Comment A hamburger on Friday (Score 1) 930

There is absolutely no prohibition against eating meat on Fridays or any other day of the week in Leviticus, or in any other part of the Old Testament. I believe it is a Catholic practice, but it did not originate in the Jewish tradition.

And for the record, the punishments recorded in the bible for "shaving your beard" and "blending fabrics" is not death at all.

I'll just add that from the Jewish tradition, the prohibitions on these activities are much more detailed and complex than the simple translations here imply. Many ways of shaving one's beard are acceptable, and blending most any combination of fabrics is perfectly permissible; it is only the specific cases (detailed elsewhere) that are circumscribed.

And for the astute Slashdot crowd, no, there is no prohibition on women shaving their faces. ;-)
