This exact question is why I added the line: “If you can read and claim that the above doesn’t prohibit it, then you’re arguing in bad faith.” I didn’t commit to citing it specifically, though, because I secretly hoped Lemmy could restrain itself.
Because yes, this obviously prohibits dead animals too. It says “animals”. You may as well be asking “well does it prohibit green animals?” Even if you take the Leviticus passages about the animal being put to death and warp it in wildly bad faith in order to assume that means the animal must be living, the Exodus passage spoken by Moses and the Deuteronomy one just say that lying with an animal is cursed/to be punished by death.
But it’s it still lying with an animal if it’s dead?
More importantly, are we saying everything in Leviticus is immortal/unethical, including those you cite at the end? Because most Christians don’t.
