Hey Crazy...no one said "disgusted". i said "silly". Why do you get your panties in a twist and make shit up?
But it's funny you bring up food prohibitions because in the same page that supposedly bans boys kissing, the same book bans eating shellfish and wearing Cotton/Wool blends. Most of man's prohibitions that are supposedly founded on "God's wishes" are equally dumb. And please don't confuse Morality with words in a book written by a bunch of guys thousands of years ago. You can have a since of right and wrong without relying on some dusty old book. Killing other people is bad and not because it's in the Bible. If you need a book to tell you that killing and stealing are bad, you probably DO need to be going to church or something at LEAST once a week.
In Fact, I would say that atheists are generally "better" people because they act out of an innate sense of justice, an awareness of what is right and wrong not because they are simply afraid of some punishment by an unseen "God". (Get in trouble with daddy). If you act out of fear of punishment you're not really being "good". You know, the whole "acting the right way when NO ONE is looking". For people who live in fear of "God", someone is always looking. God.
So,
-Justice and Morality don't come from a book written by guys who claim it's the word of God (especially when what is "moral and right" in those books is ignored most of the time. Commandments 2,3,4,5 and 10 seem to be pretty much ignored for example)
-Religion and the various rules created by man in religions name don't have much connection to "God"
-Atheists are better people
-Prohibitions against eating pork and drinking alcohol are just as silly as celibacy for clergy
