>>wow, you eat all your meat extra well done???...the red stuff coning out of your rare steak is.......blood<<

NO it's not. I do my own butchering and have since I was 18 years old. The blood is drained from the carcass prior to evisceration. The red from the meat is simply tissue fluids which may contain some red corpuscles but is NOT blood. Blood is a much more complex fluid.

Me too...of course the blood is drained from the carcass, but small veins, capillaries, etc retain blood. I realize that this isn't what the Bible is pointing out but nevertheless, there's blood there
