If touching the skin of a dead pig is unclean. Can I still play football with gloves on?

In her radio show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger said that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is on open letter to Dr. Laura, which was posted on the internet. It’s hilarious! As well as informative. Definitely worth a read, even though it’s from 2000. I believe the word is “owned.” (The West Wing later used this as a basis for a great scene.) This just goes to show how people pick and choose what they wish to enforce from the bible. A perfect example of why we should legalize same-sex marriage, and how it is wrong to deny this right based upon religious beliefs.

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 states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advise from you, however, regarding some other element’s of God’s Laws and how to follow them:


1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may 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?


2. 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?


3. 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.


4. 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?


5. 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 I ask the police to do it?


6. 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? Are there “degrees” of abomination?


7. 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?


8. 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?


9. 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?


10. 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 and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.


Your adoring fan,

Why do you think it is that in ten thousand years of recorded human history, same sex marriage has never existed until today? Is it wise to abandon a tradition that has emerged from so many different cultures over such an extended period of time?

Isaac Newton said "If I have seen further than other men, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants" I think it's dangerous to abandon traditions that have endured for thousands of years because we think that we are wiser than our ancestors. There's a difference between wisdom and hubris.

I dont understand why people get all up in their religous beliefs when it comes to faggots. I suppose there are still those that believe that queers are queer by choice and not due to a defect in their genes.
I have had the discussion with people that refuse to believe that a person can be born queer but can believe that a person can be born retarded or with downs syndrome or any number of other birth defects. Of course none of these or very few are actually caused by the actual birth but a screw up in the proteins that make up the chromosomes that contain the DNA that makes us what we are.

This is true of liberals that just cant help themselves, obvious birth defect.

I know there are those that do choose the lifestyle of homosexuality just as some will choose to be a liberal. There is hope for both but if you are born that way nothing will change and I dont understand why these people cant get it through their heads.

I thought it was the bible thumping conservatives that were all for burning queers at the stake.Not liberals.

Most gay men if you look were sexually abused as young boys, similarly with lesbian women also abused mostly by men.

To me the sexuality thing is a choice.... every homosexual out there made a conscious decision to be that way.

The way i see its their choice they have to live with it, but don't ask me to make any special accommodations for it or ask me to join.

No one has to make accommodations for anyone other than allow those in the LGBT community to live their lives in peace and have the same opportunities as everyone else in the heterosexual community. The whole marriage thing doesn't affect anyone, yet those who are religious want to cram their crap down the throat of others and try to set up laws against them and their sexuality.

It's amazing how you will argue and support science over religion, etc., except in cases, such as this, wherein scientific facts do not support homosexuality as 'natural'. Were it 'natural', homosexuals could reproduce sexually. They cannot reproduce sexually; hence, homosexuality is not natural.

I agree IB, a homosexual lifestyle is definitely unnatural. Now many states have legalized same sex marriages. I don't go for that and I am sure they'll be adopting children, which should be totally out of the question.

having lived 10 years in an orphanage for boys way back in the dark ages, these places were magnets for demons who sought unprotected boys for their so-called needs.

i could name an inordinate amount of boys (now men), much more than the supposed average percentage of gay men in the overall population, who now have such proclivities who only sought needed love from the men who sought perversion from them

Gay people are not pedophiles..you should read up on pedophilia. The men who do that are heterosexual males and in the majority of cases are married or in arelationship with a woman. Two different things....

With regard to gay couples adopting they can adopt children. They have to come under the same criteria as any parental couple looking to adopt.

...."Because of ignorance and myths about sexual abuse, men sometimes fear that the sexual assault by another man will cause them to become gay. This belief is false. Sexual assault does not cause someone to have a particular sexual orientation.
