Nobody told me they weren't kosher!

I didnt read that until you posted it. I basically just checked the foreword. Being an atheist myself I am not that convinced a God exists. Even if he does I am sure he has reasons for his commandments better than "Because I say so". Otherwise, he is little more than a bully. So I basically wanted to know why there was such a thing as kosher food. If it has to do with a healthier diet it is something I can understand. If it doesnt have anything to do with that, well, then it doesnt make much sense to me : )

Gods and rules... It has a reason, why the priests of Torm call me heretic

Once again, I refer you to the section "Rationale of the Dietary Laws".

Hmm, OK, now I think I understand some of it and SOME of it actually makes sense to me. Thanks for linking the info, Avon.

So maybe that's why people say "God bless you" when you sneeze, were they afraid you'd lose your soul?
