Leviticus 3:17
So you and your descendants must never eat any fat or any blood, not even in the privacy of your own homes. This law will never change.
Discuss.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Then what am I supposed to do with this fatted calf?
If the proscription against mixing blood and milk means there can be no cheeseburgers, then clearly, teh BAYYYYBUL sez there shalt be no McDonald’s!!
By the same logic, there really can be no meat eating at all, because there will always be some blood and fat in any preparation of meat.
Well, you Abrahamists are shit out of luck, and more coppa for us atheists. Oh, wait, that’s pork anyway.
I think whoever wrote the Bible, their spouse must have run off with a charcuterist.
mmmmmm, pate….
Ever wonder if any of these prohibitions were the result of some mother forcing her son to eat something, then when he got to be the high priest, he was finally in a position to do something about it?
Like oysters. He hated oysters because that was all they had to eat as a kid, so he gets to be high priest and all fish without scales are out.
Read all of Chapter 3 HA libtard Bible haters!
@4
I did. What’s your point?
Meat contains blood and fat, inseparably. Ergo, you must be a vegetarian. Are you?

Roger Rabbit Commentary: They assured us an armed society would be a polite society. That’s a lie.
I read the whole of chapter 3. It didn’t mitigate the rule that Fat belongs to the lord.
I’ll grant you that some blood and fat will be left in meat, but any fat or blood that could be cut off or drained out by a primitive society is Gods.
and just so we are clear
Sorry puddy, no more fatty steaks or blood sausages. Unless you pick and choose what part of the bible you follow.
@6 no amount of facts will change a 2nd amemder’s minds. It will never be a trend, i’ts an endless sea of individuals acting stupid. Just like for a right winger, there is no climate change, just a statistical blip of every increasing temperatures and bad weather and crop failures.
Our daughter lived for a couple years in an apartment at Pico & Robertson in Los Angeles, which is in an interesting neighborhood populated mostly by a mixture of “Persian” Jews and Muslims who essentially became exiles in the US when the imams took over Iran. (Believe it or not, they all get along quite well.) Anyway, there’s a restaurant near there named “Milk and Honey” whose specialty is strict-Kosher Italian. Largely vegetarian (spaghetti and meatballs with grated parmesan? No way) but there are a few fish entrees. All of it delicious.
@3 Evidently back then Al Goldstein wasn’t around to explain that “the way to treat an oyster is to pretend it’s a girl.”
@10
I don’t get it. You pry an oyster open with a special knife and if you are lucky, you don’t stab yourself while you are doing it. Maybe he means you are supposed to apply copious amounts of alcohol in hopes that she will open up. I don’t know. I never tried to open an oyster with margaritas before, but hey, it beats getting stabbed in the hand.
Leviticus is a strange text.
@11 A copious amount of alcohol cures almost everything, or at least takes the edge off it.
@12 You’re a strange man.
From14,
You, also.
Since Leviticus was written for those who CHOSE to be Jews, the relevance to non Jews is … to be frank .. silly.
As for Puddy, and others who think they are pleasing me by following laws written for and by Jews ……. give Me a break!
If you need laws for non Jews, just ask!
Here is one .. shun the words of those who demean Me by denying My truths as revealed through science. These deniers shall be a called blasphemers and shunned by all who would follow My word.
Mumpsimus!
