Dietary Laws

The same applies. Shiva and Kali aren't real. If someone tells you, "This food was offered to Shiva or Kali," you shouldn't eat it because of 1 Cor. 10. Not because the food might harm you - it won't - but you would not want whoever tells you to think that you think that Shiva and Kali worship is OK.
But I tell you what - a whole lot more Christians are killed by Islamists than by Shiva or Kali worshippers.

Trust me mate, you don’t know what you are talking about here.

There is a big difference between kosher compliance and demon diety offerings.

Many early Christian accounts show serious trouble for Christians who partook of pagan sacrifices.

As Paul says, you can not partake of the table of demons.

God punishes it severely, he will have no other gods before Him.

These Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse etc are demon deities, to partake is to worship.

Read the early Christian accounts, God hands people over to them. It angers Him like nothing else.

Just read the Bible, mate. "Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from the outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" What is it about "all foods" that you don't understand?
Obviously, if you are partaking in a pagan orgy then eating the food is the least of your problems. But if food sacrificed to pagan idols were to be sold in Walmart (I'm sure it isn't!) then if you buy it and take it home and eat it then it will do you no harm so long as you read the ingredients list, and it will not defile you (c.f. 1 Cor. 10:25). You can take that as fact from the Lord Jesus Himself.

In my 67+ years I have traveled extensively throughout 47 of the 50 US states, plus trips to Germany,
Israel, Mexico and Canada.

Can't say I've ever come across a "pagan orgy BBQ"...but if I do, I'll be sure to give it a wide berth.
