This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

boom

whoa.

Damn.

I’m going to fucking memorize this shit.

I will forever perform this monlogoue when people start sprouting religious shit

Very good except for one small thing; Judaism does not say that there is an afterlife.  We had to atone for the sins to be righteous to get into the promised land, which is usually interpreted as Israel.

“Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak… it just means you’ve been strong for too long.” You are not less than anyone else because of your hurt - you are just as important and wonderful as all of us. Being strong doesn’t mean never crying, never showing emotion or vulnerability. You are pushing on, beautiful and so amazing, even if you don’t think so - and I hope you can see that some day, if you don’t already.

Thanks for your nearly-perfect timing.  Around 4:30 AM would’ve been better, but it still helps.

Aaaaahhhh the frame rate aaaaaahhhhh

So I was listening to http://disco-dragons.tumblr.com/post/23849959811/nintendocompositions-the-legend-of-zelda and then scrolled up and saw this as the next thing.  The way many of them lined up with the music was uncanny.

Man, this cutie is so high on my celebrity crush list. Did you know Daniel Radcliff knows all the words to Tom Lehrer’s “The Elements”? *swoon!*

So does Graham Stark from LoadingReadyRun.  (I believe I have shown you many of their videos.)  So do I.  Have I mentioned that I learn lyrics to songs?

I prefer the other version of the song, but the AMV is still quite good.  Also, the clip starting around 2:45 is used so often, I knew exactly how it was going to line up before seeing it.
