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.

A Jew or a Muslim might.

This is the kind of arbitrariness we get into when we begin to enshrine religious morality into law.

Especially religious morality that does not affect innocent third parties.
