We've lost the battle for morals if we can't stand up and call sodomy a disgusting abominable sin. Muslim Americans and Orthodox Jews would say that eating pork is a disgusting abominable sin.
Should we ban pork because some people find the eating of it sinful?
I asked the pork question earlier. No one responded. It's called cognitive dissonance. Just ignore things that seem to disprove your thoughts. It makes life a lot easier. :-)
I'll take you up on that one. First of all I don't equate dietary habbits with sexual perversion. Jews follow the old Testament which forbid the eating of Pork. Christians believe that the New Testament fulfills the O.T. and supercedes it in some areas. Under the age of grace we are free to eat anything. It is still wrong for us to eat pork in front of a Jew or Muslim if our purpose is to instigate trouble or drive them away. We are to be sensitive to the consciences of others and seek to show a Christlike example.

To help answer that question, let me first explain a ballot proposition that was approved in California recently. For years, horse owners in the state of California had been slaughtering their horses and selling the meat in France, Italy, Belgium, and elsewhere, where horse flesh is considered a high-priced delicacy.
But the voters in California approved a ballot initiative known as proposition 6, that outlawed the slaughter of horses for food. The law passed because Americans have a different value system from the sophisticated Europeans and their exotic dishes. For more read this:

I suppose that, if Muslims and observant Jews ever became a majority in the US, there would be nothing to stop them from outlawing pork.
