War Lord said:I can only speak from a Christian viewpoint. The basic reason, backed up by science, that God gave us all those do's and don't's is that it helps the human race survive, thrive, and maximize their potential.
For example, although man was meant to be a vegetarian (this is shown in Genesis), after the fall, it wasn't possible. So God took the next best step and basically said, "If you're going to eat meat, here's the meat to eat." The animals that are listed as unclean tend to be either carnivores, scavangers or are naturally disease ridden.
What's ******ed is, in reality, someone found out these bits of good advise from personal knowledge or experience and not from God or some divine being, but instead of trying to enlighten others the normal way, they write down in a book that the grand creator, "God," told them and everyone should obey.
