Did you even bother READING Leviticus? Have you ever bothered READING the book at all, in it's entirety? Or do you prefer taking things out of context to try to 'prove' a point that in actuality.. doesn't exist. Let me re-iterate the scene.. Moses coming down from the mountain, face radiating while holding the tablets of the law. The children of Isreal worshiping a golden calf... see what I'm saying? What Was The Context? The law was given to the Isrealites, and it is some pretty common-sense stuff too. In the laws, it states that you have to release your slaves after a set amount of time.. however, if the slave cares about his master and decides to stay, his master must take him to the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. But did you catch that in there? Slaves go free after a set amount of time. And they couild be 'redeemed' from you as well.
Now, do you really want to continue down that slippery slope? You see, there were also 'Nazirites'.. as in Samson? Go see Numbers 6 on this one. Can you see the utter ridiculousness of trying to apply the ceremonial laws of the Jews to today? Take careful note: CEREMONIAL LAW As for food... Read Matthew 7 verses 1-23. Clear enough yet, or do I have to go point by point, verse by verse and hold your hand? Read it for yourself in entirety. Thank you.

Nope, can't say I ever had. Reason being is that unfortunately I was brought up Catholic and so we were never encouraged to read the bible. 8 years of Catholic grade school and don't recall seeing a bible in the classroom. Instead our daily religion classes had nuns and priests read it to us and told us what it meant - much like what you and most of the bible thumpers here like to do. Much safer and convenient that way, point out what you want to make your point and ignore the rest.

I'm not about to argue with you on bible points, if I wanted to take the time I can probably find some quote somewhere to contradict anything you care to point out.

Just how & when did this post which is on gays in the military turn into a religious dispute? Religious nuts take all the fun out of Free Republic, you don't change anyone's views, and people are quicker to flame and insult over a religious issue than over anything else.
