  3. Hehehe I don’t 🙂 Used to eat pork when younger, the learned over time why God warned against it, as it causes cancer. (They luckily didn’t mention BACON hahaha) But, fifteen years ago, we lived on a farm with large industrial pigsties and, after what I had seen there, I don’t need religion to tell me why it “ain’t no food.” Pigs are the most heinous things, fit for demons to live in. 🙂 🙂

    Something interesting: some Bibles read “and, with that, Jesus declared all food clean.” Well, that never was part of Scripture until a monk decided to lend God a hand with translation and slipped it in, at least two centuries later.
