Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that homosexuality is an abominaton according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr.Laura penned by a US resident:
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 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 specific laws and how to follow them.
a)
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour 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 offence.
d)
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring 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 neighbour 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 agree. Can you settle this?
g)
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?
h)
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?
i)
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?
j)
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.

Okey, so I've been gone for 10 years. Forgive me.
Nothing much has happened since if posted. Oh wait...THE SOCO CONCERT!!! W00T!!!
Yeah so it was awesome. On the way up to columbus i talked my mom's ear off and she thought I was high or something. Haha. Yeah and when we got there the line was soo long. But yeah we finally got in and then we waited for like an hour. Everyone was touching me. I couldn't take it. EWW. But then the first band played, they were pretty good. Junior Revolution from Cincinnati. Everyone just bobbed their heads cos like only one person knew the words. The second band, Days Away, sucked major ass. That guy thought he was sooo sexy but he looked like a retard. During days away everyone started pushing back and forth. More people touched me. It was a nightmare. Then when they stopped, everyone stopped moving but we were now so close i could barely move my arms. I was pushed up against these gay guys asses in front of me...and haha...it was awkward. Then the eargasmic Mae came on. <3333333333. Yeah during like the first song me and my friend got pushed from the side we were on to the other side of the pit in like 20 seconds. I lost my SoCo shirt during that mess =(. Yeah Mae fucking r0x0rd my s0x0rd. Then when they stopped and we were just standing there waiting, I felt something at my feet. I leaped down at it, grabbed it, and came back up to find my SoCo shirt!!! =) Then SoCo came on. I like Mae better than SoCo, but i knew all the words to SoCo's songs because i had listened to them for longer. They played "Punk Rock Princess" and I was all like I love you Andrew! Yeah. And then later on Andrew said that they were going to do something different and play some slow songs. Then he said he was going to play "Globes and Maps". I screamed like a girl cos that's my favorite song by them. I almost cried. then of course they played "Konstantine" and it was awesome and like ten million people around me were crying. Yeah so that was awesome. Haha I forgot the part where my brother was giving me a tour of his dorm and I fell in love with it and the city. I'm so going to OSU.
So now it's time for another one of my I'm so lonely rants. Because I am. I swear to god i would just be so happy if i had someone to be with. But I don't know anyone who I could be with. This whole time seems like its a big waste of my time and life. I want to go somewhere and meet some people, but where? There is no where around here. Gah.
Okey I'm done with that.
Have any of you heard of Cex? He's the greatest. He's an underground white rapper and if you don't have it already you have to download "Wrist Elbow". Its so great. So great. Also check out The Rapture. They're a dance punk band. I don't get the name though, its more dance indie. But whatever. Just download "House of Jealous Lovers".
Hey, its lyric time!!! Of course I can't post without putting some lyrics up.
Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everything is A.OK!
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, God you're touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

Okay I'm bored. So I figured I'd update this. Guess what? What you said about me was true. About how I say what everyone is thinking but I really shouldn't? Yeh. Lol. Today in health Laura Ferris was singing and someone was telling her to sing louder and she said that she couldn't because it will hurt her throat. Then I said "So why don't you just stop singing?" She started bitching off and stuff but it was hilarious. Hi-fuckin-larious! Lol so yeh just had to say that.

He said that it felt good to be alive.
He never did amount too much.
He never did try hard enough.
This time I won't be caught off guard,
just like all other times before.
It doesn't mean that much to me.
Loving never meant that much to me.
I never said that it felt good to know everything that you needed to know.
I guess you never really tried.
(Texas is the Reason-The Day's Refrain)
Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
and not a spoken feeling.
I'm knowing that right now is all that matters.
All the nights we stayed up talking
and listening to 80's songs;
quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart,
and eventually you'll finally get it right.
(The Ataris-In This Diary)
Just lonely, baby--doesn't mean I'm looking for a friend.
I've got plenty, I'm still learning how to lay down my life for them.
Don't want to find yourself alone at thirty-five,
spending half what you make on your car (and hating that drive).
Just crazy, maybe--doesn't mean I'm looking for a cure.
I've got stability that scares you,
'cause it's hard to believe when you're so sure.
No matter how different you are, you're just like everybody else.
No matter how hard you try and fit in, there is no one like you.
You will find you spend a good deal of your life, sitting at red lights

Looking back in time
Through verses set in nursery rhyme
At oil painted eyes
Of muses left behind
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
She stands with arms stretched out
Towards the mountains & the clouds
Oil painted eyes
Blind yet hypnotized
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry
(How near, how far, how lost they are)
I've rendered every line
Every contour of a muse's eye
Painted in my eyes mind
On canvases of time
I swear I know not why
Those eyes have always left me dry

