		<description>Oh my god... THAT IS WHAT I FEAR!!! 
 
I am a 24 year old woman living in NY and I am terrified of the government/church taking away my rights. 
 
I may not want a baby now but I want the right to decided to abort one should I be raped, drugged, or in some other way harmed by birth.  I also want the choice to keep it should it come to that. 
 
I want to be FREE of Religion.  Barely do people notice that there are more than 3 religions in the world and I know that mine *Wicca!* specifically mentions that shoving my views down ANYONES throat is wrong.  That forcing people will come back to me threefold. 
That any wrong I committ will be accounted for. 
 
I do not want to live in a Republic of Gilead.  I do not want to live in a Christian nation. I do not want to live in a Jewish nation. Or Islamic or ANY RELIGION!  Religion is so PERSONAL that forcing it on others takes away from it. 
 
And, in a different vein, my father passed last year without a will.  Does that make him irresponsible?  No. He had other ways in place for me and my brother.  But lacking that document has been a hassle. I do not want ANYONE ELSE to go through this pain after someone they love dies.  I couldnt even call anyone when I found out let alone LOOK for that paper.  The lawyer fees are retardedly high and I cant stand how my Brother and I are being treated because of the lack of will. 
 
Also, my brother and I grew up in a straight household. But he is gay and I am bisexual.  Now since my parents divorced at 11 do you think THAT caused us to &quot;turn&quot; gay? NO! Actually, as far as I remember he and I have always been this way.  My mom knew my brother was gay at age 2!!  Is it because he grew up with a sister and a mother that he became &quot;gay&quot;?  Not really!  He has some of the MANLIEST (seriously, like 2 army uncles, 1 navy, 1 navy step dad, and TONS of military friends of family) men I ever knew in our family.  People who scared boyfriends of my friends.  He plays more video games(halo!!!) , watches sports and is more involved in the community than HALF the people I know.  I love my brother and there is NOTHING wrong with us.  We are human, citizens, and deserve these rights and privilages. If our church can marry us, they will. They dont have a problem with it, just you george. </description>

		<description>To Dave T., Curious George actually made the statement that he(they) want Homosexuality and all LGBT people to be illegal. 
 
His(They&#039;re) exact words: 
&quot;I don&#8217;t want my kids to be exposed to it if it will increase their chances of becoming homosexual and living that horrid lifestyle.&#8221; 
 
That means no LGBT people on TV, in the news, in books, magazines, in movies, walking down the street holding hands, kissing in public, on the internet, ect. ect. We all know the whole hate filled spiel.... That is they&#039;re agenda. </description>

		<description>George is ok with LGBT folks getting all the rights of straight folks - they should be doing it through civil unions and domestic partnerships and save marriage for the straight folks. Except when George can prevent LGBT folks from getting civil unions, like in Hawaii. 
 
Just come right out and say it George: &quot;I don&#039;t want LGBT couples to have the same rights as straight married couples.&quot; </description>

		<description>A longtime favorite of mine: 
 
God&#039;s Laws 
 
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God&#039;s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. 
 
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.  
 
a) 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?  
 
b) 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?  
 
c) 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.  
 
d) 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&#039;t I own Canadians?  
 
e) 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?  
 
f) 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&#039;t agree. Can you settle this?  
 
g) 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?  
 
h) 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?  
 
i) 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?  
 
j) 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&#039;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, so I am confident you can help.  
 
Thank you again for reminding us that God&#039;s word is eternal and unchanging. </description>

For those who have not read Margaret Atwood&#039;s &quot;The Handmaid&#039;s Tale,&quot; I suggest you do so at once ... because this dystopian novel represents what a whole bunch of Fundamentalist/Dominionist types would like to see happen.  The Constitution is replaced by Levitical law, just for starters ... </description>
