The Perils of Using the Bible for Political Purposes

Stephen Suh (a evangelical seminary graduate) writes about the selective use of the Bible (in this case Leviticus) for political purposes. Not having read Leviticus in a very long time, I was struck by its relevance to the immigration and banking issues we face today. It seems to me that the conservatives who use Leviticus to rail about gay marriage and pre-marital sex need to read the rest of the book. Would it change their views about illegal immigration and fraudulent CDOs? This is selective use of religious teachings at its worst.
