You ask many conservative Christians why god forbade the eating of shrimp (Leviticus 11:9-12) and they will tell you that god was protecting the health of the tribes of Israel.

But鈥f god was concerned about human suffering and health one would think that it (god) would have mentioned to wash ones hands prior to aiding in the delivery of a child. This one simple commandment would have saved the suffering and death of huge number of women and infants. However the forbidding of eating shrimp, in all likelihood, saved a trivial number of lives since many cultures have consumed shrimp and shell fish for millennia with little affect on their health and welfare.

Yet, we have 45 verses in Leviticus 13 about skin spots. Supposedly this is about Leprosy however god once again fails and does not accurately diagnose the disease Leprosy. It seems like god wasn鈥檛 much more advanced than a bunch of bronze aged sheep herders. Isn鈥檛 it (god) supposed to be omniscient?

Seems a tad odd to me.

Isn鈥檛 it odd god forbade eating of shrimp while washing ones hands before birthing a child is not mentioned?

Grim, I like your style!

Why isn't the 11th commandment "Thou shalt washeth thine hands and be thou clean before ushering thy babe from the womb"?

And it doesn't mention Proactiv either. A glaring omission, if you ask me. :-)
