i got this in an email. its funny.


Dear President Bush,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said, 'in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man and a woman.' 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 other elements 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 uncleanness (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 Lev 19:27 expressly forbids this. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes meunclean, 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 am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.

Ugh. I never said it was immoral, in fact I went ahead and said in my post that I didn't believe that it was. I don't have a problem with gay people, they can do what they want, and I actually have a couple friends that are in fact gay. However, it is unnatural, yes, sex for pleasure is unnatural, however, I don't see anything morally WRONG with it. I knew somebody was going to freak out about my post and read other things into it. Homosexuality is an abnormal mental condition, abnormal in the fact that its not of the norm, its not present in the majority of people. I actually believe in gay marriage if it makes you feel any better. But hey, if you're offended because you like to stick your dick in some guys ass then be offended, I could care less. This is my belief and the fucking world is a bunch of politically correct assholes who DONT WANT TO HURT OTHER PEOPLES FEELINGS.

Sigh... how did I know you weren't going to backpedal at all. No one ever does. Whatever, now we're arguing semantics, but if abnormal equals not part of the majority viewpoint equals unnatural, then enjoying skiing is unnatural. I don't know, you could go through quite a few reductio-ad-absudum arguments there, but as you're not likely to alter your position in any case, I won't bother. As for PC, I generally hate it with a passion, except where it's necessary; where there is a noticeable amount intolerance. I see a lot of that towards gay people (not around where I live but certainly on this site), and, as a result, I go a bit gung-ho on it. At some point, hopefully, people will stop being assholes, and it won't be necessary anymore, just as it's hardly necessary to be massively uptight about women's rights these days.

Skiing is of course not a natural process, you can't call it unnatural in the way I'm using the word .

When I say that homosexuality is unnatural its because a penis was not developed through millions of years of natural selection and evolution to stick in some other guys asshole. Through evolution, males were not meant to attempt copulation through other males. The fact that gay men are actually attracted to other men also isn't necissarily the most the abberant part, its the fact that they have NO desire to copulate with females at all thats the bad part. There has to be something different in their hormonal balance, chemical balance, or brain development that causes this, most likely a mutation of some sort. It's a biological fact, an interesting study would be to see if homosexuality followed any sort of pattern in families, if its a trait that is carried over. Of course its only these days that homosexuals are actually accepted enough to talk out, so the research would need to take awhile.

I have nothing against gay people, I just really honestly don't believe that they are NORMAL. I'm not afraid of them, nor do I make fun of them. Generally I believe that they are accepted members of society and good people. I just don't know how to classify them. I believe that they deserve more respect than to be classified as those who would have a mental illness, but I also don't believe that I personally should accept them as the average member either. I work in Northampton, MA, and I live literally 5 miles from there. Northampton is a traditionally 'gay' city and they are proud of that, but heres another though. Northampton was also the site for the Northampton State Hospital, an insane asylum which was closed in the early 70's and the patients were actually released into the city, and these patients still live there for the most part with their descendants.
