If God wanted us to to brush and floss, wouldn't he have mentioned it in his book?

Go to Church! Hmmmm, ya think they had floss back then? Do ya think Jesus carried his Crest and Oral-B in his pouch?? ...Only to excuse himself from The Last Supper table to do a quick brush & floss job? I'm most certain that's how it was. Going to the dentist would have been a real ***** back then....nothing to numb you up before extraction (due to lack of brush / floss)! Nice bright teeth = God ... Cavities = Satan!!!!!

A commn error, but it was the ten PLAGUES of Egypt - not the ten PLAQUES!
Well, he told the Jews not to eat pork. Trichinosis, y'know. And he told the Muslims not to eat beef. He told the Jains not to eat meat at all. And the Catholics can eat whatever they want except on Fridays. And the Hare Krishnas can't eat meat, but they have to shave their heads and give out flowers in airports. I agree: oral hygeine is seriously under-represented in religious texts in general. No mention in the Torah, the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita.
Floss, people! It's the only way for your teeth to be SAVED! Worship not the water pick, but be true to the one true floss!

He says the body's a temple. Take care of your body. Your teeth are part of your body. Take care of them by brushing/flossing your teeth.

It is a well known fact that people who don't floss are possessed by Satan. That includes some fat preachers who spend much of their time shoving pork chops in their faces.

The Bible is to teach you about God and to help you to be a better person. It is all spiritual. The Bible does not talk about your activities related to clean your body

I think he left that one for us to figure out on our own.
Not everything is in the Bible. That is why God gave us brains with the ability to rationalize and think for ourselves--so we wouldn't have to look to a book every time we had a decision to make.

Bravo! That's what these kooks don't get. The bible is a guide, but to make it everything is crazy! Life has evolved.
