i don't know if anyone has ever posted this letter, but it's so funny, i just have to put it up. :)
Dear Dr. Laura,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people
with God's law. I've learned a great deal from you,
and 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 him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it
to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding
some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
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 seem to 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. Please clarify?
It says, also, that if I hit my slaves I shouldn't kill
them, as it ruins them for work purposes--but it's fine with
God if I maim them a little, putting them at death's door--
so long as I get another days work out of them...What's the
best method?
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 reading glasses. Does my vision have
to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
I know you've studied these things extensively,
so I'm confident you can help.
Thanks again for reminding us that God's Word is
eternal and unchanging.
