Reply: The ten commandments do not deal with pork or any other dietary regulation. The ten commandments are moot in the context of this discussion. They do tell people it is a bad thing to kill, cheat with your neighbor's wife or steal. But they do not tell Christians or anyone for that matter not to eat pork.
You are using your own interpretation of what parts of the Bible that are relevant. You. Lose.
Reply: I answered that by syaing I do not know whether this is in the OT, NT, Koran, Book of Mormon or any other publication attributed to god. That there is a cultural and in modern times a reasonably sound scientific reason not to do so (search "Kuru") is not disputed.
There is nothing that allows them to eat human flesh. Since humans is the work of God, you can't eat them. So, there are things that Christians - postJesus - cannot eat.
And yet, you treat Christians more leniently than Jews and Muslims.
Reply: By not using the pork based weapon on Fridays where Christians are forbidden from eating meat. The prohibition against eating meat on Fridays is no longer enforced by the church in America as far as I am aware but there are traditional, mostly older Catholics who still follow this.
I would also get a calendar with the religious days prominently inscribed thereon.
But the hams you drop on Fridays will just lie around, becoming a health hazard, attracting rats and other vermins. You are using the exact same methods as Hannibal, when he bombarded the enemy with venomous snakes, or the Mongol and Turkish armies, when they catapulted dead animals into cities.
It's a thoroughly barbaric and inhuman method, Steve. It's terrorism: Thoughtless, careless, and evil. It will bring only more grief and hatred.
Reply: Moot. We are not fighting Christian terrorists.
I said "if".
IF you are fighting Christian terrorists who believe they have to uphold Lent, would you similarly force-feed them on Lent? Yes or no? Are you really treating Christians more leniently than Jews and Muslims?
Reply: Collateral damage. As someone suggested they can get a dispensation from their iman as innocents. Israel is killing innocent muslims and Christians now in Lebanon. Killing is irreversible. Offending them is reversible and not permanent. The U.S. and Britain are killing innocent muslims in Iraq right now. Offending them is not as permanent as killing them in Iraq either.
"Collateral damage" is a term only cowards use, those who are afraid to tell it the way it is: Dead people. Children, Steve, shot to pieces. Can you say it? "Dead children"? Doesn't sound so nice, does it?
Even in Lebanon, the Hezbollah consists of some thousand militia personnel. When you start shooting pork bullets, you will end up hitting a
lot of "collateral damage".
Do you think the families of this "collateral damage" will appreciate that their loved ones were not just killed, but killed with a weapon that was designed to offend
all Muslims?
Why don't you just drop pig fat from the sky? That way, you achieve the same goal - smearing Muslims in pig - but at least you don't kill anyone. You just manage to offend not only the Muslims, but you will also show the world that you are willing to use a method that only a barbaric monster would use.
