In the original Hebrew text, the word is Murder, i.e., an unjustified "taking" of a human being's life without cause; not the "slaughter" of an animal, which, ever since the eviction notice was "stapled" to the Gates of Eden by a flaming sword, has actually been allowed, for sacrifice to God (and God alone), and for human consumption.<br><br>Why? Beause we had already lost the "innocence" of our race, and, bottom line, because God already knew we would quickly discover that: It tastes really really good!!! Stick with the fish, slim-bo, then...<br><br>Forget everything I just said about actually eating the meat of anything. I had forgotten that, with the exception of the so-called Third World, our meat supply is SO corrupted with growth-inducing-hormones, avian flu, mad cow disease, genetic-engineered-critters etc., that, even as a Christian, TODAY, I cannot in good conscience, advise any inhabitant of the "West" to eat any commercially-prepared meat.<br><br>Thank the Lord for beer!!!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
