OK, ok, ok. I have to post this. I thought it so very funny, I was laughing till I cryed. It's not making fun of God or anything just the fact that people go way to far, lol.. Hilarous!

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to

people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an

observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to

Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The

following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by an east coast

resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as

informative:



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 state 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:



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?



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?



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.



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?



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?



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?



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?



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 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?



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
