How does one distinguish between cultural specific taboos and transcendent moral laws?
cultural specific taboos like eating beef / pork are related to medical/ cultural needs interwoven with the religion– as that was the only method available to the gurus of the yore to keep their rather uneducated masses from diseases the pork carries- and to build on the milch head– as in India. Transcendent moral laws– as in against cheating, theft, burglary, adultery et al were created by the gurus in order to create a social order.
