max-greece has already nailed down all the pathetic question-dodging that Drich engages in, so I won't bother with a line-by-line deconstruction.
Just a comment on one response. #7 Drich demonstrates that he knows bugger-all about the Old Testament dietary laws and microbiology.
The laws in fact declare unclean some grass-eating animals, like the rabbit mentioned right there in the question and also the camel.
In fact, Drich cannot read. The basis for declaring an animal unclean is clearly stated when you put together the prohibition against pig (And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you) and rabbit (And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you).
The ancient Israelites were herders of sheep, goats and cattle. A species is judged clean only if it displays two of the most obvious characteristics of their herd animals: eating grass and having a cloven hoof.
Fundamentalists used to claim, maybe still do, that pork was prohibited because it could carry trichinosis, though that could easily have been dealt with by a command to cook all meat thoroughly. It is truer than Drich's claim that pork spoils faster than beef or mutton but it's still bullshit. Needless, to say the Bible says nothing about prohibiting these "unclean" meats for health reasons, and the prohibition was lifted in the New Testament when there was no improvement in food preparation hygiene. The distinction between clean and unclean was purely ritualistic with no health benefits.

What are you talking about? Apple computers never crash, never get viruses, have free, open source software, are made of solid gold and give excellent blow jobs.

Why would I want you to respond? I've already seen how low you will stoop. I just wasn't going to let your gross misrepresentation stand.

Defending a piece of shit doesn't mean it loses its shit status. Great job accomplishing nothing, Drich. I'm inclined to think that you're just bad at taking tests; whether or not you agree or disagree with the questions/answers, you still failed.
