So Dick Santorum was eating a California Roll - doesn't that contain Crab Meat?

I mean this guy wants to run the country based on antiquated laws of Leviticus (even though Jesus never endorsed any of them outside of the 10 Commandments).

So if Homosexuality is a sin in Dick's world then so is eating fish without scales from the sea. (Leviticus 11: 9-12)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+11%3A9-12&version=KJV

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10And 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:

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

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.


So Dick, what's up with eating the crab? That's a sin you know.

What a *#%ing Hypocrite!

pretend Leviticus never existed while at the same time pretending that the "holy book" is a literal version of the words of the sky wizard. They tend to get a little defensive if you bring it up to them too.

Jesus in for good measure and then zoom right to Revelations.

Wasn't Jesus talking about a new Covenent?

And I bet he eats catfish too.
It's amazing how they pick and choose which rules they want everyone else to follow.

19 “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.


I'm wondering what those sweater vests are made of. They better be 100% of the same material else Dick is a SINNER!!!!!!

4. Isn't that punishable by stoning to death?

I don't think Leviticus offers any alternative punishment for "abomination" sins.

more civilized than stoning people, I think an alternative punishment should be handing out birth control to female soldiers, while making appts at planned parenthood. Just a thought.

which is made from pollock, most often, or a mixture of other miscellaneous fish. The Japanese term is surimi. The fish is ground up, then re-compounded in ways I don't wish to know, then extruded by a machine and otherwise processed to appear to be crab meat.

I cannot remember ever eating a California Roll that was made with real crab meat.

Now I'm off to clean my brain. Crabs in Santorum...ewwwwwwwwwweeeee
