Well, I for one wholeheartedly agree with you doc. I've always been of the opinion that kosher law (and other religious dietary laws) evolved out of public health issues in theocratic nations. Hell, it might have been an even nastier economic issue. People don't just outright refuse to eat something simply on a religious whim. They have a strong reason for making decisions like that. Maybe one summer the cows were dying off, but pig farmers were doing well, so everyone ate more pork and got GI problems. Suddenly the priests think that the community is being punished by god and that pigs are to blame. How do you get everyone to stop eating pork immediatly? Tell em God said so.
As for the wall, eh. I suppose it's easier to build a wall than to let go of your anger and have compassion for your brother.
