A letter to Dr. Laura about morals! (MUST READ)

[Sean Reynolds]

Saw this on another board and thought I'd post it! :)

Dear Dr. Laura

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality. Recently, she said that as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 & cannot be condoned under any circumstances. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, J. Kent Ashcraft, which was posted on the Internet:

May 2000

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 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.

One more.

Scotty (Lowtax) - yes very. Weve been on the news many times for my fathers fiery sermons. there are many vile homosexuals in this state, and we try to change them into productive heterosexuals like GOD wants. the liberal homosexual biased media doesnt support this though, because homosexuals are the most easily influence demographic and the media can sell anything to them because there brains are defective. Like they can sell them fag toasters and homosexual shirts and gay things like that.

Scotty (Lowtax) - "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22

1. Thanks Sean!

This is an oldie but definitely a goodie!

2. Hey, all my gay/lesbian friends are off the hook, then

Since men do not have vaginas, my gay male friends can't possibly lie with them the way they might with womankind. AND my lesbian friends are already not lying with mankind as with womankind, exactly as God has directed here.

Right?
:shrug:

3. I love this. Thank you. Laura is a screwed up cow who never had a

happy day. She lives a bigger lie everyday than
someone in the closet because she's trying to
BE something. Orthodox Jew. That was cool for a
while. Mother. The boy grew up. Wife. Someone
else's husband then, thank you.

She's as false as any idol and more sad than
most. Her great punishment is to live inside
her own skin.

God loves us all, straight, gay, whatever. I just
wish she could know that. She might know that God
loves her too.
