For a LAY SOCIETY

        How could religious extremisms be swept off?
       (I am of the opinion that any religious feeling is extremist, besides of alienating, though I do not hope that all of you will share it)

            In order to stimulate the debate, below you may find a letter, whose  author we would like to meet, disclosed by Internet and directed to a well-known radio speaker in the United States who attacked homosexuality describing it as detestible, thus being qualified by the Bible in the Leviticus, versicles 18:22, and therefore it can not be allowed under any circumstance.

             Dear Dra. Laura:
          Thanks for dedicating so many efforts to educate the people in the Law of God. I myself I have learned very much of your radio program and attempt to share my knowledge with everybody I meet. For example, when somebody tries to defend homosexual life I do limit myself to remind him that the Leviticus, in its versícles 18:22 clearly establishes that homosexuality is detestible. Period.
            In any case, I need some additional advice from you with respect to some other Biblical concrete laws and how to fulfill them:

1. I would like to sell my daugther to be a maidservant, such as it is permitted in the Exodus, 21:7. In the times that we live, what price do you think I should ask for her?

2. The Leviticus 25:44 establishes that I can buy bondservants and bondmaids... of the nations that are round about. A friend of mine assures me that this is applicable to the Mexicans, but not to the Canadians. Could you clarify this point for me? Why can I not have Canadians?

3. I know that I am not authorized to have contact with any woman while she is in her discharge of flesh blood (period of menstrual impurity, Lev. 15:19-24). The problem that worries me is the following one: how can I know whether or not they are in such a discharge? I have often asked them, but most women feel offended.

4. I have a neighbor who insists on working on Saturday. Exodus 35:2 clearly establishes that whosoever doeth work on Sabbath is to be put to death. Morally, am I forced to kill him myself? How could I proceed on this subject?

5. Leviticus 21:20 settles down that one cannot approach the altar of God if he has blemish in his eyes. I have to confess that I need glasses to read. Must visual sharpness be 20/20? Can I relax a little bit on this condition?

6. Some of my male friends comb their hair rounding the corners of their heads and marking the corners of their beards, which is specifically prohibited by the Leviticus, 19:27. How should their death be?

7. I know, thanks to the Leviticus 11:7-8 that I am not permitted to touch the carcasses of a dead pig. Even so, could I continue playing soccer, provided I’d be wearing gloves?

8. My uncle in-law has a farm. He fails to comply with Leviticus 19:19 which prohibits to row two kinds of seed in your field. As his  wife also fails to fulfill with it, since she wears garment of two kinds of stuff mixed together (cotton and polyester). Not to add that he spends the day cursing and blaspheming. Is it really necessary to carry out the troublesome procedure to gather the inhabitants of the town in congregation to stone them? (Lev 24:14-16). Or instead, could they not simply be burnt with fire in a private familiar meeting, as it is done with those that lie with their in-law relatives, following Lev. 20:14?
   
   I know that you have studied these subjects in great depth, so I trust your advice. And thanks for reminding us that the word of God is eternal and immutable.
