Look...the bible was written by MAN not GOD. IT was written to help the governing men govern there populace... In that day swine had cysts and parasites that were deadly to humans. So they added that to keep there populace from eating them and getting sick. Today we have eradicated the parasites that lived in swine, making it safe to eat.
I so wish you people would stop twisting the bible to say what you want it to say. It is a simple book to read.. The whole bible is meant to teach you two things...
1... Love God above all else...
2... Love your neighbor above yourself.
All the rest is just filler. Trying to teach us to live peacefully and coexist in harmony.
The bible also says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" Jesus Christ
Of coarse they don't tell you about the little old lady that stood up and picked up a rock... Just before Jesus yelled "MOM!"

cause pork is yummy. and they really are not as dirty as all other barn animals.
the reason the Arabs and Jews do not eat pork is not because they are filthy habits. it is an ancient tradition because it could not be prepared in a way that would not harm the public.
Kinda like circumcisions. it was done in order to prevent infections because they did not have the hygiene we have today.
ME LIKEY PORK!

I don't understand this racial issue in the U.S. I am hoping that it will STOP before I die. Just because David is black, why do you have to wonder at all how people could think he is not a human being? How cruel can people be? I will say, however, that it's too difficult to accept serial pedophiles as propagators. I will not accept that. Children have been abused for centuries and I am hoping that behaviour will also STOP before I die.

well - originally you would be right. however, we are under a new covenant by the blood of Jesus and are no longer bound by those laws. Also, in this present day, we have the tech. and knowledge to make eating pork safer.
In contrast, i still agree with you somewhat. The high fat content in pork as well as several other factors make it non-beneficial to your health. But, i think it's okay to eat it once in awhile

Ahhhhh! Pork Chops MMMMMMM!
Cause it's yummy. Bacon, Sausage, Ham steaks, Pork Roast all good!
Ya see it's only dirty on the OUTSIDE, ever see a cow? They are dirty too, but you take the dirty part off and it's all good.
A better question is why the French think Horse meat is a delicacy.

Because in todays society we have advancements in Hiegene and technology so the filthy swines you speak of are a clean as anyother animal you decide to eat.

A pig is actually a very clean animal .
It's not because it rolls itself in mud , that it's filthy .
That way it gets rid of possible parasites.
A pig is part of nature , just like any other animal on this planet , and we should have respect for all animals .
Wise guy !!!

I hate to tell you this, fool, but pork is no longer host to trichosomiasis in the west, WE look after our animals and ensure thaat they are disease free before we eat them. How dare you take offense at our habits when you still stone women for wearing jeans and torture orphan children for stealing food. Clean your own house before you start on others'

Where did you read that a pig is filthy?? I mean, not as in a translated self interprete book that is...? Or if it states that in your holy book, could you help me out here, and repeat the words as they're in the book, PIGS ARE FILTHY DISGUSTING BEINGS, FOR.... and please no symbolical reason!... Pigs are beautifull intelligent animals... you know, they are created by "god" or "allah", so why do you insult THE Creator of all???

holy crap! What if I told you to stop eating any and all sugar because it makes you stupid, would you? People eat pork because it tastes good. YOUR RELIGION IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD. I am no religion and think that ALL religions have flaws in them. ALL OF THEM. Pork doesn't make u stupid either, aparently not eating it does...
