Evolutionists can theorize all they want, but many of us know the truth as stated in the Bible.

Speaking of truth in the Bible, maybe you can help me with this vexing issue...

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed 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?

Hey, you are picking things apart and choosing things to believe that fit your observations.

That is a tough one... (hey, what is it around here today? I'm usually the king of sarcastic bible references!)

I find latina women pretty hot, but I'm a big hockey fan. So I guess I'd take one of each. Thanks Big Guy!

Speaking of male and female: I just read that in the "Finding Nemo" scenerio, in which a clownfish mother is killed, the father would change sex, become the mother, and the kid would become his mate. I guess some folks were made male and female in the literal and boolean sense.

Although you were being sarcastic you'll get a serious answer--the slavery issue is a huge pet peeve of mine

There isn't a single nation out there who doesn't rely on slaves. We're not morally superior compared to the 1700s just because corporations own slaves instead of individuals and because they're offshore instead of in the country.

The bible also states that you must let them free if you strike them and that if they seek refuge from you from your neighbor that your neighbor is obligated to provide them asylum and a bed anywhere they want and provide them food. Oh yes, if you have no offspring they inherit the farm.

If you want to play by the rules you have to play by all of them.
