This OP is NOT about whether Jesus allows his followers to eat pork or not. I assume that you don't think so. This post is about wagering on what you believe.

Let proposition P1 = Jesus does not allow his followers to eat pork today.
P2 = Jesus does allow his followers to eat pork today.

Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions? The stronger your belief in a proposition, the higher the weight.

Are you willing to wager based on your weighting scheme?

This is not a lotto/gambling bet. This is a wager to mathematically and scientifically measure the strength of your belief. Put money where your mouth is. If you are interested in finding out the strength of your belief mathematically, then tell me those two weights. See Subjective (Bayesian) Probability.

You can say you are 100% sure the earth is flat. Words are cheap unless you are willing to wager on it.

I'm not willing to wager at all. But I would say positively that under the New Covenant Jesus has no interest in prohibiting the eating of pork. Pig meat has a distinctive flavor--sometimes a little too strong for me. But it adds taste, assuming it is cooked well enough. ;)

I can't think of anything to eat that is less healthy than bacon or sausage. I've stopped eating it.

Why not add drinking and smoking or all the vices, it all leads to destruction of our bodies...
