I must admit that I was initially triggered by this (along with the ensuing outrage).
We do have to stop and consider that in celebrating the birth of the Baby Jesus we have to give thanks to Him for overturning Leviticus and the jew dietary laws and permitting the consumption of pork and bacon (although I sometimes wonder just how much pork is really in those British bangers - mostly filler if you ask me).
If a few mooselimbs happen to be offended along the way I wouldn't complain.
Quote:
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
- Mark 7:17-23
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
- Galatians 3:24
