You know, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, one of our preeminent homophobic bitches. Right up there with Ann Coulter.

(And I've also been advised that the following 'letter' might have been on West Wing, but for some reason, I've never watched that show, so I don't know if it was or not.) (But if the following is typical of their liberal-bias, then I think I would enjoy it very much.)

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your radio 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 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 specific Bible laws and how to 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 complain to the zoning people. 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. What do you think would be a fair price for her? She's 18 and starting college. Will the slave buyer be required to continue to pay for her education by law ?

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 and threaten to call Human Resources.

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? Is there something wrong with tham due to the weather?

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, or should this be a neighborhood improvement project ? What is a good day to start? Should we begin with small stones? Kind of lead up to it?

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. I mean, a shrimp just isn't the same as a you-know-what. 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? Would contact lenses fall within some exception?

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? The Mafia once took out Albert Anastasia in a barbershop, but I'm not Catholic; is this ecumenical thing a sign that it's ok?

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

Funny, J.J. I'm not preaching and i'd be the last person to defend any of those homophobic, close-minded, fundalmentalist Pricks, which the US seems to have way too many of, but i wouldn't try using that letter on anyone who actually knows what the bible really says.



Without getting into a lot of theology, the Book of Acts, chapter 15 is quite clear that that the Laws of the Old Testament do not apply to the Christian Church so none of that stuff applies. The same chapter says that circumcision is not necessary either, timmy will be pleased to hear!

cheers

Dear J.J. Janicki,

You need to be aware that "Dr." Laura Schlessinger has zero credibility after nearly 10 years has passed since she was effectively muzzled by her own ignorance and bias. She in effect became little more than a punchline to joke in poor taste.

What is much more of a threat to not only the LGBTQ community in the United States, but women, particularly lower middle class and poorer women, is the far reaching effects of the bile spewed forth by the so-called christian "family" values conservative organisations.

Notably, the Family Research Council, Focus On The Family, The National Organisation for Marriage, the American Family Association, and also Wallbuilders run by christian history revisionist David Barton.

These organisations do incredible damage through programmes of duplicitous propaganda. In fact, to give you a small sampling, watch the offering from AFA below.

Posting anything about "Dr." Laura serves no real purpose, when given the damage being wrought by these others.
For more information or to keep current, I'll suggest you visit my webpage and take a look through the numerous resources & links listed in the right hand column.

Sincerely
