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 on a union between a man and a woman". I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries too 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.
Leviticus 25:44 states that I may posses slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not to Canadians. Can you please clarify this. Why can't I own Canadians?
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 (I'm pretty sure she is a virgin).
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord according to Lev. 1:9 The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I have a neighbour 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.
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination according to Lev. 11:10 - it is a lesser abomination that homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination?
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?
Most of my males 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?
I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me inclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
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. It must be really great to be on such close terms with God and his son, even better than you and your own Dad, eh??

Anyway, the reason for moving to that country is to live with my sweetheart, Duddi (pron Doodi). It's legal to marry in Denmark and we're already engaged (though I still have to buy Duddi a ring...). Duddi has a son, Tobias, who will be 4 next month. It's a bit too early to be certain about us getting married - there's no rush! However, it's a possibilty in Denmark and you can either have a civil, legal marriage and there are a few clergy about (so Duddi tells me!) who will do a 'religious' one. Denmark is a protestant country and it's generally a very liberal place characterised by a 'human' outlook. I think it's a real possibility that England may allow gay marriages one day. There has already been moves to facilitate giving legal rights to gay couples - a step in the right direction! I think the Catholic Church has to really look at the issue but it has always been restricted by it's own dogma. A dogma which constantly causes tension between State, Church and ordinary people. Of course, it needs to put it's own house in order! Perhaps, like MSN, it needs to shut down! I've always been dismayed, to say the least, by the number of cases of child sexual abuse reported that have been perpetrated by Catholic priests! I think a lot of the problem stems from not allowing their priests to be human through disallowing them marriage/sex - a very unhealthy state.
I have been a member of the largest gay church in the world for several years. They preach love. I thought Jesus was about love
My pastor who is a lesbian who has been with her partner for 18 years showed us that Niomi and Ruth were lesbians. I would love to see Bush debate her on that
