Leviticus 3:9
9 Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as an offering made by fire to the LORD, its fat and the whole fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone. And the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,
10 0the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;
12 And if his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.
13 shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.
14 Then he shall offer from it his offering, as an offering made by fire to the LORD. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,
15 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;
"G'day God, it's the Aussie atheiset here again, may I ask a question?"
"I've never stopped you before," boomed THE LORD.
"Ta. I was simply wondering why the fatty lobe above the liver has to be removed when you want a blood sacrifice."
"Why don't you read the entire set of instructions, instead of just skimming? If you read Chapter 3 verse 16, you will note that I say that all the fat is the LORDs."
"But what do you want it for? What about cholesterol?"
"Oh I don't use it. I send it down to Lucifer. He uses it in the furnaces and for feeding the hordes. It works quite well burning fat, but it is a little smoky."
"OK, I've read it all now. But your next verse says that 'This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat netiher fat nor blood.' So does this mean anyone eating at McDonalds is a sinner?"
"I think it is pretty clear, don't you. It is written in MY BOOK. I WROTE IT. Therefore it is the LAW. Those who eat fat and blood break MY LAW and are therefore sinners," spake the LORD.
"And so anyone who eats at McDonalds or Hungry Jacks is a sinner?"
"Yep. Apparently my words are to be interpreted literally and therefore if those burgers contain fat or blood, then to eat them makes you a sinner. AND YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!"
"Thanks for the chat. I'll catch you later."
So my question to Darfius, Blindfaith101 and djBecker et al is "Do you eat Burgers? And if so, aren't you breaking God's law?"
