May. 13th, 2004 10:51 amsereneorangeThank 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.

Date: 2004-05-13 09:18 am (UTC)B)What is she good at? Consult Kelly's Blue Book of Slave trading.
C)Dunno, I don't have that problem.
D)Only non-white "people" can be owned.
E)See answer A.
F)Your friend is wrong.
G)DO you need glasses to Drive? Then yes.
H)NO.
I)No, it's ok to play footbal, it's not really pig anymore..
It's some synthetic thing.
J)What?
That's my answers.
But really, IF God didn't want to do something like eat pork, have sex, doo all kinds of things, and have persons not of the hetrosexual mindset. Then He wouldn't have made Pork taste good, sex feel good and Well there wouldn't be any homosexuals.
SOO SInce There are people who are homosexual, freaky people not paying him anymind, pork tastes good (ESPICALLY In a bun with BBQ sauce) and Sex feels very very good when you have it, I'm guessing God must think that's good shit.
Remember GOD IS GOD, Religion is some long dead asshole's idea of what God wants for us.
I mean the Catholic church for along time proclaimed that eating meat on a friday was a sin. WTF is so damn special about Friday that you couldn't enjoy the pounder from Cheeburger Cheeburger that you can the other 6 days a week??

Date: 2004-05-13 09:30 am (UTC)Re-read answer A. Holy Handgrenade?
That and I didn't know the Kelly Blue Book made a book on slave trading.
The answers for the most part was me silly but the rant @ the end was semi-serious.
Chocolate tastes good right?
SO there has to be a good reason for that, if we were not supposed to enjoy it it would taste like shit.
