A letter to Dr. Laura

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. How should I deal with this?   I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests 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 that I wear prescription glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

  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.

THE LIST Gay Politics: Online & With an Edge

STOP DR. LAURA!!!

- When Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker belittled "queers"... he got suspended. - When 60 Minutes' Andy Rooney belittled Native Americans... he got suspended. - When golf announcer Ben Wright mocked lesbians... he got fired. - When writer Jimmy Breslin denigrated Asians... he got suspended. - When Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott disparaged African- Americans... she got fired. - When football player Reggie White attacked gays... he got dropped by CBS and Campbell's Soup. - When Jimmy-The-Greek stereotyped African-Americans... he got fired. But Dr. Laura calls gays "biological mistakes"... and she's getting a TV show from Paramount. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Paramount pulled a show in 1998 that offended African-Americans ("The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer"), but is fine with Dr. Laura equating homosexuality with incest and pedophilia. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Americans deserve equal respect, not a double standard.

"How many letters have I read on the air from gay men who acknowledge that a huge portion of the male homosexual populace is predatory on young boys?'' - Dr. Laura quoted by Reuters/Variety, Feb. 13, 2000.

Friends, the real predator is intolerance, hatred and bigotry - and it has led to tragedy too many times. In the names of:
Matthew Shepard
      Billy Jack Gaither
                  Brandon Teena
              Allen Schindler
                              Barry Winchell
                  In the name of every one of us... PLEASE ACT NOW!

"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."   - Martin Niemoeller, Berlin Lutheran pastor arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau concentration camp in 1938; the Allied forces freed him seven years later.
