Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

of course I do.

I taste like Peanut Butter. I am one of the most blendable flavours; I go with sweet, I go with sour, I go with bland, I go with anything. I am practical and good company, but have something of a tendency to hang around when I'm not wanted, unaware that my presence is not welcome. What Flavour Are You?

vacation

I am on vaction from 5/11 to 5/20. I had every intention of spending it in my pool swimming. That is not happening. I got in a few hours yesterday. So. I have nothing else to do except clean. I hate to clean.

Fucking hell I am bored.

Courtney Love

Oh my god. As disgusted as I have always been by her drug abuse and self abuse, I was just sad to see her on tv tonight. She is unrecognizable, the drugs and the mental illness have completely taken over and she is just so damn sad.

American Idol

I cannot begin to express how sick I am of hearing about how the American Idol voting is proof of racism. It is not. It is proof of how an immature demographic with too much damn time of their hands and misplaced empathy and poor taste in music can put a large portion of the country in a ridiculous uproar about things that, in comparison to the horror that is happening elsewhere, are insignificant.
The arguments I hear are so damn weak and pathetic. With every argument I rebuff, they twist their own argument, and it is still weak.

In season one two of the last 4 contestants were black. Justin was runner up and half black. And quite frankly, in this country.. if you are a little black, most people just go ahead and lump you into black. As the mother of a half black boy, I have seen it.

Season two: two of the last 4 are black. Black man wins.

This season last time I checked ( only on internet, only catch glimpses of the show now and then) the last 4 had two black people in it.

This is seeming pretty damned equal ( or actually more favoring to black people) considering when you compare it to the actual population breakdown in this country.
Jennifer hudson has a voice suitable for broadway. She should do great there. Simon made Jasmine cry and the teeny boppers felt sorry for her, so she gets to stay. I heard her sing other times, she is not bad. Just sucked that night.

Here is the deal. We cannot pick a president, we cannot pick congressmen. Shocker, we cannot pick singers. Of course this is a popularity contest.

And one last thought. A big part of this may have nothing to do with race, it may just be that we are tired of people running their fucking voice up and down the scale and calling that singing. I grew up listening to blues, and jazz, and soul and everything Motown. Not a single one of the best singers would just run the damned scale for half a song and expect anyone to think they were proficient with their instrument, let alone gifted.
