The US is not a theocracy. Most countries, including the us, have public health policies in place that are geared to prevention of disease. I would like to see you elaborate on your initial post.

At least SOME of the animals God declared as unclean, and not good for food, are animals who's meat needs special preparation so we don't get sick. Pork is like that, and poultry has to be thoroughly cooked. I know there's more too, I just don't recall them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps AnchorRock is referring to the laws in Leviticus chapter 12-15, along with God's promise: And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I Am the LORD that healeth thee.
