The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you".
"Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you."
[Leviticus 11:7-8]
Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy
"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."
[Deuteronomy 14:8]
A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse 2-5.
So, if you dont want to follow your own religion, why dont you let others follow their own?

Because Christians have the New Testament as their primary source of direction. This is no reason to make fun of others who believe different. The OT teaches not to eat pork and the Christian faith stems from this Jewish belief. I apologize for the Christians that insulted you. But please understand that Christians are no longer governed by the OT.
