US website ‘God Hates Shrimp’ challenges Christians who quote the Bible to justify their homophobia to consider all the other things the Bible says we ought to abominate, including shrimps. Leviticus 11: 9–12 is quite clear about this.

Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God’s law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye’s shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

My thanks to the secular Humanist monthly magazine The Freethinker for bringing this to my attention. I love shrimps. Yet another reason to be a heathen.

Long John Silver’s, Red Lobster and Popeye’s are all US seafood restaurants. Christians ought to boycott them, if they take the Bible literally.
