Can you think of a creature that flies and has only four legs?
Neither can I. Maybe the
flying squirrel, but
it doesn't actually fly? If you ever run across one, though, don't eat it.
Flying creatures with four feet make the list of Biblical abominations.
Along with aquatic life without fins or scales, blemished sacrificial
animals, artwork made of silver or gold, prostitutes and dogs procured in
church, the thoughts of fools, lying lips, tilted scales, sleeping with your
wife's mother, and of course, homosexuals. Especially the
effeminate kind. You'll find most of these and more listed in
Deuteronomy and
Leviticus.
Despite their prophetic scope, none of the
scriptures of our major religions warns us about many of the abominations we
encounter today. So I suppose it's incumbent upon us to identify and warn each other
about modern abominations.
I'll start with those that have come to my
attention and hope you will make me aware of those I've missed.
Wherever possible, I'll link each item to other pages and
reader comments
that expand upon that abomination.
