Religion based on food..the ultimate Happy Meal.

I was trying to figure out today what religion I am most closely affiliated with. All this after recently noticing there's an Episcopal church not to far from me on a route I rarely take. I was baptized in that faith which is basically Methodist on steroids or a baptist not on steroids. Episcopalians are pretty close to catholics but the priest can marry and we have Pope envy. I even went to preschool at an Episcopal church in Louisiana where they taught you of all things french. I haven't been to Episcopal Sunday school in about 40 years but I can still sing Frère Jacques from memory. Which in a way proves the old adage from the nuns give me a child till he's 5 and he'll be ours for life...I guess some of us need to be worked on past 5 but hey at least they got me singing Frère Jacques. I also spent some time in the baptist faith in Gamboa Panama. I was in fact in several church plays and my mother was told I knew the bible stories so well I should be a preacher. Later my mother started dating the love of her life a Methodist minister who ran a larger church in Balboa Panama and that's where we stayed until we moved to Germany. I also spent summers in Louisiana around the southern baptist faith and to be quite frank that scared the hell out of me! Church for me was a place where I sat quietly in an itchy suit and didn't speak unless instructed to...the first time someone yelled amen and spoke in tongues was the exact moment I decided I was not a baptist particularly not a southern baptist. Through my life I've studied a little bit about a lot of religions Buddhist, Hindu, Judaism, Islam, and of course Christianity. I have taken little bits and pieces from what I liked about each one and used them in my day to day journey through life. I particularly like Buddhism with it's live and let live theories and karma but there is just way too much suffering involved on the path to enlightenment. I wasn't circumcised at birth and so Judaism is out. And I can't stand people telling me what to think and screaming at me so Christianity is out. But what it truly boils down to is what can I eat? Or rather what can't I eat if I choose a certain religion? I was born in the south and love all pork products....bye bye Judaism and Islam. Buddhist don't believe in killing things so that would make me a vegan...beautiful religion love the whole concept but I'm a carnivore at heart. Hinduism no beef hence Hinduism no Christoph. Christianity seems to allow for the most palatable dietary mish mash but I'm not sure that choosing a religion based on what you can or can't eat is the best way to proceed into the afterlife whatever it may be. I don't want G d asking me when I arrive at the "pearly gates" "How did you attain heaven my son?" and for me to answer "Well I like a good steak now and then and I enjoy bacon bits on my baked potato so I chose religion...." That's not how I think it works anyways. I believe in a benevolent and loving supreme being and I don't think that such a being would even care how one arrived at living a good life or enlightenment. I'm not even sure a benevolent being would like religion in fact I'm pretty sure a benevolent being would frown upon anything that limits ones thinking into the realm of the unknown or an after life or to attain enlightenment. Actually I guess anyway you choose a certain religion or choose not to participate in religion is fine for the individual. Just as long as we get where we need to be at the end.
