ponderings about mainstream religions and dietary restrictions
why doesn't Christianity have any year-round dietary restrictions like the Jewish kosher and the Muslim halal? Christianity ostensibly originated from Judaism, but seems to have lost the memo on the whole can't-eat-pork thing, and then Islam found it again when it emerged from early Christianity? (yes there's more to it than just pork, i know)
(not Christian, repeating what we heard secondhand) re: ponderings about mainstream religions and dietary restrictions
@Felthry the story we heard is that there's a bit in the Bible where God offering someone treyf food is used as a metaphor for God telling them to accept gentiles into Christianity
and that is taken to mean some combination of "gentiles don't have to keep kosher and gentiles can be Christian" and "the kosher rules have been replaced by Jesus"
very not a Christian, probably have details very wrong, but that's the outline as far as we remember
