And he came to earth in this function to lay down the rules that would be binding for us until Judgment day, right? And in doing so, you seriously try to tell us that he had to pander to the middle eastern business people and slave owners of his day, and the best he, the great divine socialist revolutionary who kicked the money changers out of the temple and proceeded to die for the cause, the best he could do was to ask the powers that be to maybe beat the slaves a bit less?
That's so pathetic it's not even funny.
And he apparently had no problem going and telling people to follow such idiotic rules as "Don't work on this particular day" and "Don't eat shellfish" and getting them to listen to him, but this one rule that would actually help people, then suddenly he's all shy and doesn't want to bother people?
He did not tell people to follow those rules. On the contrary, he did something unlawful on sabbath and we can eat anything we want.
The only rules he gave were about loving humans and god

As a vegetarian atheist, I'm not 100% sure what to take away from it, tho. Maybe I'll sacrifice some fair trade tofu on the altar of good conscience.
And do you think jesus was a monster for having a passover feast with goat?
