Who is eating blood?

Why does it seem as though your responses lately are purely nonsensical?

Maybe because you're a white man trying to push your views of normality upon others.

People eat blood. I just don't because of the ban on eating blood in the Book of Acts.

How is my not understanding the concept of eating blood a normality of white man status?

Because I don't see white men in America comfortable with the concept of eating blood nor have any conception that there are others that actually do so per a normal diet. It's not something that really migrated from the Old World.

So it is not evident in white men writing vampire novels?

Actually, you called me "religious", which is incorrect. Yet you're unable to say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong about you". You got caught out making an assumption, and you don't have the spine to admit error. 
Maybe one day you'll be able to see past your own filters ... but life is short, so I won't waste any more time replying to just another Internet jackoff.

... or, it would be to judge all Americans by one's own limited experience, which, oddly enough, is exactly what you did.

Perhaps you should think more and post less?  Just a little friendly advice.

Perhaps you should take your own advice, Dixie.

I've spent 28 years dealing with Americans. I would not call that limited experience. I have probably spent more time in the South than you have spent out of it.

I tend to notice that religious folk tend to make a lot of noise about how many years experience they've had 'doing stuff' like it's important. Suppose it harks back to the crazy culture of submitting to an 'elders' knowledge. As soon as someone says they have 20 years experience, I immediately get cautious of whatever they are about to say next I'm afraid.

Non religious don't get so easily caught in the trap of thinking that years of experience equates to superior knowledge so don't go throwing such quotes around. Someone half my age can just as well have a much better proposal for a solution than me.

Ah, so the very devout farmers in my country, producing and eating (very tasty) blood sausages are suddenly atheists because they don't subscribe to one chapter of that stupid book.

Get real, man. Do you follow script and verse of everything written in there? I mean, how about not shaving, not cutting your hair and not wearing cloth of two different fabrics?

But you mention having atheist friends in real life. I don't have a problem either way and I don't care if you keep your religious beliefs if they make sense to you. You're the judge of that. Is that true for you and your atheist friends? Do you and they accept each other on your own terms, or do you hold out hope of conversion?

I do not believe I have ever tried to convert anyone. It's not my job. They accept that I can't eat blood and I don't judge them for eating it.

I infer that you wish not to be forthcoming or self reflective in regard to my questions.  You don't owe me that but you have just pushed away my attempt to connect.  Your call.  But I won'd pretend that I have any idea what the blood eating is about.  Nor do I care.  I'll leave you to your weirdness.
