Leviticus 26:8
You're using Leviticus to defend Maharishi? Are you a religious scholar? Perhaps you could help with the following questions: a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Leviticus 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'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'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? > Maharishi works five times more efficiently...no surprise. It's not arrogance, he just is > making a statement of who he is.

It's interesting that true believer indoctrinees like you try to blame people who make honest observations that you don't like. It appears that you lack critical thinking skills. That's to your loss. > Look what happened with Raja Emmanuel the other day. (And note the > significance of his name, "God is with us." You think that because he calls himself Emmanuel that that somehow suggests that God was actually with him when he made that disastrous lecture? I know guys in South America named Jesus. Does that mean that they are the Sons of God? Again, you're trying to blame the audience for 'Raja Emanuel's' ineptitude in giving a lecture. He made an ass of himself. David Lynch had to rescue him. It's that simple. > > JGD > > Donald >
