I think this is the first time I've seen someone argue that Romans 22 means we have to abstain from everything, everywhere, that might offend someone. Do you eat beef? Are you aware of how many billions of people find that offensive? -- and I'm not talking about vegetarians. Suddenly, you've turned a passage that tells us to consider the weaker brethren among us when we do things around them into a passage that puts us into bondage to any and all "dos and don'ts" religions.
