A silly article -- it hinges on one social scientist who "theorizes."
No proof or evidence, just a sensationalist approach. Another "expert" in the same article opined that the laws were for everyone and yet that didn't make the headline. Go figure.
I'm a Kohen (or so I've been told; I haven't had the genetic testing done, so I don't know for sure), so I guess I'd still be out of luck.
But we never kept kosher, anyway. Some of my great-grandparents' generation halfheartedly continued to observe select dietary taboos. One great-grandmother wouldn't keep bacon in the house, so she would walk across the street to another great-grandmother's whenever she had the craving. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
Then that great-grandmother made a deal with God: she pledged to give up bacon for life if my great-uncle wasn't drafted into Vietnam. It turned out that he had the same congenital cataracts that she did, so sure enough, he was spared from shipping out to French Indochina, and Nanny kissed pork belly goodbye.
i'd like to hear the opening post person's view on the topic he has presented.
Pruz, do you eat pork? why or why not?
Why do you consistently attack people instead of discussing the topic at hand? I've posted a thread related to to Leviticus that was printed in a Jewish Israeli website. Discuss it or walk away from it. Read the TOS, discuss the topic not the person who posted it.

Asking you to comment on your own topic....
Which you decline to do.
You are referencing evangelical bible scholars and the old testament on the Judaism forum. But then.....you knew that.
