(321 posts)64. Unfortunately you are correct....
Those who harp on Leviticus seem to forget that in order to be a Christian you are living under a new covenant.... meaning that if they want to live by the laws of the old covenant (old testament) then they should start calling themselves orthodox Jews.
Those who pick and choose from the bible really get on my nerves. They like to pick parts that won't impact them, pick parts which to use as a hammer on someone else, and completely skip over things that would pull them out of their own comfort zones.
Christianity was NEVER meant to be used as a weapon. NOT EVER! However some feel that they have a "moral high ground" with which to feel superior. As a christian I am seriously offended by those who act that way.

The Bible is a sicko, twisted book of mythology and Yahweh is an evil psychopath.

I love how people gravitate to the parts of religion that reinforce their own prejudices.
