This is what always confused me when we studied the Bible at school, when
we got to all those long parts which are mainly lists of what you can and
can't do - eat animals with cloven hoofs, go to church while menstruating,
etc ... and I always thought `Well, if we're allowed to ignore all that
stuff, who chooses what stuff we *do* have to follow??? It was all very
confusing for a 12 year old (:
