TomServo: Not really a legitimate comparison. The rules of Kashrut only apply to Jews, so we don’t expect anyone else to abide by them. According to Jewish law, it’s fine and dandy for a Christian to eat lobster. And, given that Jews don’t proselytize, even an ultra-orthodox Jew would never try to convince a Christian to put down the shrimp cocktail and convert.

pkmntrainer: No, it’s fine for you to eat shellfish as long as you’re not Jewish. In fact, only the really basic moral laws (read: don’t murder anyone) apply to non-Jews. That means, according to Jewish tradition, that if you’re a non-Jew and a decent human being, you’re set for the afterlife.
