he made shellfish in the first place why not unmake it.

So are a lot of meats

WHY unmake it

so they took it as 'clearly god doesnt want us eating it, because when we do it makes us sick'

🙂

so they made the rule not to eat it, and more people survived than the groups that decided to eat it

I mean I'm 100% atheist but questioning the thought processes of an alleged omnipotence is pointless

because it complets my portrait of god being a madman who has total contempt for our intelligence.

indeed

I just got involved because he's being a petty little shit about it

and yes, all meats are dangerous, pork has a special enzyme or chemical where its much more dangerous to eat

@Harazu Keshtah of course God is a madman in the perception of limited beings

and this is in the days pre-science

Fuck, the biblical representation of elements of the OT god were horrifying and incomprehensible

so people didnt think 'clearly this meat has a chemical that makes me sick' they thought 'the meat is cursed'

different mindset, same end result

I'm ignostic. I don't believe in omnipotence or unlimited beings.

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU it's reductionist to say that all religious/cultural traditions stem from pre-scientific logic though

you can't look at god you'll melt (not making that one up)

if you eat pork, youll contract a problem more likely than if you ate other foods, so dont risk it

A stopped clock is correct twice a day

beef superior

lol what

You can just cook the pork.

nah, don't bother

cooking methods back then were not safe enough

beef is the way

Some old hebrew tribes would toss goats off of mountaintops because of apocryphal mythology that claimed a demon was sealed in the earth beneath the mountains, that they had to feed.
That wasn't prescientific logic, that was pure religious insanity

youre ignoring the context of when it was written

I wasn't talking about then, I'm saying it to Joker, now we can just cook it.

You are ignoring how retarded an idea this is

Ironically, the Desert Fathers that codified the Torah tried to erase references to those mythological traditions, with varying degrees of efficacy

@UnfilteredGarbage if youre unwilling to try to understand why they did that, thats the exact problem

We are talking about a so called "God" here

all these zoomers who only know about lightning mcqueen and im here pouring a forty for my OG nigga

I understand why pork was avoided in the past, but we don't live in caves anymore and we understand that you need to cook your pork.

and also yes, some of the old ideas were fucking retarded, and theyve come a long way

which is why christianity exists

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU we know why they did that. They believed a demon was sealed in the earth by YHWH and that if they fed the demon a goat marked with their sins, God could not find their sins to judge them for

because Judaism was not exactly what someone else thought was the better way to live
