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.

Is it true the reason you wear a brown coat in the show is because you’re a fan of Firefly?
Tennant is such a fanboy.
#FDJJDFDFJKDFKJ #REALLY? #THIS I DID NOT KNOW. #I can imagine it now #David sitting in front of a little TV in the downtime between takes #Dragging Billie in and forcing her to watch it too #”I swear Bills Firefly is amazing you’re going to love it!” as he busts out his DVDs #”LOOK AT CAPTAIN MAL’S COAT BILLS LOOK AT IT ISN’T IT MAGESTIC?” #As Billie just sits and laughs at his fanboy commentary throughout every episode #He has the theme song as his ringtone #And everytime someone calls it he practically ends up missing the call because he had to listen to all of it #Other than if Billie calls #because then he just answers the call singing the rest of it it #”Dave my shoot is over wanna grab some lunch-”’ #”I DON’T CARE I’M STILL FREE YOU CAN’T TAKE THE SKIES FROM MEEEE” #”…. So is that a yes to the food?” #my god this i now my headcanon #you two ruin lives
I give up. You ARE perfect.
#he thought that was so fucking cute
“Oh my god, are you Slitheen?”
The words slipped from her mouth and the Doctor tried desperately hard not to smile. This was a Serious Situation (Oh, ‘serious,’ I like that word, serious, that s-sound, sssserious, sssslippery, it rolls off the tongue just like that- wait no, pay attention) and here was Rose Tyler, his fantastic brilliant Rose Tyler, trying to make sense of it all. Instead of running away or panicking, Rose was standing up to him.
He knew she didn’t know who he was yet, this new man who had just changed right in front of him; he knew that he had never explained regeneration to her - that just because big ears and a northern accent became big hair and a mole (really love that mole) didn’t mean he wasn’t the same man. But as terrified and worried as she must be, she was standing strong, poking him in the chest, and demanding to know if he was Slitheen.
All things considered (Slitheen? Really, Rose? What are you trying to say here?), she was demanding answers and whoever he was, this new man he’d become, he was still so proud of her. Good to know somethings hadn’t changed.
