Ironic, as Beck is inflaming White terrorism....  and not out of principle, but in order to enrich himself.

If the tele-evangelists and the Politicians can do it, so can Beck...

I cannot adequately express my aversion to this kind of proselytizing, and it is frustrating beyond belief to be portrayed as the worst kind of heathen because I don't believe religion should be driving government.  And I don't care about the political leanings of those who feel the need to keep bringing it up - it is just as offensive coming from a so-called progressive as it is coming from someone like Beck.

Maybe there's something wrong with me - maybe I'm not the right kind of Christian that I prefer to let my faith be my business, and that I don't want to be preached at or forced to observe what others believe.

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 uncleanliness - 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?

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
    

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.

It is perfectly possible to disagree with someone's religion without wishing physical violence on them.

If he did, he'd know better than to associate Obama with it (for better or worse), but no matter

and if this WaPo post's interpretation is correct:

Context is everything. You know the world differently, and thus you do theology differently....the absolutely critical move in liberation theology is to recognize that this information does influence you, and you need to become aware of that and become self-critical, and gain more insight into how others see the world as well

thus, the poor are already destined for the fiery pits of hell, and there really isn't anything they can do about it. unless god's just playing a cruel joke on them.

The white house should be driving a stake through that loathsome argument instead of timidly repeating, the president is a Christan.

Shouldn't they say something to the effect that human beings are imperfect and incapable of understanding God, that we all strive to do our best with the limited knowledge we have (compared to God's infinite wisdom) and that the proof is in the fact that we have many denominations.
