“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.“

Oddly, that reminds me of a Shmuley Boteach article on homosexuality. In it, he points out that shellfish, too, are called “an abomination,” and that homosexuals should be treated no different in the orthodox community as, say, liars or those who occasionally eat treif. That is, while he would not condone homosexual behavior, focusing on it as a do-or-die mitzvah is wrong and hurts homosexual Jews.

Actually, Babylonian, I was referring to a similar, earlier article.
