Seventh Day Adventists agree with you.

Maybe so, but the religious rules were made before there was any scientific evidence and religion isn't based on scientific evidence. If it were, there would be no religious beliefs.
it was based on observation, practicality and trial and error.

Because religions are about controlling or modifying behaviors for the good of society or the subset of society that follows that religion. Food restrictions in many religions were about food safety not supernatural respect for animals. Think of it as ancient code enforcement regulations. If a religion emerged today it would require outlets be placed every 6 feet apart and building set backs.

I don't eat meat and don't care much about animals. I just don't want to eat them.

Is there some significance behind different religions having different food related restrictions?

Same goes for alcohol consumption.


e.g., some Christian religions can drink a lot of alcohol, whereas Mormons can't drink at all. I think it. has to do with when the religion was formed. In olden days, there wasn't anything to drink except something with alcohol in it (ergo it was clean). But later, when Mormonism and 7th day adventism were formed, we had better sanitation. I think some newer branches of Protestantism also don't allow drinking alcohol, because of how silly some people get when drinking.

Also, Orthodox Jews today can't eat Pork -- It's considered to be unclean. I think because it was dangerous to eat it many years ago. Now it's OK, but the rule remains.


As I remember, Jesus turned water into wine, so wine was definitely OK in those days

Is it because of regional needs because different religions originated in different regions and needs were different?

Why judiasim and Islam find eating pork harmful but Christianity doesn't? I guess Hinduism does by not promoting any meat?

Why hinduism has so much respect for some animals but no other religion does while most religions have a lot in common.
