Leviticus says homosexuality is a sin. It says eating shrimp is a sin. Can we agree this is messed up logic?

9 ‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat. 10 But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. 11 They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination. 12 Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you.

Leviticus 11:9-12 (New King James Version)

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Leviticus 18:22 (New King James Version)

Please tell me its not just me that thinks this is an error, gay sex is just as wrong is eating shrimp? This is balogna logic isn’t it?

Don’t have gay sex or go to hell, don’t eat shrimp or go to hell. This isn’t the words of God is it? Where is your brain please use it

How should I deal with an adopted 10 gallon fish tank (1 Tiger Barb, 1 CAE)?

Posted on September 17, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I’ve adopted two fish in a 10 gallon. They are “what’s left” of a family member’s community tank they no longer want. I have been reading up about Tiger Barbs and CAE, and it sounds as though neither should be in a 10 gallon. I just bought a 20 gallon (for my weather loach, black moore and reg fantail that I love), so I can’t afford the money/space for a bigger tank at the moment. The two of them seem to get along ok – the odd scuffle where one bugs the other or vice versa (seems pretty even between the two in the bugging). What can I do to keep them happy? I wanted more Tiger Barbs, but I’m worried they won’t have enough space and they’ll kill each other and the CAE eventually… I’ve heard of some people putting Guppies (which I’ve always wanted) in with Tiger Barbs and the Barb keeps the fry numbers down, but I’m worried he’ll nip their fins to stubs. Would putting something completely different in there work (shrimp, aquatic frog, freshwater crab, etc?). Oh, forgot to mention, I have thought of taking them to the lfs and trading them in, but I think my family member who gave them to me might be offended, so it’s not my first choice by any means. Thanks in advance!
I am already aware my goldfish will eventually need a bigger tank.

Also, I have read up about both the Tiger and the CAE, so I didn’t need any more basic info on them, I am asking for any creative ideas people had to avoid having to take them back. Thanks

Anyone have help on setting up a fish tank ?

Posted on July 3, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I have a 10 gal tank and I was thinking of putting 3-4 neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and 1-3 vampire shrimp or yellow or purple banded shrimp if they are freshwater.And I’m going to ask if they store has bristlenose plecos and clams. I’m also looking for a betta but its fins might get ripped .So I know I’m getting 3 or more neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and some kind of shrimp from the store but I’m not sure if I should do that, what do you think?

Why isn’t the “Moral Majority” shutting down sushi bars or seafood restaurants?

Posted on May 16, 2010 by admin| 12 Comments

Gay marriage is a HUGE issue for conservatives in this country, citing the bible as a refrence, in which it states “[Homosexuality] is detestable” (Leviticus 18:22). BUT my question is, in the very same book of the bible, God refers to something else as being “destestable”: “Anything living in the water that does not have fins or scales is to be detestable to you” (Leviticus 11:12).
So one could argue, that in GOD’s eyes, enjoying Unagi (freshwater eel) or octopus or shrimp, crab, lobster, is commiting the same “level” sin as a practicing homosexual.

alright i know the argument that no one is trying to stop homosexuals from having sex, just stopping legal recognition of the relationship, But my question then would be, How did sushi bars or seafood restaurants get health department approval, legal regodnition of their businesses.

on a side note I am a Christian, Often my arguement to these people is, STOP citing the bible as your purpose to “destroy the unnatural” because in
reality, why cant you just admit, that it is strange to you and you dont welcome it for it being different! because if you truley were a Christ Crusader, you would learn what i feel is the MOST IMPORTANT BIBLE VERSE EVER “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:1)

all bible quotes are from NIV version
