Deuteronomy 12:15-16
However, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, as much as you desire, according to the blessing of the LORD your God that he has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the deer. Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.
Discuss.
Does the EPA know you are going to be dumping animal waste on the ground? Hopefully they will get around to investigating this and issuing a fine, or better yet a prison sentence.
Puddy ..
Lets join forces and boycott the meat packers who violate this rule of God!
yes, environmental regulations are stupid, we ought to have a free market in environmental waste, like somalia, or china. or bolivia under their various right wing governments. That’s the path to freedom.
Lookit the dumbass germans, they just banned nuclear power. how stupid can you get. no wonder those nations that have a strong green party like germany and sweden are such hellholes of economic waste and joblessness and a declining middle class ….no the way forward is clearly low gummint nirvanas like somalia or your average third world nation under a right wing free market dictator. chile under pinochet, that’s the ideal!
It is YOUR world to do with as you want. I am immortal, eternal and exist.
If you are no more, if the Earth is no more,
I am that I am.
Yes, you have to bleed a slaughtered animal otherwise the blood coagulates and the meat is not very palatable.
@3 “low gummint nirvanas like somalia or your average third world nation under a right wing free market dictator”
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the United States in this category.
At least in Somalia they have U.N. food relief. If Republicans get their way Ethiopians will be better-fed than millions of Americans.
Cut billions from food stamps but not a penny less for defense!!!
I just wonder what’s going to be left to defend.
@ 9 Bank accounts and stock portfolios.
Will somebody please think of the Vampires!?
SJ @ 2 indirectly pointed-out a major thread among the Abrahamic religions: they all think that God is talking directly to them on some sort of discrete level. That is, every religious Abrahamic zealot believes he or she has the direct word of God and that those words are sacrosanct and should be followed to the letter. Punishment for non-compliance??
The “Wrath of God”, of course! Just look at how things like the Plague were blamed on the Wrath of God shit. Comical!
@ 12
Actually, the French and the British mostly blamed the Jews, and took rather extreme countermeasures. Thats one of the reasons there were so many Jews in Poland in WW2. That’s where they ended up after being hounded out of their homes in France, England and Germany during the 15th and 16th century plagues and inquisitions.
The blood is the lifeforce of the body.
@14 “who elected an underexperienced man to the presidency weighed down by an oversized ego”
My understanding is McCain lost.
I agree with this rule. Blood is icky. Don’t eat it.
I think what God was trying to say with this is that it’s finally grilling weather!
@ 17
Amen to that.
Think Obama’s approval rating is bad? According to a Newsweek poll, God’s approval rating has dropped to 33%.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: I suspect what’s going on here is a lot of people are praying for money — especially those attending “prosperity churches” — and not getting what they hoped for.
@ 19
Pray in one hand, and shit in the other, and you’ll see which one is fulfilled.
What, no blood pudding? Bloodwurst? Veriohukainen? Coq au vin sometimes uses (used really) chickens blood as a thickener for the sauce.
Our biblical literalists really bailed out tonight. I just don’t get it. Could not one of them explain why they like their steak rare and reconcile their meat preference with this verse from Deuteronomy? C’mon, Pud.
Following God’s slaughtering rules has resulted in some very tasy hotdogs and lunch meats.
@23,
Yep, Hebrew National hot-dogs are the best!
