Love and Forget: These Loving Memories:

Fanarts by Allasvitkona. it's the two arts titled "Caught under the Mistletoe". Much thanks!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. As you said, "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18.22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

However, I do need some advice from you regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how best to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25.44 states that I may 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 to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. 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?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Leviticus15.19-24). The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. 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?

5. 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, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Leviticus11.10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of abomination?

7. Leviticus.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?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Leviticus19.27. How should they die?

9. I know from Leviticus 11.6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean. May I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 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? (Leviticus 24.10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, as we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Leviticus 20.14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Yours truly,
An Inquiring Supporter

P.S. I look forward to your answers because there are a number of other issues that I'd like to get settled as soon as you've enlightened me on these ... Thanks again

Homophobia…?

1)Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...

Plotbunnies -Anyone care to adopt?-

This Oath of Mine: The mark stung horribly, even more so at the thought of him and that night…if he wasn’t so stubborn, he would probably get off his ass and head to the Western Lands. They were technically his lands now too…but damn it…he wouldn’t! The bastard had to come to him first! A Sess/Inu Yaoi.

Pirate’s Possession: “He holds with him the two most beautiful gems I have ever seen…his eyes.” Harry is a noble’s son while Draco is one of the most feared pirate captains. What happens when Draco notice Harry’s eyes? Two emerald green jewels. A Draco/Harry AU fic.

Familiar Knots: a Law and Order: SVU fic with the pairing of Elliot Stabler/George Haung. Warnings of: Mentions of Rape, Attempted Rape, Murder, Slash, Sexual Situations

My Grand Hero: Harry grows up in Smallville with his “strange” uncle (Severus, Sirius or Remus, haven’t decided) and Clark, his somewhat neighbor, has always acted as Harry’s protector. Harry knows about Clark’s superpowers and although Clark knows Harry knows, they never talk about it, just as they never talk about Harry’s “strangeness”. A Clark/Harry fic with Harry eventually having to return to Hogwarts and Clark going with him.

Lovely In Time: “It’s alright. I think after all I’ve been through, this won’t be so bad. A little vacation I should think.” If only he knew that he would face: suitors, a lover, a manic godfather who is clueless, and a werewolf who’s in love. He’s beginning to think it would be easier to face Voldemort. A time-travel story in which Harry goes back to the Marauder’s time. Severus/Harry, Sirius/Remus, some James/Lily.

Closing Sequestered: “We had a deal Dumbledore-san. You would deal with this Voldemort fellow because it was your problem originally and we would not interfere. It’s been fifteen years. The deal is off and we are interfering.” Yu Yu Hakusho fic with Hiei/Kurama and Harry/?. Enough said.

A Snapshot of Reminiscing: This is actually the prequel/something else of Twilight’s Bloom. One-shots dealing with my other story: Twilight’s Bloom. You might want to read that one before reading this one. This involves moments (snapshots) of the past that leads to the future of Twilight's Bloom.

Tangerine Blossoms: A Bleach fic set after Soul Society Arc in where Ichigo is “persuaded” by Soul Society to remain there so as not to affect the Real World with his Reitsu. He’s placed under the “guide” of Byakuya…oh boy. Byakuya/Ichigo fic with nosey sisters and an unfeeling fiancée plus jealousy, matchmaking and mischief. Goes all the way to when they go to invading Hueco Mundo. Note: Ichigo will still become a Vizard here.

Trinkets on the Wrist: A Draco/Harry fic set in their Seventh Year. Harry finds himself engaged to Draco by some fluke of Old Magic and Law. Draco is fine with the idea, one could even say ecstatic but Harry’s not buying it. Will Draco be able to convince him that their situation isn’t nearly as bad as it seem? Will he be able to get Harry to love him? Draco/Harry.

Clear Skies and Warm Rain: Katsuya has been fired, his dad’s in the hospital and his friends are on vacation, leaving him lonely and low on cash. So of course when Mokuba chooses Jou as his ‘nanny’, Jou agrees, despite Kaiba Seto’s threatening glare. A Yu-Gi-Oh fic with the pairing of Kaiba/Jou(Joey). This story will basically take off after Battle City. This will be a bit like Au Pair and Pride and Prejudice for whoever has seen the movie(s)/books. You do not need to be familiar with these pieces to actually follow the story. Jounouchi will be acting like an au pair/nanny. It will be explained, don’t worry!

Light the Way: A Supernatural/Harry Potter crossover with Dean/Harry pairing. Harry meets Michael (the Archangel) after the War (the Wizard's). Despite the fact that Michael was mostly there to make a deal with one Harry Potter, he fell in love with him. Harry, lonely, allowed himself to be in a relationship with Michael, the first person to have ever touched him (important note, not because I want him to be some frilly virgin, I assure you) and what a surprise when he finds out he's pregnant! Michael explains the importance of the child and so this is how Sam and Dean meet Harry and his son, fighting off demons and even some angels. Will Michael be able to let the dream of having his 'forever after' with Harry once the Apocalypse is done or will he let Harry go?
-Some one PLEASE adopt this or else I'll be tempted to write it!

To anyone who is interested, I'm willing to make these plotbunnies into a challenge of sorts or if anyone wishes, you can "adopt" the idea!

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without complexities or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

- Sonnet XVII Pablo Neruda

The Orchid and the Rose - A wonderful short film that can be found on youtube. Truly beautiful!
