The Bible tells me so...
"Harry Krause" wrote in message ... (One of my email friends passed this along to me...it's kind of light, and I think it'll make most of us smile...) Dear President Bush: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Laws. I have learned a great deal from your pronouncements regarding what is morally right and what is morally wrong, and I want to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. For example, when someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, I simply remind them that you told us that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. But I do need advice from you regarding some of the other specific laws in the Bible and how to follow them: 1. 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? 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. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed 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? 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35: clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? 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? 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, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Another Devout American Christian Joseph Smith Harry, you say this is kind of light and will make us smile? You act like its just another funny email? This is GOLD! I have so many inlaws that have been craming select bible passages down my throat that this makes my "send email" finger tremble. Of course it will probably cost me a divorce, but you can't have everything! Dixon |

I'll bet that would **** off Jesus...he never converted. Oh the Old Testament called for many things that I wouldn't agree with. Though I am Catholic, I don't follow in blindness. You know a Priest once told me there is nothing worse than a number of Priests having dinner and discussing religion. That is the truth. Even they can't agree on all facets of the Catholic religion. Are you still going to get some boating in this year Harry? I hope so. The weather up here is turning pretty cold. I still see a few people hauling their aluminum outboards out for a day of fishing. We probably need to caution some of these nimrods in the north about the dangers of hypothermia. Maybe this week I'll find some time to post a few links about the danger. Regards John S I would rather be boating! |

There is a lot more to learn about hypothermia than just dressing warm. Did you know that if you take a fall into freezing water your body may involuntarily gasp for air sucking water into your lungs? Without a life jacket, you could well be gone. Hypothermia has often been called "The Killer of the Unprepared." It is also the number one killer of many outdoor sports enthusiasts. I sea kayak in cold weather and believe me, hypothermia is a concern and a real and present danger. Anyone that boats on cold water should know the perils. I'll not be egged into an argument with you though. Have a nice day. Regards John S I would rather be boating! |

They'll feel free to state something from the bible, IF it fits their agenda, but if someone else says, well, hey, it also says....., they'll say, well, yes, but that's been superceded by..... What a crock of ****. IF the new testiment supercedes the old, this means that the old has absolutely NO relevence. IF that then, is the case, why did Bush use it, when it was to his advantage? |

The fact is that a much of those 'laws' set forth in the OT are a basic sanitary code when viewed from the knowledge of the time it was written. It is typical of the liebral to attempt to mesh it with the moral code that are still relevant today.

My wife, my kids, and myself are all PADI certified divers though it has been a number of years since we went on a dive. My daughter was 12 and my son 14 when they received their certification. Hypothermia was quite a topic in the PADI course and since then, my wife and I have taken up sea kayaking on the great lakes. I have read a lot about hypothermia but have never seen that connection. Very interesting. Just for the hell of it (really to take a bath), I jumped off the back of the boat on an early spring camping trip into some pretty cold water. Maybe about 55 degrees or so. What hit me first was a splitting headache. Sheesh, I couldn't hardly believe how cold the water was and how fast it got to me. Luckily we were beached and I moved into shore quickly and stood up out of the water. I reentered the boat from the beached bow. Needless to say I won't try that again. Cold water is really, really cold! Regards John S I would rather be boating! |

When I was a teenager I capsized in Lake Ontario about 3 weeks after the ice had gone out in the spring. Fortunately I hadn't gotten too far. It took almost a minute before I could take anything close to a full breath of air. After the 10 or 15 minutes it took me to get out, I could barely walk. It took over 2 hours in a warm room before I stopped shivering. It's not an experiment that I'd care to repeat at age 59+. |

Gosh, right after ice out, the water had to be in the 30's. Gives me the shivers just to think about it. I guess it was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, cold.
