Today is Friday, August 10, 2012. We actually got an inch of rain last night. HURRAH
Pete's stats for today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of weight lifting and 60 minutes of walking = 3.1 miles for an August total of 24.3 miles. My weight was 162.4 pounds.
The reason I got on the Liviticus thing was I read in my bathroom book that the very strict Puritan Christians had killed a 16 year-old boy for having sex with some animals. And they killed the animals also because it was the law - the law being chapter 20 verse 15 in the book of Leviticus. So I set out to find how many other laws were in Leviticus that christians should follow. It was interesting to say the least.
In 2012 many right-wing christitan churches use chapter 18:verse 22 (homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin) to defend their anti-gay and anti-gay marriage views but they conveniently don't mention all the other rules they should follow from the book of Leviticus.
What did Jesus have to say about this topic? Well, Jesus never once mentions homosexuality, but instead offer two simple laws: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and love your neighbor as yourself.
I like the words of Jesus better than the words of Moses.
