Eating shrimp and prawns is forbidden by God!

Post Reply New Topic

The christian bible says that shrimp, prawns, oysters, clams, crabs, and lobsters are an "abomination" and you must not eat them:

What do you think? Is it true? Will god be displeased if you eat shrimp, prawns, etc?

Bonus question: What does god think of people who eat Twinkies? Are twinkies unholy as well?

Yes twinkies are the Devil's communion wafers
Thats why they taste so good

erm actually no. prawns and assorted shellfish are banned under the old testament law, Jews still don`t eat shellfish, at least they feel they shouldn`t. These prohibitions however have generally lost their meaning upon the institution of the New Covenant.

((Warning to the sensitive: the following is parody, nothing more. ^.~ No offense is meant.))

"Thou shalt not eat twinkies" was in one of the 5 commandments that Moses dropped. (For reference, see Mel Brooks's film "History of the World: Part One.") Along with it were:

-"Thou shalt not allow the one known as Uwe Boll to have any involvement in the creation of film, for he is the Anti-Christ."
-"Thou shalt pluck the dark-skinned children from their wombs and feed them to the pigs, for our race must be Aryan and unified." (For reference on how to best feed people to pigs, see the film "Snatch.")
-"Thou shalt not listen to liberals."
-"Thou shalt warship Cthulhu along with the almighty GOD, and take the first, second, and third Order of Dagon. Thou shalt not let one who does not take the Third Order of Dagon live."

There was also a star after "Thou Shalt not kill," indicating a footnote, but nobody noticed it. The footnote was on that broken slab of rock, and said:

"Except Blacks, Asians, Latinos, Jews, Agnostics, Atheists, Muslims, Pagans, Non-believers, Liberals, Radicals, Moderates, Witches, H.P. Lovecraft, Those who read the propaganda that that H.P. Lovecraft fellow has spewed, Actors, Politicians not of Bush blood, Jehova Witnesses, Mormons, Satanists, Deists, Immigrants, Communists, Socialists who are not National Socialists (Nazi's), Hippies, Goths, Emos, Pimps, Punks, RPG nerds, And anyone else whose mere existence questions the almighty will of GOD."

You see, Christianity is in reality a Nazi Cult of Cthulhu. No, really, I read it in a book that Zeus wrote a long time ago. Zeus also says that the Law of Gravity is propaganda and doesn't exist. And if Zeus says it, I believe it!

This is one thing that I find rather confusing. People refer how this or that is banned in the bible meaning the old testament but then with things like this they go by the new one. Picking and choosing what is correct or forbidden. So why is it okay to throw away some thing and keep certian things? A lot of the things fundamentalist say they are against are spelled out in the old testament which they quote all the time and have little if no mention in the new testament like homosexuality and such. The new testament is not quted very much. So who decided what was acceptable.

Hate is as blind as it is ignorant. There are many forms of hate such as hate or discriminations against religion, religious of hate or discriminations, skin colors, socio-economic disposition, lifestyle choice, personality and otherwise.

None of the food is gassy enough, least with the defense Martin Luther puts forth with getting rid of the devil with a fart. Perhaps God does not ordain a fart itself, but the farter with the simple authority and power of ones self-flamables.

OR perhaps hell is a fart, light it and you might catch your bum on fire, hell indeed does have fire.

Well rember that the bible was written thousands of years ago, so it might be a myth within the local culture at the time with shellfish ect.

I just find it fascinating the possible spheres (abstract) of how it is in the believers mind.

likewise, deuteronomy says you shouldn't eat pigs because they have a split hoof. like parts, i wonder how it is fundamentalists can reconcile picking and choosing what they believe from the bible. being a vegetarian, none of this would affect me anyway, even in the unlikely event that i was to decide to turn to xtianity at some point in the future.

I don't agree with you that much but this has always bothered me at least there is some commen ground here

Shell fish are very suspetable to caring disese if polluted waters and than there is triginosis in pork which are likely the origins of these but the is lots of other wierd stuff in deuteronomy and Leviticus there are even koser locusts

I don't believe God hates shrimp if I was to imagine to understand a God reality that had independent though. Rather the consumption of it by humans, it's like potato’s and how royalty use to refuse to eat it because it was in the ground with the dirt.

God created shrimp, maybe a presumptive god does not want humans to consume it. However I am unsure of that as well, The God stories make me think everything here is for mankind.

Not sure.

Yeah! Shrimp are an unholy and unnatural part of the world. We need to pass laws against them, to protect us from all the activist judges!

They're the devils shellfish.

Were you being sarcastic?

Two things. First off, I was just being silly.

Second, I suspect that EMP might be saying that if you use portions of the bible to say that "homosexuality is evil", you also have to accept all kinds of other cray things.

Sounds like Leviticus. I've heard this line of reasoning before.


In a way I was kind of alluding to that. But then, I'm not sure if that's what he's actually doing or not

Yes, I am saying that. More generally, I am saying that christianity is ludicrous. It is such a ridiculous farce.

I am also saying that the authors of the christian bible were disturbed crazy madmen. It makes no sense to revere the bible and think it is sacred.
