The Qurʾān states that the consumption of pork is not allowed, as it is considered impure, and pork is therefore considered to be haram (expressly forbidden). This prohibition is part of a broader set of dietary laws that aims to maintain ritual purity and cleanliness, which are central to Islamic practice.

Pigs exhibit same-sex mounting, particularly young males (boars) showing flexibility in sexual behavior, but this is often linked to dominance, social bonding, or lack of females rather than a fixed homosexual orientation like in some other species; researchers note pigs' sexual behaviors are complex and can shift with age, hormones, and environment, with young males sometimes mounting males and females mounting females as normal social play or dominance displays, but it's not the same as long-term "gay" behavior seen in humans or some other animals like male sheep.
No, Jesus never let pork, shellfish or any other unclean meat pass between His lips. When He ate meat, He ate only clean meats—such as fish with fins and scales, lamb, goat and beef. If you are a Christian who tries to follow Jesus' example, it's time to start eating like He did.

There isn't a single universally agreed-upon "#1 worst sin," as different religions and even denominations have varying perspectives, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (attributing Jesus's work to Satan) is often cited as an unforgivable or eternal sin in Christianity, while pride and greed are seen as foundational sins in other traditions, leading to many others.
