To all of you who said that the Bible does not oppose homosexuality, suffice to say you are incorrect. Since you have such an ethnocentric perspective about this issue, anyway, you should ask your President who agrees with my interpretation of the scriptures.
One of the reasons why muslims don't eat pork is they believe the pig is unclean. Pigs will eat anything including human flesh. Once the pigs eat us then we eat them, we consume the human(cannibalism).NothingButTheBlood said:Animals can have bacteria in their blood. Pig blood is toxic and probably why God ordered them not to eat it. I boil my rabbit first before frying. Kills all the little bugs and cooks it all through first.

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Middlemoor said:It's important to realise that Leviticus doesn't just contain rules for ceremonial and archaic behaviors, but things like theft, deceit, slander, hatred and revenge. (http://www.harvestusa.org/articles/lev18&20.htm). If we say that everything in Leviticus is obselete, then we're saying that God has changed his mind about all kinds of wrong-doing.
