• Podemos aprender a ignorar las tonterías de la Biblia sobre los homosexuales. De la misma manera que hemos aprendido a ignorar las gilipolleces de la Biblia sobre el marisco, sobre la esclavitud, sobre la cena, sobre la agricultura, sobre la menstruación, sobre la virginidad, sobre la masturbación.

• Al menos, cuando el emperador Justiniano, un dios del cielo, decidió prohibir la sodomía, tuvo que inventar una buena razón práctica, y así lo hizo. Es bien sabido, declaró Justiniano, que la sodomía es una de las principales causas de los terremotos, por lo que debe prohibirse. Pero nuestros dioses del cielo, siempre deseosos de odiar, siguen citando el Levítico, como si ese texto de locos tuviera algo útil que decir sobre algo excepto, quizás, la desaconsejabilidad de comer marisco en la zona de Jerusalén.

• I'm not a believer, I call myself an atheist. It was man who invented God. I once wrote that there are 15 things I know about God, and one is that he is allergic to shellfish. There are far too many commandments and you really only need one: Do not hurt anybody.

• ¿Qué pasajes de las Escrituras deben guiar nuestra política pública? ¿Deberíamos seguir el Levítico, que sugiere que la esclavitud está bien y que comer marisco es una abominación? ¿O podríamos decantarnos por el Deuteronomio, que sugiere lapidar a un hijo si se aparta de la fe?

• Tardé años en comer mucho marisco. Probablemente tenía 20 años antes de haber visto un cóctel de gambas. Me gustan las ostras, pero fritas.

• Siempre comparo a los jóvenes misioneros con los chavales que ingenuamente se alistaron para ir a Irak a luchar contra el terrorismo. No son más que soldados de infantería en la guerra espiritual que Mike Bickle y Lou Engle libran contra lo que consideran pecado. Dirán que es la verdad bíblica, pero la Biblia dice muchas cosas, y no ves a nadie diciendo que la esclavitud está bien o que no debemos comer mariscos. ¿Por qué la fascinación por el sexo?

• Very few species have survived unchanged. There's one called lingula, which is a little shellfish, a little brachiopod about the size of my fingernail, that has survived for 500 million years, but it's survived by being unobtrusive and doing nothing, and you can't accuse human beings of that.

• I can't grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Don't bother with those long-handled grilling tongs normally found in the BBQ section of your home store. Get intimate with your grill and opt for the regular stainless steel tongs.

• I'm trying, now that I am in my dotage, to use a lot less sugar and my husband and I really try to keep close to a minimum of fat; chicken, fish, loads of salads and legumes. We both love all of those. To be honest, nothing that is in our diet is that original. We eat seafood but we do not eat shellfish. On the other hand, if my body says to me, "eat meat" I do. I listen to my body, I think that's important.

• La agricultura industrial es ahora responsable de más de la mitad de la contaminación del agua en Estados Unidos. Hace dos años, los brotes de Pfiesteria relacionados con los desechos de las fábricas industriales de pollos obligaron a cerrar dos importantes afluentes del Chesapeake y amenazaron la vital industria marisquera de Maryland. Tyson Foods ha contaminado la mitad de los arroyos del noroeste de Arkansas con tantas bacterias fecales que está prohibido bañarse. Los medicamentos y hormonas necesarios para mantener vivos y en crecimiento a los animales confinados se excretan principalmente con los desechos y saturan las vías fluviales locales.

• You have to be cautious of eating continuously the same thing. Beef comes to mind right away, and there's nothing wrong with beef, but you've got to do whatever you're doing in moderation. So try to break it up a little bit. Eat some fish or some shellfish at least a couple of times a week.
