A Concerned Christian\'s Letter to President
Bush
> 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 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 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, as we
do with people who sleep with
> their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
>
> I know you have studied these things
extensively and thus

Thank you again for reminding us that
