This is a hypothetical question (so I don't want to hear "It would NEVER say that!") designed to test how strong your faith is vs. your common sense.
If you would do something your common sense tells you not to do, such as eating dog poo, on faith, why?
If not, then why do other things that are obviously wrong, such as killing people or being a total jerk, on faith?

No.
The Christian Bible clearly says not to eat pork or shellfish, and condones slavery. As a Christian, I don't follow any of those teachings.
Since fundamentalists say they take every word in the bible literally, I don't know if they abstain from bacon or crab or have sex-slaves secreted in the basements of their houses. You'd have to ask them.

i believe a human being we were given a logic and practical side somewhere in our brain.Francis bacon believe we have to experiment something before believe in it .then I'm applying but its the way around yes i have faith but i question it whether Im on th right side or not.i have nothing to fear Koran or bible won't create something that makes the believer look stupid just like some of the .if there is any then its a human corruptions and its our job to right what is wrong and hold to what we believe.

Any such book saying such nonsense could not be worthy of faith .
Me not a Christian , but I am sure that "bong..." is criminally wrong to quote ,(Ezekiel 4:12-15).

If the Bible really did say "Thou shalt eat dung", I would have to study in what context it said that and go from there. Perhaps the dung is simply symbolic for something else.

Personally, I wouldn't, but then I don't obey the Bible, the Koran, or any other "holy" book.
I decide for myself. I might read a book for ideas or consult someone's opinion, but I make the final decision myself.

I would know that Bart Simpson had a hand in editing that particular Bible...

It would NEVER say that! It tells Jews to mutilate the genitalia of all of their males. It is genital mutilation, by the way.

I am with you man. People take religion WAY too seriously for knowing so little facts.
Faith is almost ignorance.

Yes, I think they would. Common sense is not allowed in the truly devout.
