Agree? If not why? Please read the enclosed letter and you tell me. Or the world for that matter. Will you?
After a great amount of studying Theology, and being a LECTOR and Eucharistic Minister on one of the biggest dioceses in the nation, I have seen and understand how our biases and prejudices can cause ill will to most.
Religion just like any isms shape and influence our ways of life. It can define who we are, what we think, feel, and believe. Most importantly is how we feel, think and believe.
Humanity of all ages has been subject to slaughters, annihilation, purges and is the very cause of brutal, and vicious wars.
Don't get me wrong, I personally don't see religion as bad but when a person becomes so altruistic and RIGHTEOUS on the imposition of such beliefs and ways, we become all defensive and fight for what we think and feel is right.
Here's the point of this blog. I invite everyone to analyze and argue, this specific, clause I copied from one of my comments on one of my blogs.
The result is for all of us to RESPECT EACH ONE. BELIEVERS OR NOT, FOR HUMANITY'S sake, we're all brothers and sisters, are we not?
So, our ways of life define us. Why can't we learn and apply everything that is good in our different and individual ways for the collective good of everyone?
Or is it our arrogance and greed induced ways that we allow dominance in our universal conduct?
Don't come out and attack people just because we're all different. Let's respect and be positive and avoid being judgmental. We know deep in our hearts what is good and what is bad. Is there a better way than to follow the GOLDEN RULE?
ANYONE?
So please read and say something about this?
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 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 him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
a) 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?
b) 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?
c) 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.
d) 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?
e) 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?
f) 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
