Wesley Setree preaches:

>I am strongly against their push to become a protected class like race,

In response to Dr. Laura's irrational and hateful rantings on the same
subject, the following appeared in a different newsgroup:
> This letter was sent in response to Dr Laura's claim that homosexuality is
> an abomination because it's against the Bible...
>
> Dear Dr. Laura, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
> God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, 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 him 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 specific law
> and how to best follow them as a true believer.
>
> 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. How should I deal with this?
>
> I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus
> 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for
> her?
>
> 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.
>
> Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around
> us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not
> Canadians. Can you clarify?
>
> 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?
>
> A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination
> (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't
> agree. Can you settle this?
>
> Lev. 20:20 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 prescription glasses.
> Does my vision have to be
> 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

> I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident that
