Excellent comment on what the fundys want!
Just saw this cartoon, if Smirk's biggest supporters, (the wack jobs from last Sunday's "60 Minutes,") what they want if they get their way.

1. In a similar vein
This one was making the e-mail rounds a few years ago when Dr. Laura was in the news . . .

****************************Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I learned a great deal from you, 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 best 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 claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests doing 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 buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians? Can you clarify?

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. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

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

I know you 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.

4. random smilies
Have you noticed how the random smilies tend to show up when people refer to bible verses? Kinda funny how all those : 7's get misinterpreted.

7. Something For Nothing
Edited on Sat Feb-14-04 11:06 PM by Don_G
...and the Tax is Free...?

Talk about a "Welfare Cadilac," what about the Dimbo's disrembermace of Heavy Hallibruton Hitters VS Weak Welfare Wankers in the midst of a "free" election.

Psst privilage: The wanker's second-in-command can't function as a Governerator in Texas Incarnate unless he can dissaccoiate his 14 year-old daughter from claiming she can or can't functrion normally....

Ain't it "Rich..."
