Re: Also, Placebo
Ben, what's the point?
Re: Also, Placebo
The point? The point is to make you think, and to make me think. So far, all you have done is react.

Re: Also, Placebo
If I didn't think about it, I'd just follow it through to the conclusion you already had for it.
You still haven't answered the "is it moral?" question: something you've completely missed in your initial line of questioning, and as I've said, the only question that's really important.
Re: Also, Placebo
The edict against delicious, moist shellfish was originally a religious practice, but it arose out of purely secular necessity: your local priest was most likely the most educated person around, you saw him often, and he probably saw lots of people die after eating shellfish that had been left in the sun.
That's an example of a 'religious practice' that actually has nothing to do with religion. It's a smart thing to do in a hot country, whether or not God tells you so.
