Homohaat christenen uiterst deskundig getorpedeerd door James M. Kauffman, emeritus hoogleraar aan de universiteit van Virginia

Het is alweer van even terug, maar nog even actueel, dit bericht over de haat tegen homo’s in ‘christelijke kringen’, waar de bijbel wordt gebruikt als bewijs van het gelijk (ha! ha! ha! ‘bewijs’ uit de bijbel, een boosaardig sprookjesboek…). Dr. Laura Schlessinger is een kwaadaardige fundamenteel ‘christelijke’ huppelkut, met een eigen praatshow, waarin ze de gelovige voorhoudt hoe deze dient te leven en te denken…… Schlessinger stelde dat homoseksualiteit een abnormaliteit is, die op grond van de bijbel, nooit kan worden goedgekeurd……..

Hier, na een korte inleiding van ‘Fly’, de reactie van James M. Kauffman, werkzaam aan de universiteit van Virginia:

An Open Letter to Dr. Laura Schlesinger

by fly

It’s the middle of the night so I’ll shamelessly poach something I found at Naked Capitalism, it’s amusing.

Time for a change of pace. This came via e-mail from Marshall Auerback:

In her radio show, Dr. Laura Schlesinger (a popular conservative
radio talk show host in the USA) said that homosexuality is an
abomination according to the Bible Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be
condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open
letter to Dr. Laura, and was attributed to a James M. Kauffman, Ed. D.

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, 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 neighbouring
   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 unseemliness – Lev. 15: 19-24.
   The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take
   offence.

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 neighbours. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I
   smite them?

5. 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, 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.

Your adoring fan,

James M. Kauffman, Ed. D.
