especially since christ basically said, "Um, you remember all that shit I said before, as God? Toss that, believe in me, and, like, that basically does it. Don't be an asshole."

Leviticus is some Old Testament shit which serves primarily to highlight how much better Jesus' plan was than the old plan of making lots of rules and exceptions and stuff, even if you are a christian.

This is so tasteless it reminds me why i don't claim i'm christian in mixed company. i was raised christian, and think true christianity has lots going for it, but i'm done being identified among these kinds of fucking jackasses.
