This is a genuine question, because one of the reasons I left Christianity (I was raised Christian) was that I didn’t like how they hate gay people, are pro-life, etc., and overall are pretty hypocritical. But as I got older, I realized there are Catholics who are pro-choice, aren’t homophobic, and don’t have an issue with having sex before marriage, etc., and basically are not stereotypical religious people at all. But I have to ask—how do they justify this? I mean, it must be very confusing, because if the Bible does say being gay is a sin and you are not homophobic and are pro-LGBTQ+, then you are basically saying sinning is okay, which goes against their very religion. How about Catholics who swear? Basically, how do liberal Christians/Catholics justify their religion? Why be religious if you aren’t going to go all in?

    Armadillos and Raccoons are native to the Americas There are a few more that seem ahistorical (Penguin, Opossum, Zebra, Panther, Wallaby). Perhaps this list is from a modern source?

    Very interesting. It would maybe be quicker to list the animals that are kosher

          Kosher requires some other things that you don’t need to do. This is Kashrut, not Kosher.

          But yes, that’s exactly the list of foods that are good under Kashrut (food in Hebrew).
