It was easy tonight. I got the Thursday night seniors special

Pork has a relatively mild flavor.|e-a It's often used as an
inexpensive substitute for veal.

A Jewish friend of mine was going through a horrible divorce
and was strapped for cash. So she fed her kids pork, telling
them that it was veal.

It's interesting that people who are religious enough to abide by
kosher food rules think they can fool god.

She didn't keep kosher but was afraid of what her ex would do.

god doesn't give a shit anyway.

He made so many Levitical laws for His people though...

Yes. But other religions have even more complicated legal systems. The structure was provided by their priests and rulers.

It's what happens when a religion gains traction and is able to control
the common people.

If you were born in a different location, you may well have been a
devout hindu, muslim ... the list is endless.

You found your infallible god because someone TAUGHT you about him and
how wonderful he is. You don't have any first hand experience with the
magic deity.

Hopefully shellfish are less of a thing...

And if native American - the Great Spirit.
In fact even the Hopi creation tales read in lockstep with Biblical
accounts of the great flood and subsequent resurrection of man.
5th world awaits.

I find Him in nature everyday, and no one had to teach me that.

with the magic deity.

I exist as a minor node to His reality, a temporal blip of
re-transmitted data and life energy returning to source, as will we all.
