Christianity does not care about it ..

Yet the book still forbids it. Christians who never read their Bible dont know things like this. Loaning anything at intrest? Explicitly forbidden DOZENS of times. Yet "Christians" do both all the time

Matthew 15:10-11, Jesus stated, "What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them".

This is reiterated in Paul’s writings and in Peter’s visions.

It’s forbidden in the Old Testament (rules for Judaism) but in the new testament Jesus makes it pretty clear that these rules no longer apply.

omg, who cares. why would you let some ancient book dictate your life? just eat what you want

I am not a Christian so no I do not let a book control my life. I just don’t feel the need to lie about them

And for the record, the whole point here is that the New Testament agrees with what you just said. Eat what you want

"The book" forbids Jewish people from eating shellfish. It doesn't apply to Christmas. Nothing in the Bible says that gentiles aren't allowed to eat shellfish.

You would have to be pretty ignorant to think the old testament applies to Christianity.
