Apr...uh, speaking of that, I don't understand why fundamentalist Christians who take the Bible as the literal word of God (and cite Leviticus as to why gays shouldn't be allowed to marry) don't keep kosher. Seriously, why is it ok to eat a cheeseburger in 2004 A.D. if it wasn't ok back then? The whole "pork is safer now" doesn't even begin to cover all of the other stuff (like the milk and meat forbidden combo.)
(One of these days, I'll hear the answer. I mean, I used to ask Southern Baptists how drinking could be so bad if Jesus used his first miracle to turn water into wine at the weding in Cana, and someone told me it was ok for Jesus to do that because wine was was weaker then and water was dangerous. Of course, that begs the question as to why he didn't turn the icky water into pure water, but it is an explanation.)
