   Dear President Bush,   
   05 Oct 05 07:39:02   
   
   From: illume1@verizon.net   
      
   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 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 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 am confident you can help.   
      
   Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
