Catholics can eat alligator on Good Friday.

[Russell Holbeck]

Hello Landover Baptist Church.

My neighbor ran over an alligator when he was out at Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and it died. He put it in the trunk of his car and he showed it to me it is not very big only 6 feet long.

I asked him what he was going to do with it and he said he was going to eat it. I know that he is Catholic so I said you can not eat it today you are supposed to eat fish. He said an alligator is a fish he looked it up on the Google and an Archbishop said it is a fish.

An alligator is not a fish it is a reptile. This is an alligator:



He called someone at his church and they said it is still OK to eat because it is not considered meat because it is cold-blooded. I laughed at him and said of course it is meat because it is muscle and muscle turns in to meat when you cook it. I told him he needed a fish and showed him a picture of a fish:



He laughed at me and said that is a mammal but I did not see any breasts or hair on it so I think he was making fun of me he does that sometimes.

Thank you.

Rusty

P.S. I had two ribeyes and a Schlitz.

That sounds very tasty, Mr. Holbeck! I hope you enjoyed them. Your catholic friend is being duped. His own religious authority has declared the beaver to be a fish, so your friend can eat beaver-tail soup and not worry about being punished in purgatory for it. Of course you and I know that purgatory is just as silly an idea as a beaver being a fish, and it doesn't really exist. Not really, and any person who spends any time thinking about it clearly will come to that conclusion as well. I hope you enjoyed your dinner.

Isn't everything that lives in water fish? I mean, everyhing that flies, like crows, eagles, geese, bats etc are birds, so it would make sense if everything that lives in water is fish, wouldn't it?

How come gator guy didn't invite you over for some gator BBQ?

Re: Catholics can eat alligator on Good Friday.

I had a Hindu neighbor who said that he was able to eat fish and still be a vegetarian because Hindus think that fish are like bananas of the sea. I didn't really get that but I wasn't about to argue and risk not getting any fish tacos (his birthday was on May 5 so it was like a Hindu Mexican party).

Hello Landover Baptist Church.

Well why not, the Catholics make up everything else, I guess they get to reinvent what is a fish and what isn't.

I've never had alligator, but I've heard it's tasty. So I looked it up in some of my online recipe threads, and every one of them says to add so many pounds of alligator MEAT! If I look up a fish recipe it says add 2 pounds salmon, or trout but never uses the word meat.

He called someone at his church and they said it is still OK to eat because it is not considered meat because it is cold-blooded. I laughed at him and said of course it is meat because it is muscle and muscle turns in to meat when you cook it.

Well I'll slightly disagree with you on this. I think muscle is officially meat when it's butchered. After all, the venison in my freezer is still meat.

I told him he needed a fish and showed him a picture of a fish:

He laughed at me and said that is a mammal but I did not see any breasts or hair on it so I think he was making fun of me he does that sometimes.

Hmmmm........ interesting neighbor. Obviously confused on a lot of subjects. I hope he doesn't keep the rat poison in the pantry.

Vegetarians are weird. They'll eat fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, etc, etc, etc, but still look down their noses at you because you enjoy a good side of beef.

It's still irking me that I can't find that study they did in "Berkley" where 60% of the "vegetarians" had eaten beef in the last 48 hours.

. . . . I know that he is Catholic . . .

It appears to me, Mr. Holbeck, that you answered you own question. Catholics aren't real Christians. They are Pagans who have replaced the Reality Of Jesus Christ with man-made fables.

On Fridays they will eat alligator (and beaver and capybara) pretending it's fish, and on Sundays they will eat a cookie pretending it's the flesh of Our Savior Jesus Christ.

In fact, St. Paul specifically warned us that this Pagan cult would be yet another sign we are living in the end times:

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Hello Mary Etheldreda. I told my friend that I have a friend who said he could eat beaver on Good Friday and he laughed and laughed and said his wife would be happy to hear that. She is from Michigan.

Hello Ex-Viking. I agree with you but sometimes alligators live on the land so it is a gray area. Not the land but the discussion.

How come gator guy didn't invite you over for some gator BBQ?

Hello Nobar King. I do not know. He uses a gas grill.

I had a Hindu neighbor who said that he was able to eat fish and still be a vegetarian because Hindus think that fish are like bananas of the sea. I didn't really get that but I wasn't about to argue and risk not getting any fish tacos (his birthday was on May 5 so it was like a Hindu Mexican party).

Hello Palmer C. Eldrich. I have a Hindu neighbor who does eyebrow threading.

Well why not, the Catholics make up everything else, I guess they get to reinvent what is a fish and what isn't.

Hello BelieverInGod. I think you are right because I went to Publix yesterday and at the butcher it said MEAT on the sign and not MUSCLE.

Hello Pastor Rune Enoe. I will show your Bible quotes to my friend today. One of his children is a Catholic priest so it will be like killing two birds with one stone.

Thank you.

Re: Catholics can eat alligator on Good Friday.

Of course you can't eat alligators, Leviticus 11:10-11 shows clearly that anything that does not have both fins and scales is an abomination to you.

10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

And more than that, the Bible clearly tells us that any command to eat, drink, feast or rest is dead to Christ, as are you if you followed those commands. Only Jesus can command you to observe dietary restrictions.


Collosians 2:8,16-22

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

Re: Catholics can eat alligator on Good Friday.

I admit this is an interesting diversion here, but do we really care about the cathylicks other than to try and convert them to True Christian™ Baptists?

One thing that is clear is that alligators can eat cathylicks. I believe there is some historical precedent for this in the old Roman Colosseum - mostly as entertainment.

Maybe the vatican thinks this is a fin?
