Does God Hate Shrimp?
Yes. God hates shrimp.

www.godhatesshrimp.com


Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

3. I'm gonna go picket the Long John Silver's.



If God used the same word to describe shrimp as he did to describe homosexuality, well then, shrimp must be just as bad in God's eyes.

7. and how many of the fundies had shrimp today???????
All part of the "pick and choose" method of christian dogma. Use the parts you like, jettison the parts you don't. If it suits you purpose, embrace it. If not, just fugetaboudit.

Gawd supposedly also said pork was an abomination. I bet ol' Jerry Falwell had bacon this morning. He probably even had shrimp with lobster sauce. He is a bad, bad, evil man.

Also, according to leviticus, you aren't supposed to wear clothing of mixed fibers. Oh, oh, better call the religious fiber police.

8. God wasn't thinking of shrimp.
The Goddess was thinking of her sacred dolphin.

The only injunctions against eating have to do with sacred rituals, with taboos. You can't eat your totem animal.

11. Well, in addition...
some of the Kosher laws had to do with preventing cruelty to animals. Hence the edict that in order for its meat to be kosher, a cow must be killed in such a way as not to feel pain.
