A response to Dr. Laura and the other bible thumpers
Subject: Response to Dr. Laura
Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. She is not a medical doctor nor psychologist of any kind. She has a doctorate in something like education. I imagine most people calling in think that she is a a psychiatrist. She is pretty much a fundamentalist Christian. Recently, she said that, for an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, Which was posted on the Internet:
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 of the other specific laws 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 35:2 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.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan,
Jack

Luckly I wasn't around when DM was around. I assume he was "Bad." Was he the worst member in HC history or something?

IMO Dear_Morons wasnt the real snow some people claim him to be.
At many times i found him rather funny, sure he got many penalties and he deserved mostly each one of them.
Add to that blackmailing a moderator (at that time after she had given him her mod password for his "real name") and making private IM:s public and you will understand why certain people dont like him.
He was about looking for trouble and trouble was what he got.
Did he deserved to be banned? yeah i guess... most of his posts were of an insulting nature and i dont think i was the only one he tried to make IM tricks on.
But i wouldnt call him the worst member of all time, ive seen members here who only has been insulting and that i concider worse. DM afterall had some serious posts aswell even if there wasnt to many of em... then off course blackmailing a moderator isnt a clever move to make, but at the same time he obviously found a serious glitch. Though he could have handled that much better then keep blackmailing and making hexas IM:s public to see.
Id rather have dear_morons back instead of wesley or a tosser like malice if the option were given to me.
so no, IMO he is not the worst member of all time.
