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 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 am
confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us
that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Well folks I'm done here, no point beating a dead horse. God is the final judge, if you're truly comfortable knowing there is no God and no heaven and hell or life after death, continue to live a sinful self absorbed life style. If you claim to be a Christian and think God truly accepts homosexuality and it isn't a sin, that is between you and God, I know I wouldn't trust that assumption myself standing before him come judgment day, but to each his own. Good luck to you all in your future endeavors in this journey we call life, never stop thirsting for knowledge. And live life to the fullest, every man dies not every man truly lives. Peace.

One last thing, I encourage you all to watch the below video, and to read the books the Case For Christ, and The Case For Faith. As well as the Bible.

so in other words, like another religious zealot who can't defend their postings, you run away whining to everyone to believe in an imaginary sky daddy and he has final say over us, despite that many of us do not believe in an invisible sky daddy and then tell us we are living in sin; coming a from a person who just sinned in post after post.

And you wonder why no one wants to deal with the religious right anymore.

I had to come back to address this, it must really take a smart person to copy and paste this eh?

http://www.whitehorseinn.org/blog/20...word-of-truth/ Try looking for some of your answers here.

Hoax testimony hoax endorsement Or here, This is a good one that refutes such childish chatter.

I could find more sites to refute this, but am tired and ready for bed. All that stupid letter about a Canadian is rubish from a non thinking atheist who can easily be refuted with a little research, next time think of something of your own with out copying and pasting such crap. Thanks, have a good night.

Why do you even call yourself an agnostic? You sound an awful lot like you are a full blown bitter atheist? Eh? Eh?

Well I am an agnostic and I believe that the way to live life is through goodness. It's a more enjoyable planet if humanity strives to be mindful of manners and everyone does their part to keep the peace and work towards getting rid of the ills that make us unhappy, which includes laziness, ignorance, sickness, hunger, and hatred.

people should be allowed to enjoy anything together as long as they do not hurt others, themselves, and the environment.
