Why can't I own a Canadian?

Why can't I own a Canadian?

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 2:27pm
In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant
Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus
18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a US man,
and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, 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 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, 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'm confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

did some digging to see if this incident was a hoax.

Looks like the letter has been circulating since before 2000.  Nevertheless it still illustrates the risks with trying to taking the Bible literally.



An Open Letter to Dr. Laura

[Yurica Report Editor's Note: May 5, 2009. According to an article signed by Barbara Mikkelson, dated September 5, 2007, this now famous "letter" was attributed to James M. Kauffman, Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia, in error. We apologise for mistakenly perpetuating this error. However, we have not been able to verify the authorship. In 2003, Jane Kansas, a reporter of the Halifax Daily News presented the piece in her column as her own and was subsequently fired. J. Kent Ashcraft or Kent Ashcraft claims that he is the author with several others who assisted him on a portion. Nevertheless, by May of 2000 the letter made its way into a number of newspapers, including the Knoxville News-Sentinel and the Seattle Weekly. Regardless of the authorship, however, and as Mikkelson points out, the letter reveals a startling logical flaw in the "homosexuality is wrong" debate that relies on biblical law. For, as Mikkelson stated it, "If homosexuality is wrong because it goes against God's law as outlined in the Bible, why aren't any number of activities now viewed as innocuous but once regarded as unacceptable also offenses against God's law?" This is a powerful argument for Christians, Jews and non-believers. In the hope of assisting our readers, we have inserted the King James Version (KJV) of the verses for your convenience with links.]
