And we know some plants aer bad to eat, and some insects contain poisons. Perhaps it's Yahweh's will that some animals are bad to eat. King III: Ok, so it's God's will, then? And not just the fact that pigs wallow in their own **** and eat it too? Rabbi: Sounds good to me. Better add this info to the sermons and make sure the memos get passed on to the Talmudic Scholars. Yeah, that was probably something of the gist of it. Of course, in the millennia since, we've gotten a lot of really subtle justifications for the kosher laws, including some that come very close to numerology. "God made things in ones and twos, and anything that varies from these are non-Godly. So cloven hooves are bad, since that's one leg and two hooves, which makes three..." That's not the real argument, but the Talmudic arguments that I've read are quite similar to that. A lot of numerology... Doug |

But they don't, when they have the choice. When they are humanely given a pen big enough to separate into food, exercise and **** areas, they keep them all separate. My folks kept a pig on their little hobby farm, in a 5x5 m pen. He picked a corner to **** in as far from his food trough as he could get. Pigs wallow in mud, but that only looks dirty from our point of view. Sand cleans a pig's skin. |

wrote: Oh, yeah -- no question. Now, that's not to say that Judaic scholars over the past 4,000 years or so haven't spent ages and ages coming up with complex and subtle spiritual justifications for the kosher laws. But, to my reading of some of it, that's all they are -- justifications. The real reason was, indeed, to prevent the kinds of "maladies" that befell other middle eastern tribes of the time. (A really nasty mold or outbreak of trichinosis could literally decimate a tribe... and the kosher laws were one reason why the Jews tended to outlast a lot of their contemporaries.) ....Precisely. In fact, I can see the chain of events now: Rabbi: People are dying from eating pig products. Tribal King: Yes, but sausage wraps with unleaven bread are great, Rabbi! Rabbi: Perhaps, but if you keep eating them you'll die. Look at the Bedouins who've we've seen suffer from these maladies! Pigs eat theri own ****, o King! What would you expect from such an unclean animal? King: But they taste great! Especially with A-1 sauce! If they weren't meant to be eaten, why would God put them on Earth? [three weeks later] Tribal King II: Well, here we bury my father. Throw on the stones over the tomb, and let's get that BBQ started! Roast pig and sausage wraps for everyone! Rabbi: But King Jr., didn't you see for yourself? Your father at pig products, and he died! Just like I said he would! King II: Yeah, right. Coincedence. Everyone dig in! [three more weeks later] King III: Ok, I'll bite. Pork is apparently bad for you, why is this so, Rabbi? Rabbi: Well, lessee, Yahweh made the Heavens and the Earth, and he made the Land and the Seas, and he made all the Plants and the Insects and the Animals. And we know some plants aer bad to eat, and some insects contain poisons. Perhaps it's Yahweh's will that some animals are bad to eat. King III: Ok, so it's God's will, then? And not just the fact that pigs wallow in their own **** and eat it too? Rabbi: Sounds good to me. Better add this info to the sermons and make sure the memos get passed on to the Talmudic Scholars. King III: Yeah, I figure if Gramps and Pop and the rest of Israel wouldn't listen to you, at least they'll listen to God. Do you think we should exterminate them just to be on the safe side? Rabbi: Oy. There's nothing wrong with raising and selling them to the Gentiles and proto-Muslims, o King. No sense wasting profit there, nu?
