Oh so believers are protected from germs? He created germs according to your book and they fuck xtians as much as atheists ..... and your God decided to warn against pig meat rather than tell people to wash their hands, boil the water and properly cook meat, etc?
Hey, stupid...
You are wandering off subject to try and make your point.
The question was asked of OT jews. NOT Christians. As the dietary restrictions applied to OT Jews and not Christians.
So, Yes back then OT Jews were not subject to the swine and other blood born disease or bacteria as their was a prohibition on consuming both. In an age without refrigeration, in a hot desert climate, where people did not know to they had to cook their food thoroughly to ensure transmission of disease. Yes followers of the OT dietary law were indeed subject to less 'sickness' than those who did not.
