: : Take for instance the concept of not eating meat on fridays...it's not because it's "unholy" as the bible would have you believe. It was because in that day & age, plague & disease was running rampant in those parts of the world(which we still see in this day & age) so not eating meat was only to control their death total...
: No it was tradition and a sacrifice. You are confusing this and muslims NEVER eating pork
It's also true regarding the jewish, because of trade, etc...
