It's directed at Christians, but only because the author of the website is ignorant on this issue (as are many Christians).  The New Testament expressly absolves Christians from all of these dietary laws, thus they aren't relevant to Christians.

Not only that but the absolution was only required for converts from Judaism - gentile Christians were never subject to those rules in the first place.  The only rules in the Torah for gentiles are not to eat the flesh of still living animal and not to commit murder.

I abide by Jewish law.

A "national police force" of "young out-of-work urban men"?  Holy shit, a Black FBI.  Now that's enough to put the fear of God in the average Conservative.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I find it too restrictive.
