You wade in unprovoked and tell someone they are wrong and you are right, ridicule them and then accuse them of preaching to you - so funny.

No they shouldn't be viewed as anything of the kind. Some of our Stone Age ancestors thrived on shellfish — their middens are full of shells. Most dietary prohibitions are supersttious bollocks, dreamed up to consolidate the power of priests who ruled by fear. Trust you people to bring the Bible into everything. How boring.

The reason why pork is prohibited in many societies pursuing a marginal existence in difficult environments is given in my earlier post.

It seems that you believe only your answer is worthy and right.
