you? Isn't a disciple supposed to imitate his master?

[Little Bill]

My mother is Irish, I never ate any meat undercooked, mostly on the black side.

[safisoft]

How did they miss, that G-d created everything and “He saw that it was good.”

Good, yes. But not for food. Not everything is food. How did you miss that the first command that G-d gave was about what not to eat?

Can you tell me Biblically, why cannibalism is morally wrong?

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"This site is getting a bit racist ..."

I sincerely apologize to any pigs that were offended by my remark.

[LtKerst]

Heres an interesting comparason...

Look at the 1999 number of Trichinosis cases in these countrys...

Indonesia..( 10 cases )...Population 238 million.
USA.........( 12 cases )..Population 293 million.
No Difference.

Iran.........( 2 cases )...population 67 million.
England.......( 2 cases )...population 60 million.
No Difference!

Iraq.........( 1 case )...population 25 million.
Canada.......( 1 case )...population 32 Million.
No Difference!!!

It is all crap, because Trichinosis is also carried in sheep and goats. the disease is carried to man through (Under-cooked meat ) not the type of meat.

So this whole Article is Crap, and the Author is a Liar.
IMHO.

check www.wrongdiagnosis.com for the data.
it took me 5 minutes to expose this moron liar.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

These quotes from the Holy New Testament show that Jesus and his apostles had knowledge that science would not know for nearly two millennium.

[LtKerst]

In the above posting, you can see the top country is muslim, and the lower ones are Very western, the top eats no pork, and The lower ones do...
also in the ratio of population to cases, America and
Canada’s ratio is better than the islamic country’s

So the fact is that These Muslim Nations are eating
More contaminated Meats than the Western ones.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

She was friendly and no worse than any other animal I've ever seen as far as gluttony goes.

Its the fact that pigs and boars do not sweat and cannot cool by panting that makes them seem so dirty, they will walllow in mud baths to stay cool. However, if given a choice of cool clean water they actually prefer that. Pigs will eat as much as you can feed them without their stomach's bursting, however, the same can be said of dogs and cats.

Muslims are of all races, therefore there is no racism. That said Mohammad is the false prophet that Jesus taught us about, Satan will try to take over the world through this religion and Jesus will strike them down.

I dont recall seeing that in the New Testament <

My Bible does not include the New Testament.

And yet... Bibles that include the "New Testament" also contain the commands not to eat unclean animals.

Why is it some people think that they must annul the front 3/4 of their "Bible" with the back 1/4 of their "Bible."

Alouette, knowing the history and theological arguments against Christians keeping kosher is quite enlightening.

Essentially, history supports the idea that it is 100% about anti-Semitism. Christians did not want to be associated with Jews during the first and second revolts in the First and Second Century. They stripped themselves of all identifying characteristics of Judaism to avoid the persecution and taxation of Rome (e.g. Fiscus Judaicus). >

Then they came up with theological arguments why "parts" of the Torah were invalid for them. Funny, it is only the "Jewish" parts. Never do they say, "Jesus fulfilled the Law against lying, therefore I am now free to lie." No, they only say this about "Jewish" identity markers such as kosher, shabbat, moadim, and tzitzit etc.

The English translators of the "New Testament" add words, change verb tenses, etc. in a conserted effort to support supercessionism (replacement theology, where the "church" replaces "Israel") and/or dispensationalism (where the "church" age supercedes the "Israel age".)

It is like spiritual schizophrenia. Weird.

“Somebody said that you should have to eat a piece of bacon before you are allowed to get on an airplane. Interesting idea............”

What’s this unreasonable fear of kosher Jews and vegetarians?
