Religion is too confusing :: too many rules. Whose to say, what I can and cannot do
That's why I'm "spiritual but not religious"
I make my own rules
Edit: sometimes even on WHT

Still, even if that day arrived and someone was to pay me a million dollars, I dont think I could still consume pig or alcohol. I've now developed almost a feeling of disgust at the thought of taking either of the two.
Telling ya man LessHost, must be very convenient . Pretty soon to adhere to some of religion's laws, I'm gonna have to go back to farm living where the milk comes from the cow, the meat from the goat and the eggs from the chicken - all from my backyard.

When my brother used to work on a dairy farm, they fed the cows brewery grain prior to (or after) milking. I didn't realise what it was until I did a tour of a brewery and found it was the waste products from the brewing process.

I can't remember to well but one of the reasons that I remember, [not sure if it's true] is that pigs, like chickens and other animals might eat dirty things. [ex: feces] The difference between the pigs and other animals are that pigs don't have the capability to sweat so it turns to meat. http://www.pighealth.com/
I'm not really sure if its true or not so correct me if I'm wrong.

oonth,
While we don't share the same religious beliefs, I respect them. I'll confess myself as a 'non-religious carnivore', more than happy to "chow down" on most of God's creatures.
I've seen a few instances in this thread where people seem to be imposing upon you, and I'm just posting now in light of this to remind people that people are people, and theology differs from one person to the next.
'oonth' has so far been very accomodating to some fairly wild remarks, but I'd consider it fairly rude for some of you guys to take that as an opportunity to just fire off any half-brained comment you come up with.
On a personal note (being a lover of both pork and whiskey) you seem like a person I'd love to talk with, though I doubt it would ever be over dinnerFormer Webhost... now, just a guy.

Anyways, I don't think the comments by others above were rude. It was just caught up in the fun

Kerry, I love you And no, you have caused me no harm or offense at all.
LessHost, thank you for those words.
akashik, why not at dinner? Classical Indian food can make the biggest of you Bud fans get involved with the actual FOOD and forget the drink for a night.
I truly enjoy answering these questions and discussing stuff like this here - more than anything, it teaches ME more about my religion.
Happy Holidays to ya'll.
