You never know what’s going to tick off the Almighty. You’d think if it bothered Him so much, He’d have made it one of the Commandments. “Thou shalt not chew with thy mouth open.” Maybe He did. After all, if “Thou shalt not stew the kid in its mother’s milk” really means “Thou shalt not cut a roast beef sandwich with a knife that, a week ago, somebody else used to cut a cheese sandwich”, then maybe “Honor thy father and thy mother” really means “Thou shalt not chew with thy mouth open”. After all, that’s the sort of thing parents are always saying to their children.
I’ll bring up the question the next time I’m in Bible class. You should, too.

Have you ever watched a squirrel, raccoon or skunk chewing? Not just gross but messy! At least dogs and cats chew with their mouths closed.

Not a sin, but it should be.
