3 they lied about the truth of spirtuality God and the afterlife
4 they killed off many people and still claim to be a religion of love and peace
5 they use fear guilt and shame and tell people they are freeing them

Don't let your English teacher read this. He/she will be so disappointed in your lack of reasoning skills. One doesn't make the other true. Heck, your geometry teacher shouldn't see this either. Your proof is tragically flawed.
People eating pork would never make Christianity a lie- it COULD make the people eating pork wrong, but not the religion itself. If you actually read the Bible as an entire work and not just pick and choose the parts you want to read to prove to yourself that your lifestyle is okay, you'd realize that Christians are under a new covenant. Eating pork made people unclean because pigs are unclean animals. As Christians we don't have to worry about being unclean because Jesus has made us whole again. Jesus is clean, so we are too. It's like having a really cool celebrity friend who can get you into all the high-profile parties. "He's with me."
Besides, bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.

when Jesus came and died on the cross and rose again from the dead, He made everything CEREMONIALLY CLEAN, which means that the old laws no longer apply. The only ones that still do are the TEN COMMANDENTS. The other laws, such as eating pork was no longer in effect. Everything through Jesus Christ has become new and clean.
Jews are the only ones who are forbidden to eat port, Gentiles ate whatever they want! that is why the Bible mentions that swine herds were owned by Gentiles, since the Jews could not touch, eat, or own any forbidden foods or animals. The Jews still practice this because they are still living in the OT times. Since their rejection of Jesus, they do not follow the New Testament.

I think your confusing christianity with judaism. if you read the bible you would know that the bible is separated into two part the hebrew (jewish) and the christian-greek (christians). Go read to book of Acts and you'll understand why christians are able to eat pork. You should really think before you speak because by you saying that "christianity is a lie" you are calling christ a liar and in no way is that true.

Don't throw the Baby out with the bathwater!!!!! Get a grip! I am a Christian and just recently gave up eating pork, not that it has anything to do with My relationship with God. In the Old Testament, Pork was forbidden because they knew that it was unclean, meaning God forbade it for their own good, because they are scavengers and will eat anything they can get their mouths around including dead bodies. They carry diseases that is why God Forbade it, now days, we don't really have to worry as much about diseases, but we still should be cautious that is why I gave up pork.

You obviously haven't read it.
The old testament forbids eating pork. So yes, you are right the Bible does say that.
But the new testament does not. We are now living under the new testament laws since the arrival of Jesus.
The Bible is not a lie.
Rather, you are believing the lies of man.
Lies that have been passed down for centuries to confuse the ones who do not read the Bible, and therefore assume.
Like yourself.
You should read the holy book of any language you chose to criticize.
Because you would then criticize much less. Or at least you could then criticize with knowledge.

The prohibition against eating pork was done away with by a vision given to Saint Peter and recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.

You are wrong about pork and Christians. The New Testament has no such restriction.
Genesis 9:2
2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.
Leviticus 11 does refer to -You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.
However the New Testament has no such restriction.
Jew's follow the restriction, not Christians.

Just because a person eats pork does not make the Word Of God a lie. The bible tells us to Love one another. Do we? No.
But that does make the word of God a lie. It tells me that the person is at fault.

Actually, Bibles forbid Jews from eating pork. Gentiles are allowed to eat pork if they wish. Most Christians are Gentiles.

For religious dietary laws, Jews were forbidden to eat pork/pig/swine. But where do you find that Christians are forbidden to eat pork? True, it might be healthier if they didn't/don't. But where in the New Testament do you find such dietary laws?
There is an "Old" Covenant and a "New" Covenant.
