Before his gig as the son of God, Jesus found brief fame as the glove-less
proctologist of Nazareth.

I read about that. That's when he pulled you out of the ass of the swine.

Still disseminating Jesus' message of peace and love and understanding.

What do you expect from a religion that endorsed and performed same-sex unions for a thousand years?

And now, more and more, endorsing and performing same-sex marriages. Hooray for Christianity!

"Jedi Knight" is the top minority religion in UK (after the big ones). I'm thinking of joining and asking for my turn to give invocation at some government meeting.

I answered "Jedi" on a census around a decade ago.

Now I prefer to grow the "non-religious" result. I want politicians to know that religion no longer holds the power over voter opinion that it once did.

Dear Reverend,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your sermons, 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 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 uncleanness - 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.

I'll do that if I ever get the chance - "Ramen, FSM".

I thought Savio was the main driver of the Free Speech Movement; unless there's another FSM (Former Sicilian Mafia?) (Frequent Sudden Mania?) (Fail Safe Mechanism?)

FSM is Flying Spaghetti Monster and it should be r'amen. Get it right Vrede.

Opps! I am not versed with regard to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but if you want to know about Frequent Sudden Mania, just ask.
