No offense intended
 

But....this is freakin' Funny. A letter sent to Dr Laura...heh.


"
Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have
learned a great deal from your show, and 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 them 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 other specific laws and how to follow them.

1. 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 neighbours. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

2. 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?

3. 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 tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. (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?

5. 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?

6. 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?

7. (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?

8. 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?

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

10. 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 fan, Jim"

this email was circulated so much, that in The West Wing, season 2 I think, the entire diatribe was lifted by Aaron Sorkin when President Barlet went off on a Dr Laura like radio personality...

anybody want to "hear" 'dear abby' again?

It's only funny to people who know jackshit about the Bible.

That list really is retarded.

Not much to say here without offending someone...

but...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA :crazy:

Haha, thats the point man. Its comparing the homosexuality being a horrible thing to the rest of the retarded list.

No, it's retarded because those laws were made irrelevant with the New Testament.

Not that I give a shit or am offended at all. I just think it's stupid because of how ignorant it it is :p

Well, part of the joke is that Dr. Laura converted to Judaism and recognizes the OT but not the NT as a holy document.

Haha, then that is funny :p
