    Dear President Bush,

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law.
    I learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose
    and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As
    you said, "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a
    woman." 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?

    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?
    Oh, sorry. IS there degrees ..

    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 blasphemes 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.
