Pork, good for you, bad for Muslims and Jews.

It's intelligent, atleast for the middle east region because Pork was historically disease ridden in that region. very unhealthy. But worldwide... eh. There is a reason God rescinded the Law of Moses when Christianity went world wide.

I'm all for the muslims ban on pork. Gives us a psycological advantage on them. All bullets should be tipped in lard.

Historically, the pork ban was good, as it lead to a healthier society (the ban, not pork). In modern times, it doesn't really have a practical purpose, but it is a way of expressing their faith. I know a Messianic Jew (a Jew who is also a Christian) who says she doesn't think there's really anything wrong with not going kosher, but that she sticks to kosher, anyway, because it sets here apart as one of God's chosen people. Nothing arrogant, it just kind of takes the fire out of what she says when she proclaims her Jewness and orders a ham sandwich in the same breath.

The jewish people I've known eat pork and don't see a problem with it.
Didn't Macarthur dip bullets in pork at one time??

You might be thinking of the British in India and the causes of the Sepoy Mutiny/Rebellion.

I'd have to look it up more, don't feel like it right now. I know someone did it in one of the wars.
Anyway my whole thought on pork is who cares. The only way I see it as a problem is the muslims who refuse to check the people out in the stores. I read a story about wal-mart having a problem with that.
They shouldn't apply for a position and then expect changes be made for them. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs that don't go against their religion.

It was General Pershing in the Philipines. They had a bunch of muslim insurgents like they have today. He captured 50 of them and had his men dip their bullets in pigs blood then executed 49 of them and buried them with the pigs blood on them. The last guy was released to go tell his buddies. The insurectiuon died out after that.

The Jews don't have a problem with pork other than they are not suppose to eat it. They can touch pigs or the meat and it is ok. muslims can't even touch a pig and any part of a pig is considered contaminating and if they die having touched a pig or pig parts they go to hell unless they have a special ritual to purify themselves.
The Israelis began putting tubs of lard on their buses to discourage bombers. Because the lard would be spread by a bomb and get all over the remains of the bomber. You notice there haven't been any bus bombings in Israel for a long time.

Bah, Pershing was well behind the Brits on the brutality stakes then. They strapped the rebellious Sepoys to the muzzles of cannons and fired them.

That's clever, using the enemy's superstitions against him, that's exceedingly clever.

Jesus never changed the pork thing. As Peter (I think peter) dream indicated, it will not mean "hellfire" but, I see no problem with keeping with the original command. Many things were unclean back then, yet it was only pork. Why differentiate?

I don't see an option for "Who cares - it's part of their religion and their choice"
I think sucking back a piece of styrofoam, and everyone drinking wine from the same germy cup is stupid, but people do it anyway, because it's part of their religion.
