I agree, although our current problem is less about food-hygiene than it is about forgetting to lock the door to your laboratory when you are engaged in weaponising bat coronaviruses for the Chinese government.

Indeed not. The rock badger isn't a badger and doesn't chew the cud.
Apparently it spends a lot of time waggling its bottom jaw - which lead to the cud-chewing misconception. In fact, it's just that its dentures don't fit well.

Dassies are also great sport, it you have a couple of mates, a coolbox full of chilled lemonades, and a brace of semi-autos.
It's a bit like playing whack-a-mole...

For my audible book this month I downloaded Johnny Cash reading the whole of the New Testament. It has been one of the most enjoyable and profitable ways to spend an hour in these otherwise tedious days. I would recommend a listen to everyone. "Religion" has turned many people off faith.
Before I get shot down just perhaps even consider a look into the Gospels, no matter what perspective you view it from.
Another book I enjoy is Soul Fuel by Bear Grylls.
Faith in Christ is the backbone of my life and indeed is the thing in my life that brings the most full and lasting joy. Christ is the one thing I would not live without.
I only share this as many others in this thread have shared their views. I certainly would never want to force anyone into anything. I feel that mutual respect is key in these issues and on this forum on a wide array of topics it is fantastic to have a community where people are generally respectful and open minded.

Although we're totally opposite in our religious beliefs I both agree with and applaud you on the above
I personally don't care what anyone believes in as long as they don't try to push that belief onto others.

I would like to meet him, if I did, I would ask him what he wants from me.
I am not a believer, even tho my parents would turn in their graves if they heard me say that, but what I do believe in is, that if you treat others as you would like to be treated and go out of your way to help others without expecting a reward, you will have a good life, up until recently I have.
I've tried that and it only works when other people are of the same view. A lot don't give a f**k and they see you as a mug and take the pi$s.
When people do that to me I won't turn the other cheek, it's an eye for an eye. And so it goes on.

Yes, there has been times like that with me but then if they treat me like that then perhaps they are of the same idea as myself, 'treat others as you would like to be treated' so I treat them twice as hard to make sure I give them good value

I cant remember when I read it or more likely who it was read to me but, like you, I operate by those principles - always have.

Another mans view and it is not necessarily mine.
I managed an Angus cattle property for seven years for one of Aus`s guru surgeons and one arvo having a cuppa I asked him his thoughts on my old deer stalking mate that had recently had a kidney removed due to cancer and then a few months later a shilling sized lump of the same that had metastasized in his brain.
He looked at me and said "you really want to know the truth,he`s ****ed"
He then said "there is no god,after seeing the things that I have seen that come into hospitals that I have to attempt to repair,innocent little children with limbs torn off and all sorts of horrible things,well imo there simply isnt"
Thats his view and it put another perspective on it for me.

JG's surgeon's view is interesting. I guess some surgeons are religious and some not - and this one clearly isn't. Others faced with the same circumstances come to quite the opposite conclusion.
As an aside:
Q: What's the difference between God and a consultant surgeon
A: God knows he's not a consultant surgeon.
Because is isn't. It just isn't.
You are lucky to have faith - it must be a source of comfort. Well done for speaking up.

watched a series on netflix called ancient aliens, the theory was all religons started off worshiping aliens and built stories around it, angels are a main example if this. i found it just as believable as a guy getting better after being stabed and nailed
Well written Hugh but would suggest you have no faith.
Surprising looking at your Avatar.

If there is a god ,he must have a warped sense of humour at the moment .
I prefer to trust myself not some third party .

I always find the subject of Religion fascinating on here, really a subject not to be discussed on a Sporting forum and for an individual's own choice.
What I cannot understand is that although one or two have obviously a Faith there are so many willing to denigrate that and to vilify and be vitriolic for no apparent reason.
As a Lay Minister I obviously have a very strong Faith and am quite willing to discuss it with anyone who shows an interest and on a person to person basis.
I just feel so sorry that the original OP was just pointing out parts of the Bible referring to what to eat or not to eat which led straight away to a coarse and unwarranted criticism of any belief in a Faith.

Indeed, always amazes me the strength of feeling against religion. Fair enough if you don’t believe but why criticise others choices?
Kind of reminds me of the way militant vegans behave
