"I remember reading that God forbade the eating of pork but . . . . . the people laughed and partied on."

Well Moses did anyway... Jesus said that it's not what you put in your mouth that makes you unclean, it's what comes out of it.

You can get parasites from virtually anything you eat. Pork these days is the cleanest meat you can buy. Cows however spend their entire lives laying outdoors on a crap pile.

#1 Moses is not my Savior so IF he did eat pork at some point in his life it doesn't matter.

#2 Jesus' life was under the most careful scrutiny and as a practicing Jew certainly not eat pork nor should His words be misconstrued to condone it.

#3 The diet God meant for man to have was carefully laid out in Genesis. That will be the one for heaven where there will be no more death or sorrows, so why not get a headstart now?

The trouble with pork was trichinosis, a disease related to pork if it is not well done. Has nothing to do with how dirty they are or what they lie in. Bears can also give you trichinosis, so cook the meat well if you kill one and eat it. Always cook pork throughly. That is why pork was forbidden to eat, lots of people ate it, back in the day, and got sick. It is fine as long as you cook it all they way through, in fact I eat lots of pork. Yummy!

Unless you mean "lying on a crap pile," I am reporting you to the moderator.
