In return, the Administration sent him back a letter with President George W. Bush and his wife's autograph and a hearty "Thanks for your support!" written under it.<br /><br />Shows you how much Republicans care about your point of view.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />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."<br /><br />I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.<br /><br />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 Canadians, but not Mexicans. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Mexicans?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />6. 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)<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />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?<br /><br />10. 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?<br /><br />I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.<br /><br /><br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /><br />Repost if you support gay marriage.<br />Maybe some prick will get it through their head.