Hey...i guess its been a while since i updated. Im kinda happy right now and I'm listening to happy music. I really don't have anything to say on here cos nothin's happened. Nothing ever happens. My life's so fuckin' boring goddamnit.
I guess i'll post some lyrics or something.
I started to ache when I started to think of you.
Wondering how long it would take beore I step into something new.
There's only so much I can fake.
There's only so much that I can prove.
Well, do it in a minute,
I could go play the fool for you.
Lights, camera, action.
I think I'm going for it this time.
There's something you should listen to.
Could I take you for a car ride?
This is the soundtrack for our movie.
Would you tell me when we get to the best part?
I'll play it for you.
Oh no, I think I've lost this one.
Can we try again?
Well I'm a wreck.
I really can't explain it but I,
I hear the music when I look at you.
Orchestrating the song to accommodate the moment.
Well, I'm so in love with you.
Are you looking for an answer?
Because I could reallt use a friend tonight.
We can make this last forever.
We don't have to fear the sunlight.
I'll take a chance and steal away this movie moment.
I'm in deep whenever I'm with you.
I'm directing the scene that has you and me forever.
We'll I'm so in love with...
(Mae-Soundtrack For Our Movie)
why i should leave...
no
why i'm leaving you...
for him
well let's see here...
well, let's see
where should i...
begin?
everynight you get annihilated with all your friends
and everynight i drink aloneuntil you stumble in the morning sun
it's a fuck and run
i know see it all i see it in the eyes of those girls
those fucking girls they smile and nod
but never a single word
i'm just in the way
i'm the ball and chain
you're the jailbird chirping how
hard life is in the cage
and how hard it is waking up next to me...
you really really think that guy is gonna make it alright
since you told me you could never be in love with another man
oh but this one is it
but i remember when we met we knew that it was the end
yeah i remember i remember i remember
all those things
not everything
summer haircuts
dollar movies
we used to sneak a six-pack in your bag
and wait for a girl to scream or a car to crash
so we could crack open our cans
and the time you shaved my head in the front yard
a passerby stopped to take a picture
we ended up in the paper
and now you wanna leave
well maybe i forgot a couple things
it doesn't mean i don't remember how it feels
when you're lying naked next to me
valentine
i want to feel your hips pressed up against mine
we'll push into eachother
love's alive
it might be fleeting but it's ours, it's tonight
so won't you reconsider
love's lost lives
you might be lonely,
but i'm still by your side
you might have to leave
but not tonight

I saw you sliding out the bar.
I saw you slipping out the back door, baby.
Don't even try and find a line this time, it's fine. Darling, you're still
divine.
You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.
So now you're headed to your car.
You say it's dinner with your sister, sweetie.
But darling look at how you're dressed. Your best suggests
another kind of guest.
You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.
So who's this other guy you've got?
Which other rubes are riding hot-shot, sugar?
I could have swore you said before, "No more, for sure." What'd I
believe you for?
You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.

I can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but i'm slipping inbetween
you and your big dreams
it's always you
in my big dreams
and you tell me that it's over
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
and your restless, and i'm naked
you've gotta get out
you can't stand to see me shaking
no
could you let me go?
I didn't think so
and you don't wanna be here in the future
so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
and you don't wanna look much closer
cuz your afraid to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had crashed
and it did
because of me
and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that you're alone
and i'm sleeping in your living room
but we don't have much room to live
I had these dreams that i learned to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
and there was hope in me that i could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well i don't think i care
and if i hurt you
then i'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy
then you bring me home
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
and i'm dreaming in your living room
but we don't have much room to live
and konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesn't she look good
standing in her underwear
and i was thinking
what i was thinking
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that i could do is touch her long blonde hair
and i've been thinking
it hurts me thinking that these nights
when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere
no
this is because i can spell konfusion with a k
and i like it
it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
when the first star you see may not be a star
I'm not your star
isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
and if this is what it takes
just to lie in my mistakes
and live with what i did to you
and all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
it's 11:11
and now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
you'll always be my konstantine
konstantine, they'll never hurt you like i do
no they'll never hurt you like i do
no, no, no no no no no no
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the pretty things she did
hey
you know
you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the fucked up things i did
hey
maybe
baby
you could keep me up in bed
my Konstantine
spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen
and i said
did you know i missed you?
oh god i miss you
and then you bring me home
and we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
and you'll kiss me in your living room
i know
you'll miss me in your living room
cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room
we don't have much room
i said does anybody need that room?
because we all need a little more room
to live

tucked in your coller
close to your chest

shown to the closest friends
and meet me at quarter to 7
the sun will still shine then
at this time of year
we'll head to the inlet
and we'll share a bottle there
and color the coast with your smile
its the most genuine thing

i was so lost
but now i believe
and follow me south of the big docks
they teather the boats

they hire our fathers to steer
and down to the edge of the water
where we'll spill our guts
and we'll name our fears
i'll give you this picture
keep it and dont
