God Loves Me.

I found this on http://www.topix.net/, it was in response to the typical biblical reference that people use to back up their hatred towards gays.

"Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law.

I have learned a great deal from your posts 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 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 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?(I'm pretty sure she's a virgin).

3. 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?

4. 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?

5. 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? Aren't there 'degrees' of abomination?

6. 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?

7. 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?
8. 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?

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!"

She lost her bid, now she wants to do the same for Hillary...

Ferraro: Obama Where He Is Because He's Black


I believe that Barack Obama would be the front runner regardless of his race. I don't even think of race when I see him. I think of youthful vigor, style, self confidence. He's perfectly suited to be President, like Kennedy, he's got great charisma. I still feel he doesn't have the experience that Clinton would bring to the Presidency. True those words were used against JFK, but times were different. We're now fully engaged in a war. The economy is at 20 year low(today the market went up 400 pts who's playing games with the stock market?). Maybe the country needs someone with inexperience to clean up this mess Bush is leaving. That's a thought.
Can he beat McCain in November? I think it depends on how things are going in Iraq. Everyone knows now that as a Senator he voted against going into Iraq. If things are not going well in Iraq, he'll be sitting pretty, but if things go well in Iraq, McCain will look good since (he'll claim) he wrote the original script and say stuff like, things are so much better now, lets stay the course, we're still not safe from terrorism (with a few Al-Qaida threats thrown in). On the other hand, the majority of Americans are sick and tired of the blood shed and of spending 15 billion dollars a month in Iraq. Yet, if we focus more on the economy, I think McCain will lose against Hillary or Barack. McCain's idea on how to help the economy is the same as Bush's and nobody wants that.
I still haven't been convinced that Hillary doesn't have what it takes to beat McCain.
Let me put it this way: Will Obama be able to take the heat? The Republicans are very sleazy and they'll turn inexperience into a disease. If you think Ferraro dirtied up the race, wait till the real bigots get started, and they're mostly Republicans.

Picture or Painting?

You be the judge. The house is real and it's located just south of downtown Half Moon Bay. The wild flowers are just beautiful.

McCain's Unlikely Ally Could Give Him a Surge!

Jolie sees benefit in US surge in Iraq

Is it possible that when she's in Iraq on her humanitarian mission she's being used and fooled by the General? I'm sure she feels safer touring Iraq, but is her account accurate?
